CASCADE AUDIO SPOTTING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240339124 titled 'CASCADE AUDIO SPOTTING SYSTEM
The patent application discusses systems and methods for identifying audio events in audio streams using a cascade audio spotting system to reduce power consumption while maintaining performance.
- The cascade audio spotting system includes a first module and a high-power subsystem.
- The first module processes audio streams to detect a first target sound activity and provides a signal in response.
- The high-power subsystem processes the audio streams to detect a second target sound activity after receiving the signal from the first module.
Potential Applications:
- Audio event detection in security systems
- Speech recognition in smart devices
- Content monitoring in media production
Problems Solved:
- Reducing power consumption in audio event detection systems
- Maintaining performance levels in audio processing tasks
Benefits:
- Improved efficiency in audio event identification
- Cost-effective power usage in audio processing systems
Commercial Applications:
- Security systems for audio event detection
- Smart devices with enhanced speech recognition capabilities
- Media production tools for content monitoring
Questions about Audio Event Identification: 1. How does the cascade audio spotting system improve power efficiency in audio processing?
- The cascade system allows for the detection of target sound activities in stages, reducing the need for continuous high-power processing.
2. What are the key advantages of using a cascade audio spotting system in audio event identification?
- The system helps balance performance and power consumption, making it ideal for various applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
systems and methods for identifying audio events in one or more audio streams include the use of a cascade audio spotting system (such as a cascade keyword spotting system (kws)) to reduce power consumption while maintaining a desired performance. an example cascade audio spotting system may include a first module and a high-power subsystem. the first module is to receive an audio stream from one or more audio streams, process the audio stream to detect a first target sound activity in the audio stream, and provide a first signal in response to detecting the first target sound activity in the audio stream. the high-power subsystem is to (in response to the first signal being provided by the first module) receive the one or more audio streams and process the one or more audio streams to detect a second target sound activity in the one or more audio streams.
