摘要： A computer-implemented method dynamically mutes irrelevant sources of noise. The method includes identifying one or more sources of a noise in a vicinity of a listening device, where the listening device is associated with a user and the listening device includes a noise canceling function. The method also includes determining, for the user, a context, where the context represents a subject of a conversation related to the user. The method further includes calculating, for each of the one or more sources of noise, a relevance score. The method includes muting, by the listening device, each of the sources of noise where the associated relevance score is below a relevance threshold.

摘要： A speaker system includes a wearable speaker capable of outputting a first sound which is a voice of a communication partner of a talker and a second sound, a microphone, and a sound processing device which processes a sound output from the wearable speaker and a sound picked up by the microphone. The sound processing device generates a reference signal by synthesizing a first signal indicating the first sound and a second signal indicating the second sound, outputs the first signal and the second signal to the wearable speaker, obtains a sound pickup signal including the voice of the talker from the microphone, performs, on the sound pickup signal, a process of cancelling the sound component output from the wearable speaker by using the reference signal, and outputs the sound pickup signal on which the cancellation process has been performed.

摘要： A controller for an adaptive noise canceling (ANC) system simplifies the design of a stable control response by making the ANC gain of the system independent of a secondary path extending from a transducer of the ANC system to a sensor of the ANC system that measures the ambient noise. The controller includes a fixed filter having a predetermined fixed response, and a variable filter coupled together. The variable response filter compensates for variations of a transfer function of a secondary path that includes at least a path from a transducer of the ANC system to a sensor of the ANC system, so that the ANC gain is independent of the variations in the transfer function of the secondary path.

摘要： A system and method for mitigating audio feedback may calculate a smoothed frequency spectrum of an audio signal. Previously detected candidate feedback tones may be obtained. Candidate feedback tones may be determined responsive to a frequency spectrum of the audio signal, the smoothed frequency spectrum and the previously detected candidate feedback tones. One or more signal characteristics associated with the audio signal and feedback coefficients associated with the candidate feedback tones may be obtained. The feedback coefficients may be modified responsive to the one or more signal characteristics. Actionable feedback tones may be determined responsive to the associated feedback coefficients exceeding a respective feedback threshold. Feedback suppression coefficients associated with each of the determined actionable feedback tones may be generated and may be utilized to suppress the actionable feedback tones.

摘要： A personal audio device, such as a wireless telephone, includes noise canceling that adaptively generates an anti-noise signal from a reference microphone signal and injects the anti-noise signal into the speaker or other transducer output to cause cancellation of ambient audio sounds. An error microphone is provided proximate the speaker to measure the output of the transducer in order to control the adaptation of the anti-noise signal and to estimate an electro-acoustical path from the noise canceling circuit through the transducer. The anti-noise signal is adaptively generated to minimize the ambient audio sounds at the error microphone. A processing circuit that performs the adaptive noise canceling (ANC) function also filters one or both of the reference and/or error microphone signals, to bias the adaptation of the adaptive filter in one or more frequency regions to alter a degree of the minimization of the ambient audio sounds at the error microphone.
