    摘要: Techniques are described for reducing sensitivity to non-acoustic stimuli. In some embodiments, differential beamforming is applied to microphone signals generated based on responses of microphones to an acoustic stimulus and a non-acoustic stimulus. Compensated signals can be generated based on the microphone signals such that the compensated signals are in phase with respect to the acoustic stimulus. The non-acoustic stimulus is detectable by comparing a first signal to a second signal to determine that one signal has a greater instantaneous magnitude. The first signal can be a beamformed signal or signal derived therefrom, and the second signal can be an average of the compensated signals or signal derived therefrom. An output audio signal can be generated by switching or cross fading between the beamformed signal and a noise-reduced signal such that a contribution of the noise-reduced signal is increased and a contribution of the beamformed signal is decreased.

    摘要: A method, system, and computer-readable storage medium that receive a first audio signal generated by a first microphone of a plurality of microphones having a sound inlet, detect an acoustic disturbance in the received first audio signal, the detected acoustic disturbance in the received first audio signal resulting from a tactile interaction proximate the sound inlet of the first microphone, determine whether the detected acoustic disturbance correlates to a pre-defined acoustic signature, and generate, based upon determining that the detected acoustic disturbance correlates to the pre-defined acoustic signature, a control signal corresponding to the pre-defined acoustic signature, the generated control signal controlling one or more of a plurality of speakers of an in-vehicle communication system.

    摘要: A mobile telephone integration system including an adapter having a main body and a clip which, from an edge of the main body, projects, in a clamping position under prestress in the direction of the bearing surface, over the bearing surface such that a mobile telephone can be pushed into a holding position between a free end of the clip and the bearing surface. A noise-generating means generates a warning noise when the clip is deflected in the opening direction into an overload position by virtue of a rotation process in which the clip is moved out of its release position owing to an increased action of force in the opening direction. The clip pivots back into the release position again by virtue of a return rotation process in which the clip is moved from its overload position owing to an action of force in the closing direction.

    摘要: A microphone assembly for exterior use on vehicles having a housing base including at least one compartment, a PCBA (printed circuit board assembly) with at least one acoustic membrane, a sealing cover to at least partially overlap with the compartment is disclosed. The sealing cover has at least one opening with said opening at least partially aligned with said acoustic membrane. The assembly has a housing cover including a first grid at least partially aligned with said opening in the sealing cover, and a shielding cover. The shielding cover has a second grid at least partially aligned with said opening in the sealing cover. The first grid and the second grid are aligned in offset in order to provide a labyrinth path without straight passthrough passages from the exterior of the microphone assembly to the acoustic membrane.

    摘要: Techniques are described for detecting a conversation between at least two people, and for reducing noise during the conversation. In certain embodiments, at least one speech metric is generated based on spectral analysis of an audio signal and is used to determine that the audio signal represents speech from a first person. Responsive to determining that the speech is part of a conversation between the first person and a second person an operating state of a device in a physical environment is adjusted such that a volume level of sound contributed by or associated with the device is reduced. The sound contributed by or associated with the device corresponds to noise, at least for the duration of the conversation. Therefore, reducing the volume level of sound contributed by or associated with the device reduces the overall noise level in the environment, resulting in a reduction in conversational effort.
