ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR OUTPUTTING SOUND AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18593442 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR OUTPUTTING SOUND AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF

The abstract describes an electronic device that can predict and eliminate reverberation from a speech signal uttered by a user.

  • Vibration sensor and microphone are used to capture vibration and speech signals.
  • Memory stores instructions for processing the signals.
  • Processor executes instructions to predict and eliminate reverberation from the speech signal.
  • Predicted reverberation information is used to remove reverberation from the speech signal.

Potential Applications: - Communication devices - Audio recording equipment - Hearing aids

Problems Solved: - Improving speech clarity in noisy environments - Enhancing audio quality in recordings - Improving user experience with communication devices

Benefits: - Clearer speech transmission - Enhanced audio quality - Improved user satisfaction

Commercial Applications: Title: "Reverberation Elimination Technology for Enhanced Communication" This technology can be used in smartphones, audio recording devices, and hearing aid devices to improve speech clarity and audio quality, leading to better user experience and customer satisfaction.

Prior Art: Prior research in speech signal processing and audio enhancement technologies may provide insights into similar methods for reverberation elimination.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in speech signal processing, audio enhancement technologies, and reverberation elimination techniques to incorporate the latest innovations into this technology.

Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the device predict reverberation information based on speech and vibration signals? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in different types of electronic devices?


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device includes a vibration sensor; a microphone; memory storing at least one instruction; and at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the at least one instruction to: receive, via the microphone, a speech signal including reverberation uttered by a user, receive, via the vibration sensor, a vibration signal related to the speech signal, transmitted through at least a portion of a body of the user, predict reverberation information based on the speech signal and the vibration signal, and eliminate the reverberation included in the speech signal based on the predicted reverberation information.
