    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: A method of scaling polyphony can include identifying music data to be played (415), wherein the music data indicates instruments to be used and each instrument has an assigned priority. A measure of polyphony needed to play the music data can be compared with polyphony of a sound generating device (425). If the measure of polyphony exceeds the polyphony of the sound generating device, the music data can be played without using one or more instruments indicated by the music data according to the assigned priorities (440, 460).

    摘要: Methods for personalized listening which can be used with an earpiece are provided. A method includes capturing ambient sound from an Ambient Sound Microphone (ASM) of an earpiece partially or fully occluded in an ear canal, monitoring the ambient sound for a target sound, and adjusting by way of an Ear Canal Receiver (ECR) in the earpiece a delivery of audio to an ear canal based on a detected target sound. A volume of audio content can be adjusted upon the detection of a target sound, and an audible notification can be presented to provide a warning.

    摘要: A speech filter (108) enhances the loudness of a speech signal by expanding the formant regions of the speech signal beyond a natural bandwidth of the formant regions. The energy level of the speech signal is maintained so that the filtered speech signal contains the same energy as the pre-filtered signal. By expanding the formant regions of the speech signal on a critical band scale corresponding to human hearing, the listener of the speech signal perceives it to be louder even though the signal contains the same energy.
