摘要： Systems, an apparatus, and methods are provided for mitigating noise associated with an audio signal. A system (100) for mitigating noise associated with an audio signal includes an estimator module (108). The estimator module determines an estimated level of noise associated with the audio signal. The system also includes an expander module (110). The expander module causes an attenuation of the audio signal if a level of the audio signal is below a signal threshold. The expander module is adaptively tunable so that the attenuation caused (606) by the expander module is based upon the level of noise estimated (602) by the estimator module.

摘要： A telephone (310) and a method for providing outbound audio when the telephone is operating in a speakerphone mode. A first data unit (350) including a first unit type identifier (360) can be received by the telephone. The first unit type identifier can be an indicator of a type of audio data contained in the first data unit. For instance, the first unit type identifier can indicate whether the audio data is music or non-music audio data. If the first unit type identifier has a first value, for example a value indicating that the audio data is music data, unmuted outbound audio reproduced from the first data unit can be provided and voice activity detection can be disabled. Additionally, inbound audio can be muted.

摘要： The invention concerns a method (300) and system (100) for improving voice quality of a vocoder (138, 158). The method includes the steps of monitoring (312) a pitch of a voice signal (400) at a transmitting unit (110); when the pitch of the voice signal reaches a predetermined threshold (840), shifting (326) the pitch of the voice signal to at least a portion of a predetermined range (810); transmitting (338) the pitch-shifted voice signal to a receiving unit (112); and at the receiving unit, reshifting (342) the pitch-shifted voice signal to a level that compensates the step of shifting the pitch of the voice signal at the transmitting unit.

摘要： The invention provides a cellular telephone or other communications device with intelligence to manage speakerphone operation to more nearly approximate normal conversation, even when using a one-way only transmission mode. The microphone path and speaker path may be continuously monitored using dual voice activity detectors to assess the energy and other characteristics of each channel, and switch between one or the other depending on dynamic criteria. In noisy environments, a hangtime may be applied before permitting switching to avoid premature dropouts. Other criteria used to trigger the seizure of the channel may be adjusted, such as to eliminate a lower threshold below which the speaker path switches out automatically.

摘要： The invention provides a method and system for dynamically estimating background noise. The system includes a portable communication device, a vocoder, and a voice activated detector. Based on information received by the portable communication device, the vocoder determines parameters related to incoming information including a voicing mode indicative of the periodicity of incoming information. The voice activated detector then compares the voicing mode to a threshold to determine whether a background noise estimate should be updated. The method includes the steps of: receiving a periodicity indicator and a current comfort noise level for an incoming voice frame; comparing the periodicity indicator with a predetermined threshold if the current comfort noise level is equal to a previous comfort noise level; and maintaining a background noise estimate if the periodicity indicator exceeds the predetermined threshold and revising a background noise estimate if the periodicity indicator does not exceed the predetermined threshold.

摘要： A speakerphone arbitration method is used to eliminate the effects of echo in imperfect telephone circuits. The method assumes that speech energy received at the speaker phone is an echo, unless the speech energy has characteristics that indicate it is not echo, such as the duration of the speech energy, and the time at which the speech energy is received relative to the time when the user of the speakerphone finishes speaking, or pauses while speaking. The method also may allow arbitration if the speech energy is more energetic than a typical echo, regardless of the duration or time when it is received.

摘要： A mobile communication device (100) includes a vocoder (104) for vocoding speech (500) received at the mobile communication device. The parameters output by the vocoder are used to generate a voicing quality metric (208). The voicing quality metric is used to provide feedback to the user of the mobile communication device by various feedback modalities including visual (114), audible (108), and tactile modalities (118) to indicate when the user should speak louder to overcome ambient noise. The voicing quality metric is also used by other communications equipment (304, 312) to decide if communication activity is needed.

摘要： A hands-free digital push-to-talk device (102) includes a digital background noise suppressor (302), a digital voice activity detector (304), an audio buffer (306), as well as a decision handler (308), embedded inside the device's (102) digital signal processor (222). Audio is buffered until the decision handler (308) determines that speech is present on an audio stream fed to the voice activity detector (304). The decision handler (308) makes the decision by assigning weighted values to each voice activity detector (304) determination, the weighted value varying depending on the state of the device (102) and temporal distance from the present time.

摘要： A sigma delta digital-to-analog (D/A) converter system (10) includes a summing device (35) at an input of a D/A converter (30), and a low frequency low amplitude wave signal (31) injected at an input of the summing device that remains unfiltered and is used to suppress spurious tone artifacts. The D/A converter system can further include an amplitude control and a frequency control for selectively adjusting the frequency and the amplitude of the low frequency low amplitude wave signal being injected. Note, the low frequency low amplitude repeating wave signal generator can take the form of a digital signal processor (DSP) (37) having the appropriate software to generate such signals.
