DISTRIBUTED MULTI-DEVICE AUDIO CAPTURE IN A SHARED ACOUSTIC ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240357285 titled 'DISTRIBUTED MULTI-DEVICE AUDIO CAPTURE IN A SHARED ACOUSTIC ENVIRONMENT
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes techniques for automatically muting microphones in a multi-device environment to ensure high-quality audio capture during teleconferences.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Selection of the microphone with the highest rated audio input for teleconference audio input.
- Each computing device in the meeting room determines a score for its microphone signal.
- Sharing of scores among devices to transmit the microphone signal with the highest score to the conference.
- Host-based and distributed systems for determining which microphones to auto-mute.
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in teleconferencing systems, meeting rooms, and any environment with multiple computing devices requiring efficient audio capture.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the issue of selecting the best microphone for audio input in a shared environment with multiple devices, ensuring optimal audio quality during teleconferences.
Benefits:
- Improved audio quality during teleconferences.
- Efficient selection of the best microphone for audio input.
- Seamless integration with multiple computing devices in shared environments.
Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in telecommunication companies, conference room equipment manufacturers, and businesses with remote communication needs to enhance audio quality during meetings and conferences.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this technology improve audio quality in teleconferences? 2. What are the key differences between host-based and distributed systems in this context?
Frequently Updated Research: There may be ongoing research in the field of audio processing and teleconferencing technologies that could impact the development and implementation of these auto-muting procedures.
Original Abstract Submitted
techniques are provided herein for auto-muting procedures that result in efficient high-quality audio capture in a multi-device environment. in particular, when there are multiple computing devices in a shared meeting room, the microphone with the highest rated audio input is selected for the teleconference audio input from the shared environment. each computing device connected to the teleconference from the meeting room determines a score for its microphone signal. the score is shared with the other devices in the room, and the microphone signal with the highest score is transmitted to the conference. host-based systems include a host device receiving and reviewing the scores and determining which microphones to auto-mute. other distributed systems include each computing device transmitting its score to the other devices and receiving the scores from the other devices, and each device determining whether to auto-mute.
