  • Patent number: 10848855
    Abstract: A method, an electronic device, and a recording medium for compensating an in-ear audio signal are provided. The method is applicable to the electronic device having a processor. In the method, an in-ear audio signal transmitted through an inner ear when a user speaks is captured by using an in-ear microphone, and an outer audio signal transmitted through air when the user speaks is captured by using an outer microphone in a training stage. Then, a machine learning model of audio signals is established for an objective function and is trained by using the in-ear audio signal and the outer audio signal. Finally, the in-ear audio signal captured by the in-ear microphone is converted into a compensated audio signal by using the trained machine learning model in an online stage, and the compensated audio signal is output.

  • Patent number: 9763005
    Abstract: The present disclosure illustrates an acoustic echo cancellation method and system using the same. The acoustic echo cancellation method comprises the following steps. Firstly, a prior-knowledge matrix comprising a plurality of space vectors is built. Then, an initial filter vector is generated by the prior-knowledge matrix and an initial weighting vector. The weighting vector is updated based on the difference of the echo signal and the estimated signal in an iteration algorithm, and the coefficient of the filter vector is updated according to the updated weighting vector. An estimated signal is generated according to the updated filter vector and the original signal. Finally, the next echo signal is cancelled by the near-end estimated signal.
