PREDICT AND TRIGGER A FUTURE RESPONSE TO A PREDICTED BACKGROUND NOISE BASED ON A SEQUENCE OF SOUNDS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18282324 titled 'PREDICT AND TRIGGER A FUTURE RESPONSE TO A PREDICTED BACKGROUND NOISE BASED ON A SEQUENCE OF SOUNDS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a device that can identify trigger sounds in a microphone signal, predict the probability of subsequent sounds with defined disturbance characteristics, and trigger remedial actions to mute or suppress those sounds when necessary.

  • The device identifies trigger sounds in microphone signals.
  • It predicts the probability of subsequent sounds with defined disturbance characteristics.
  • It triggers remedial actions to mute or suppress those subsequent sounds.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Noise-canceling headphones
  • Smart home security systems
  • Conference call systems

Problems Solved

This technology helps in:

  • Reducing background noise
  • Improving audio quality in recordings
  • Enhancing user experience in various audio applications

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Enhanced sound quality
  • Improved user experience
  • Increased efficiency in audio processing

Potential Commercial Applications

This technology could be commercially applied in:

  • Audio equipment manufacturing
  • Security system integration
  • Communication technology development

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be noise-canceling headphones that use similar principles to identify and suppress unwanted sounds.

What are the specific disturbance characteristics that the device predicts?

The device predicts the probability of subsequent sounds having defined disturbance characteristics, such as loudness, frequency range, and duration.

How does the device determine when to trigger a remedial action?

The device triggers a remedial action when the probability of occurrence of the subsequent sound with the defined disturbance characteristic satisfies a remedial action rule, indicating a high likelihood of unwanted noise.


Original Abstract Submitted

A device performing operations including identifying occurrence of a trigger sound in the at least one microphone signal. Operations also include predicting probability of occurrence of a subsequent sound having a defined disturbance characteristic in the at least one microphone signal following the occurrence of the trigger sound. Operations further include triggering a remedial action to be performed to mute the at least one microphone signal or to suppress the subsequent sound in the at least one microphone signal when the probability of occurrence of the subsequent sound having the defined disturbance characteristic satisfies a remedial action rule.
