METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR VOICE PERCEPTION MANAGEMENT IN A MULTI-USER ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240029750 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR VOICE PERCEPTION MANAGEMENT IN A MULTI-USER ENVIRONMENT
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a speakerphone that includes various components such as a processor, memory device, power management unit, and multiple microphones. It also mentions the inclusion of a digital signal processor (DSP) to detect a single-user mode and process the audio waves received by the microphones.
- The speakerphone has a processor, memory device, power management unit, and multiple microphones.
- It includes a digital signal processor (DSP) to detect a single-user mode and process audio waves.
- The first, second, and third microphones receive audio waves.
- The DSP analyzes the wave phases of the audio waves received by the microphones.
- It calculates the direction of a single user's voice relative to the speakerphone.
- The DSP processes the voice of the single user and filters out other voices detected by the microphones.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Conference calls: The speakerphone can enhance the voice of a single user and filter out background noise, improving the quality of conference calls.
- Voice recognition systems: By determining the direction of a user's voice, the speakerphone can assist in accurate voice recognition and command execution.
- Hands-free communication: The speakerphone can be used in cars or other environments where hands-free communication is necessary, providing clear audio and minimizing background noise.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Background noise: The speakerphone filters out other voices and focuses on the voice of a single user, reducing the impact of background noise.
- Voice clarity: By processing the audio waves and analyzing wave phases, the speakerphone can enhance the clarity of a user's voice, making communication more effective.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved audio quality: The speakerphone enhances the voice of a single user and filters out unwanted noise, resulting in improved audio quality during calls or voice interactions.
- Directional voice detection: By calculating the direction of a user's voice, the speakerphone can accurately capture and process the intended voice, improving the overall user experience.
- Hands-free convenience: The speakerphone allows for hands-free communication, enabling users to engage in conversations or voice commands without the need to hold a device.
Original Abstract Submitted
a speakerphone includes a processor, a memory device, a power management unit, a first microphone to receive audio waves, a second microphone to receive audio waves, and a third microphone to receive audio waves. the speakerphone may also include a digital signal processor (dsp) to detect a single-user mode activated at the speakerphone, process the audio waves received by the first microphone, second microphone, and third microphone to determine the wave phases of the audio waves received by the first microphone, second microphone, and third microphone, calculate a direction of a voice of a single user relative to the speakerphone; and process the voice of the single user and filter other voices detected by the first microphone, second microphone, and third microphone from the user's voice.
