Publication number: 20240380970Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that can control a camera according to one or more conditions specified by a user. A condition can be satisfied when, for example, the automated assistant detects a particular environment feature is apparent. In this way, the user can rely on the automated assistant to identify and capture certain moments without necessarily requiring the user to constantly monitor a viewing window of the camera. In some implementations, a condition for the automated assistant to capture media data can be based on application data and/or other contextual data that is associated with the automated assistant. For instance, a relationship between content in a camera viewing window and other content of an application interface can be a condition upon which the automated assistant captures certain media data using a camera.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2024Publication date: November 14, 2024Inventors: Felix Weissenberger, Balint Miklos, Victor Carbune, Matthew Sharifi, Domenico Carbotta, Ray Chen, Kevin Fu, Bogdan Prisacari, Fo Lee, Mucun Lu, Neha Garg, Jacopo Sannazzaro Natta, Barbara Poblocka, Jae Seo, Matthew Miao, Thomas Qian, Luv Kothari

Patent number: 6608897Abstract: A method of canceling echo signals in a telephone network operating in a double talk mode has been developed. A system for implementing the method is also presented. In the invention the conventional normalized least mean square (NLMS) algorithm for echo cancellers is modified such that echo path changes continue to be tracked even after a double talk condition has been detected. The modified algorithm, known herein as a double-talk normalized least mean square (DNLMS) algorithm adaptively adjusts the convergence rate based on the power difference between the echo signal or the residual signal and the far end signal.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 1998Date of Patent: August 19, 2003Assignee: Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.Inventors: Gary Q. Jin, Gordon J. Reesor, Thomas Qian

Patent number: 6282286Abstract: A nonlinear processor (NLP) for selectively removing or reducing residual echo signals from an acoustic echo canceller associated with a telephony terminal is provided. Low level background noise and near end speech signals pass through the NLP structure substantially unaltered. Distortion, background noise above a preset threshold and echo signals including long duration echoes are replaced with a linear combination of previous noise data.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 1998Date of Patent: August 28, 2001Assignee: Mitel CorporationInventors: Gordon J.
