Noise Profile Determination For Voice-Related Feature

View page
US Patent:
8600743, Dec 3, 2013
Filed:
Jan 6, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/683203
Inventors:
Aram Lindahl - Menlo Park CA, US
Joseph M. Williams - Dallas TX, US
Gints Valdis Klimanis - Sunnyvale CA, US
Assignee:
Apple Inc. - Cupertino CA
International Classification:
G10L 15/20
US Classification:
704233, 704235, 704255
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for noise profile determination for a voice-related feature of an electronic device are provided. In one example, an electronic device capable of such noise profile determination may include a microphone and data processing circuitry. When a voice-related feature of the electronic device is not in use, the microphone may obtain ambient sounds. The data processing circuitry may determine a noise profile based at least in part on the obtained ambient sounds. The noise profile may enable the data processing circuitry to at least partially filter other ambient sounds obtained when the voice-related feature of the electronic device is in use.

US Patent:
20110066438, Mar 17, 2011
Filed:
Sep 15, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/560192
Inventors:
Aram Lindahl - Menlo Park CA, US
Gints Valdis Klimanis - Sunnyvale CA, US
Devang Kalidas Naik - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
APPLE INC. - Cupertino CA
International Classification:
G10L 13/00
H04M 1/64
US Classification:
704258, 379 671
Abstract:
A method for providing voice feedback with playback of media on an electronic device is provided. In one embodiment, the method may include determining one or more characteristics of the media with which the voice feedback is associated. For instance, the media may include a song, and the determined characteristics could include one or more of genre, reverberation, pitch, balance, timbre, tempo, or the like. The method may also include processing the voice feedback to alter characteristics thereof based on the one or more determined characteristics of the associated media. Additional methods, devices, and manufactures are also disclosed.

Processing A Multi-Channel Signal For Output To A Mono Speaker

View page
US Patent:
20110164770, Jul 7, 2011
Filed:
Jan 6, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/683196
Inventors:
Aram Lindahl - Menlo Park CA, US
Joseph M. Williams - Dallas TX, US
Gints Valdis Klimanis - Sunnyvale CA, US
Assignee:
APPLE INC. - Cupertino CA
International Classification:
H04R 5/02
G06F 17/00
US Classification:
381311, 700 94
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for processing an audio signal with two or more channels into a monaural signal are provided. For example, an electronic device configured to perform such techniques may include audio signal processing circuitry, which may receive a first audio channel signal and a second audio channel signal. Based on these signals, the audio signal processing circuitry may output a monaural signal as a sum or a difference of the first and second audio channel signals, or as a combination thereof, depending at least in part on a phase relationship between the first and second audio channel signals. Additionally or alternatively, the audio signal processing circuitry may adjust a timing relationship between the first and second audio channel signals depending at least in part on the phase relationship, before combining a proportion of the first and second audio channel signals.

Apparatus And Method For Acoustic Echo Cancellation With Occluded Voice Sensor

View page
US Patent:
20220366925, Nov 17, 2022
Filed:
May 14, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/321238
Inventors:
- Santa Clara CA, US
Gints Klimanis - Cupertino CA, US
International Classification:
G10L 21/0208
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for auto echo cancellation utilizing an occluded voice sensor. The technology as disclosed and claimed herein and the various implementations and embodiments improves Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) system performance by increasing cancellation quality and speech SNR by the replacement of the lower frequency portion of the microphone signal with the signal of an Occluded Voice Sensor (OVS) signal and never including the spectral band in the transmission. This frequency band replacement excludes the reinjection of that band from the speaker.

Wearable Audio Device Having Improved Output

US Patent:
20220240010, Jul 28, 2022
Filed:
Apr 17, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/722364
Inventors:
- Itasca IL, US
Gints Klimanis - Cupertino CA, US
International Classification:
H04R 3/02
Abstract:
A wearable audio device can include a microphone located to detect atmospheric sound including a user's voice. The device can include an acoustic vibration sensor located to detect sound including the user's voice conducted through the user's body. The device can include a body voice filter coupled to the acoustic vibration sensor. The device can include a filter parameter generator coupled to the acoustic vibration sensor and the body voice filter the filter parameter generator configured to generate parameters for the body voice filter based on a frequency characteristic of a signal obtained from the acoustic vibration sensor. The device can include a composite signal generator coupled to the body voice filter and the microphone and configured to generate a composite voice signal based on a low band signal obtained predominately from the body voice filter and based on a high band signal obtained predominately from the microphone.

Hearing Assistance Device With An Accelerometer

View page
US Patent:
20210037324, Feb 4, 2021
Filed:
Oct 15, 2020
Appl. No.:
17/071918
Inventors:
- San Jose CA, US
Jeffrey Baker - Newbury Park CA, US
Beau Polinske - Minneapolis MN, US
Gints Valdis Klimanis - Cupertino CA, US
International Classification:
H04R 25/00
H04R 1/10
Abstract:
A hearing assistance device is discussed that has one or more accelerometers, a user interface, and optionally a left/right determination module is configured to receive input data from the one or more accelerometers from user actions causing control signals as sensed by the accelerometers to trigger a program change for an audio configuration for the device selected from a group consisting of a change in amplification/volume control, a change in a mute mode, a change of a hear loss profile loaded into that hearing assistance device, and a change in a play-pause mode.

Hearing Assistance Device That Uses One Or More Sensors To Autonomously Change A Power Mode Of The Device
