    摘要: A method for managing an interaction of a calling party to a communication partner is provided. The method includes automatically determining if the communication partner expects DTMF input. The method also includes translating speech input to one or more DTMF tones and communicating the one or more DTMF tones to the communication partner, if the communication partner expects DTMF input.

    摘要: The presentation of location information to a user that is distracted by traveling can result in the user quickly forgetting, or never even comprehending, key parts of the location information, such as the street number. Identification can be made of intersections and points of interest near the user's destination, which can then be provided instead of, or in addition to, the address, thereby increasing user comprehension and retention, especially when distracted. Map data can be parsed into addresses, intersections and points of interest databases. These databases can be accessed to identify proximate intersections and points of interest, which can then be filtered and subsequently ranked to identify one intersection, one point of interest, or both, that can be presented to the user to aid the user in comprehending and retaining the location information even when distracted.

    摘要: A novel adaptive beamforming technique with enhanced noise suppression capability. The technique incorporates the sound-source presence probability into an adaptive blocking matrix. In one embodiment the sound-source presence probability is estimated based on the instantaneous direction of arrival of the input signals and voice activity detection. The technique guarantees robustness to steering vector errors without imposing ad hoc constraints on the adaptive filter coefficients. It can provide good suppression performance for both directional interference signals as well as isotropic ambient noise.

    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed that facilitate real-time information exchange in a multimedia conferencing environment. Data Client(s) facilitate data collaboration between users and are maintained separately from audio/video (AV) Clients that provide real-time communication functionality. Data Clients can be remotely located with respect to one another and with respect to a server. A remote user Stand-in Device can be provided that comprises a display to present a remote user to local users, a digital automatic pan/tilt/zoom camera to capture imagery in, for example, a conference room and provide real-time information to an AV Client in a remote office, and a microphone array that can similarly provide real-time audio information from the conference room to an AV Client in the remote office. The invention further facilitates file transfer and presentation broadcast between Data Clients in a single location or in a plurality of disparate locations.

    摘要: An analog preamplifier measurement system for a microphone array builds on conventional microphone arrays by providing an integral “self-calibration system.” This self-calibration system automatically injects an excitation pulse of a known magnitude and phase to all preamplifier inputs within the microphone array. The resulting analog waveform from each preamplifier output is then measured. A frequency analysis, such as, for example, a Fourier or Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), or other conventional frequency analysis, of each of the resulting waveforms is then performed. The results of this frequency analysis are then used to automatically compute frequency-domain compensation gains (e.g., magnitude and phase gains) for each preamplifier for matching or balancing the responses of all of the preamplifiers with each other.

    摘要: A microphone array having at least three microphones provides a captured signal. Spatial noise suppression estimates a desired signal from a captured signal using spatio-temporal distribution of the speech and the noise. In particular, spatial information indicative of at least two quantities of direction are used. A first quantity is based on a first combination of the signals from the at least three microphones, a second quantity is based on a second combination of the signals of the at least three microphones.

    摘要: Precision and reliability of localization estimates derived from conventional localization systems are improved through a system and method for post-processing of initial localization data, even in environments which may include noise, reflections, or other interference. Such localization systems include conventional sound source localization (SSL) systems based on microphone array inputs, radio source location systems based on directional antenna array inputs, etc. In general, this post-processing system and method applies statistical real-time clustering to initial localization estimates, and then uses this real-time clustering in a multi-stage process to generate new localization estimates having improved precision and reliability relative to the initial localization estimates.
