DISTRIBUTED TELECONFERENCING USING PERSONALIZED ENHANCEMENT MODELS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17848678 titled 'DISTRIBUTED TELECONFERENCING USING PERSONALIZED ENHANCEMENT MODELS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application relates to distributed teleconferencing and proposes techniques to enhance call quality for co-located users using their own devices. The innovations include:
- Personalized enhancement models to improve microphone signals for participants in a call.
- Proximity-based mixing to omit microphone signals from devices in the same room from playback signals transmitted to other devices in that room.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Teleconferencing platforms and software.
- Collaboration tools for remote teams.
- Virtual meetings and webinars.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Poor call quality in teleconferencing sessions.
- Difficulty in hearing participants in a crowded or noisy room.
- Echoes and background noise affecting the clarity of audio.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced call quality for teleconferencing sessions.
- Improved audio clarity for co-located users.
- Better user experience and communication during remote meetings.
Original Abstract Submitted
This document relates to distributed teleconferencing. Some implementations can employ personalized enhancement models to enhance microphone signals for participants in a call. Further implementations can perform proximity-based mixing, where microphone signals received from devices in a particular room can be omitted from playback signals transmitted to other devices in the same room. These techniques can allow enhanced call quality for teleconferencing sessions where co-located users can employ their own devices to participate in a call with other users.
