MODIFICATION OF FAR END AUDIO SIGNALS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18520901 titled 'MODIFICATION OF FAR END AUDIO SIGNALS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for modifying far-end audio signals in a conference meeting setting. The method involves analyzing the audio data, determining modifications based on predefined values and thresholds, and outputting the modified audio signals.
- The method involves establishing a conference meeting with multiple user equipment (UE) and receiving far-end audio (FEA) data from a specific UE.
- The computing device generates modified FEA by calculating time-domain and frequency-domain sums-of-absolute-differences (SAD) from the FEA data.
- If the difference between the modified FEA and a predefined value exceeds a threshold, a second modified FEA is determined and stored in a buffer before being output.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various communication settings where real-time audio modification is required, such as conference calls, online meetings, and teleconferencing.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in improving audio quality and reducing background noise during conference meetings, ensuring clearer communication between participants.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include enhanced audio clarity, improved user experience during conference calls, and better overall communication efficiency in group settings.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include integration into video conferencing software, communication platforms, and telecommunication systems to enhance audio quality for users.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be existing audio processing techniques used in telecommunication systems or conference call software to enhance audio quality and reduce background noise.
What are the specific predefined values and thresholds used in the method described in the abstract?
The abstract mentions determining a difference between the first modified FEA and a predefined value, as well as exceeding a predefined threshold. However, it does not specify the exact values or thresholds used in the method.
How does the method handle different types of audio data and adjust modifications accordingly?
The abstract mentions generating modified FEA by calculating time-domain and frequency-domain sums-of-absolute-differences (SAD) from the FEA data. However, it does not provide details on how the method adapts modifications based on the characteristics of the audio data.
Original Abstract Submitted
Techniques for modification of far end audio signals are provided. In an example method, a computing device establishes a conference meeting including a first user equipment (UE) among a plurality of UE. The computing device then receives far end audio (FEA) data from the first UE. The computing device generates first modified FEA comprising determining a time-domain sum-of-absolute-difference (SAD) from the FEA data and determines a difference between the first modified FEA and a predefined value. Responsive to the difference exceeding a predefined threshold, the computing device determines a second modified FEA comprising determining a frequency-domain SAD from the FEA data and stores the second modified FEA in a buffer. The second modified is then output from the buffer.
