Publication number: 20220012315Abstract: An authorization system based on biometric identification and a method thereof are provided. An incomplete physiological signal of a subject is obtained. Next, the incomplete physiological signal is analyzed according to a machine learning model to identify an identity corresponding to the subject, and then output identity information. Then, whether the authorization is obtained based on the identity information is determined. When the authorization is obtained, the authorization content is provided. Therefore, in the case where the physiological signal is an incomplete signal, it is possible to perform identity recognition based on the machine learning model, and then to determine whether to provide the corresponding authorization content, so as to achieve the technical efficacy of recognition stability.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2020Publication date: January 13, 2022Inventors: An-Yeu WU, Ting-Wei SUN

Patent number: 9601128Abstract: A voice processing method for use in a communication apparatus, in an embodiment, includes the following steps. A near-end audio signal is received by at least one microphone of the communication apparatus. Voice and noise energy data are generated by performing voice activity detection on the near-end audio signal. A noise amount is obtained by performing noise energy calculation with the noise energy data. Whether the noise amount exceeds a first noise amount threshold is determined. If the noise amount exceeds the first noise amount threshold, a sidetone mode of the communication apparatus is enabled to produce a sidetone signal according to the voice energy data and play the sidetone signal through a speaker thereof. A noise suppression mode is enabled to produce a far-end audio signal according to the voice energy data and transmitting the far-end audio signal by a communication module of the communication apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2013Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: HTC CORPORATIONInventors: Chun-Ren Hu, Hann-Shi Tong, Ting-Wei Sun

Patent number: 9173020Abstract: A control method of sound producing, sound producing apparatus, and portable apparatus are provided. The control method of sound producing is for a portable device, including the following steps. (a) A first detected parameter indicating a detected excursion of a speaker of the portable device is generated. (b) A second audio signal is generated based on a first audio signal, wherein the second audio signal is generated selectively by compensation according to at least the first detected parameter. (c) A gain value is determined according to at least the first detected parameter and a third audio signal is generated based on the second audio signal according to the gain value.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2013Date of Patent: October 27, 2015Assignee: HTC CorporationInventors: Chih-Chiang Cheng, Ting-Wei Sun, Hann-Shi Tong

Patent number: 9064497Abstract: Method and apparatus for audio intelligibility enhancement and computing apparatus are provided. The method includes the following steps. Environment noise is detected by performing voice activity detection according to a detected audio signal from at least a microphone of a computing device. Noise information is obtained according to the detected environment noise and a first audio signal. A second audio signal is outputted by boosting the first audio signal under an adjustable headroom by the computing device according to the noise information and the first audio signal.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2012Date of Patent: June 23, 2015Assignee: HTC CorporationInventors: Jen-Po Hsiao, Ting-Wei Sun, Hann-Shi Tong

Patent number: 8924206Abstract: An electrical apparatus a voice signal receiving method thereof are disclosed. The electrical apparatus includes a plurality of voice receivers, a voice activity detector, a voice channel switch and a noise eliminator. The voice receivers are used to receive the voice signals. The voice activity detector receives and detects the voice signals, and obtains a main voice signal from the voice signals. The voice channel switch transports the main voice signal to a voice transporting channel and transports a plurality of other voice signals of the voice signals other than the main voice signal to a noise transporting channel according to a detecting result of the voice activity detector. The noise eliminator reduces the noise in the main voice according to the voice signals from the noise transporting channel.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2011Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: HTC CorporationInventors: Ting-Wei Sun, Hann-Shi Tong

Patent number: 8687796Abstract: A method and an electronic device for communication quality improvement based on ambient noise sensing are provided for improving communication quality. The method includes: during a call, dynamically setting a noise reduction mode in response to the varying of an ambient noise amount of at least one audio signal received by the electronic device. The setting step includes: during the call, dynamically determining whether the ambient noise amount indicates the needs of the application of noise reduction. If the ambient noise amount indicates the needs of the application of noise reduction, then one of a plurality of noise reduction levels is selected according to the ambient noise amount, and the noise reduction mode is set according to the selected noise reduction level, wherein the noise reduction levels include at least two levels corresponding to two different amounts of noise reduction.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2010Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: HTC CorporationInventors: Ting-Wei Sun, Hann-Shi Tong, Wen-Liang Tseng
