ACOUSTIC FEEDBACK MANAGEMENT IN REAL-TIME AUDIO COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240040043 titled 'ACOUSTIC FEEDBACK MANAGEMENT IN REAL-TIME AUDIO COMMUNICATION
Simplified Explanation
The disclosed patent application describes a method for managing acoustic feedback in real-time audio communications within a communications system. The method involves determining whether a first communication device is in loudspeaker mode, whether it is in real-time audio communications with a second communication device, and whether both devices are in the same acoustic space. If these conditions are met, a request signal is sent to a mitigation module to request measures against acoustic feedback. The patent application also includes a device and system configured to perform this method, as well as a non-transitory computer-readable medium, an encoder, and a decoder.
- The method manages acoustic feedback in real-time audio communications.
- It determines if a communication device is in loudspeaker mode.
- It checks if the device is in real-time audio communications with another device.
- It verifies if both devices are in the same acoustic space.
- If all conditions are met, a request signal is sent to a mitigation module.
- The request signal asks for measures against acoustic feedback.
- The patent application includes a device, system, computer-readable medium, encoder, and decoder.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Teleconferencing systems
- Voice communication devices (e.g., smartphones, tablets)
- Public address systems
- Audio recording and broadcasting equipment
Problems solved by this technology:
- Acoustic feedback during real-time audio communications
- Distortion and interference caused by feedback loops
- Improved audio quality and clarity in communication systems
Benefits of this technology:
- Minimizes or eliminates acoustic feedback in real-time audio communications
- Enhances the overall audio experience for users
- Reduces the need for manual adjustments or interventions to mitigate feedback
- Improves the effectiveness of communication systems in various settings
Original Abstract Submitted
disclosed is a method for managing acoustic feedback in real-time audio communications in a communications system, the method comprising determining, by means of a detection module, whether a first communication device is in loudspeaker mode, whether the first communication device is in real-time audio communications with a second communication, and whether the first communication device and the second communication device are in a same acoustic space. upon determining that this is the case a request signal for requesting one or more measures against acoustic feedback is provided to a mitigation module. further disclosed are a device and a system configured to perform the method, a non-transitory computer-readable medium, an encoder and a decoder.
