AUDIO FENCING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240296821 titled 'AUDIO FENCING SYSTEM AND METHOD
The abstract describes a system and method for deploying multiple microphones to capture audio signals from different sources and locations, while removing off-axis noise using a processor.
- The system uses at least one microphone to capture audio signals from a first location and a second location.
- The first microphone lobe captures audio signals from a first audio source within its pick-up region.
- The second microphone lobe captures audio signals from a second audio source outside the first pick-up region.
- A processor removes off-axis noise from the first audio signals by applying a mask based on the second audio signals.
Potential Applications: - Audio recording in noisy environments - Speech recognition systems - Conference call systems
Problems Solved: - Eliminating off-axis noise in audio recordings - Improving audio quality in multi-source environments
Benefits: - Enhanced audio signal clarity - Improved accuracy in audio processing - Better user experience in audio applications
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Noise Reduction System for Audio Devices This technology can be used in: - Smart speakers - Video conferencing systems - Surveillance systems
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this system differentiate between audio signals from different sources? 2. What is the impact of removing off-axis noise on the overall audio quality?
Original Abstract Submitted
systems and methods are provided herein for deploying, using at least one microphone, a first microphone lobe towards a first location, the first microphone lobe configured to capture one or more first audio signals from a first audio source located within a first audio pick-up region; deploying, using the at least one microphone, a second microphone lobe towards a second location, the second microphone lobe configured to capture one or more second audio signals from a second audio source located outside the first audio pick-up region; and removing, using at least one processor, off-axis noise from the one or more first audio signals by applying, to the one or more first audio signals, a mask determined based on the one or more second audio signals.
