INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM KEYBOARD MICROPHONE ARRAY FOR AUDIO CAPTURE AND QUALITY PRESENTATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240036654 titled 'INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM KEYBOARD MICROPHONE ARRAY FOR AUDIO CAPTURE AND QUALITY PRESENTATION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an information handling system keyboard that includes an array of microphones with a specific layout. This layout allows the microphones to locate human voice sounds and isolate voices originating from a specific distance and orientation, while filtering out other voices and non-voice sounds. The keyboard also includes a display that provides a visual indication of voice quality and can provide instructions to the speaker on adjustments to improve voice capture quality for video or audio conferences. The keyboard display also supports an interface to control a keyboard, video, mouse (KVM) switch that is connected to the keyboard.

  • The keyboard has an array of microphones with a defined layout.
  • The microphones can locate human voice sounds and isolate specific voices.
  • The microphones can filter out other voices and non-voice sounds.
  • The keyboard display shows a visual indication of voice quality.
  • The display can provide instructions to the speaker on adjustments to improve voice capture quality.
  • The keyboard display can control a keyboard, video, mouse (KVM) switch.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Video and audio conferences: The keyboard can be used in information handling systems for video or audio conferences, providing improved voice capture quality and instructions to speakers for adjustments.
  • Voice recognition systems: The microphone array and voice isolation capabilities can be used in voice recognition systems to accurately capture and process human voice sounds.
  • Gaming: The microphone array can be used in gaming keyboards to enhance voice chat capabilities and filter out background noise.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Improved voice capture quality: The microphone array and voice isolation capabilities help in capturing clear and isolated voices, reducing background noise and improving overall voice quality.
  • Speaker guidance: The display provides instructions to speakers on adjustments they can make to improve voice capture quality, helping them achieve desired results in video or audio conferences.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced communication: The technology improves voice capture quality, leading to clearer and more effective communication in video or audio conferences.
  • User-friendly interface: The display provides visual indications and instructions, making it easier for users to adjust and optimize voice capture settings.
  • Versatility: The technology can be used in various applications, such as video conferences, voice recognition systems, and gaming keyboards, providing flexibility and adaptability.


Original Abstract Submitted

an information handling system keyboard includes an array of microphones having a defined layout that supports location of human voice sounds captured by the array of microphones to isolate voices originating from a defined distance and orientation while filtering other voices and non-voice sounds. a display included in the keyboard depicts a visual indication of voice quality that can include instructions to a speaker regarding adjustments to help obtain a desired voice capture quality to support a video or audio conference of an information handling system interfaced with the keyboard. the keyboard display also supports an interface to control a keyboard, video, mouse (kvm) switch interfaced with the keyboard.
