    摘要: Systems and methods for stereo separation and directional suppression are provided. An example method includes receiving a first audio signal, representing sound captured by a first microphone associated with a first location, and a second audio signal, representing sound captured by a second microphone associated with a second location. The microphones comprise omni-directional microphones. The distance between the first and second microphones is limited by the size of a mobile device. A first channel signal of a stereo signal is generated by forming, based on the first and second audio signals, a first beam at the first location. A second channel signal of the stereo signal is generated by forming, based on the first and second audio signals, a second beam at the second location. First and second directions, associated respectively with the first and second beams, are fixed relative to a line between the first and second locations.

    摘要: Systems and methods for multi-sourced noise suppression are provided. An example system may receive streams of audio data including a voice signal and noise, the voice signal including a spoken word. The streams of audio data are provided by distributed audio devices. The system can assign weights to the audio streams based at least partially on quality of the audio streams. The weights of audio streams can be determined based on signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). The system may further process, based on the weights, the audio stream to generate cleaned speech. Each audio device comprises microphone(s) and can be associated with the Internet of Things (IoT), such that the audio devices are Internet of Things devices. The processing can include noise suppression and reduction and echo cancellation. The cleaned speech can be provided to a remote device for further processing which may include Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR).

    摘要: A device includes a substrate, strain gauges, and a controller coupled to the strain gauges. The substrate has a front surface and an opposing rear surface, the front surface including a button representation and the rear surface including a button area corresponding to the button representation. The strain gauges are mounted on the rear surface in proximity to the button area. The controller receives information indicating multiple electrical signal amplitudes, each of the electrical signal amplitudes corresponding to one strain gauge of the plurality of strain gauges, each electrical signal amplitude representing an amount of deformation of the corresponding strain gauge. The controller estimates a location of a pressure applied and/or the magnitude of force applied on the front surface of the substrate based on the received information. The controller also can receive location information of multiple user presses from a separate set of sensors.
