Jan 20, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/690827
Inventors:
Jason Flaks - Redmond WA, US
Ivan Tashev - Kirkland WA, US
Duncan McKay - Woodinville WA, US
Xudong Ni - Woodinville WA, US
Robert Heitkamp - Sammamish WA, US
Wei Guo - Sammamish WA, US
John Tardif - Sammamish WA, US
Leo Shing - Redmond WA, US
Michael Baseflug - Duvall WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G10L 11/00
G10L 21/02
G10L 21/00
US Classification:
704227, 37940603, 381302, 704200, 704231, 704270
Abstract:
A device for suppressing ambient sounds from speech received by a microphone array is provided. One embodiment of the device comprises a microphone array, a processor, an analog-to-digital converter, and memory comprising instructions stored therein that are executable by the processor. The instructions stored in the memory are configured to receive a plurality of digital sound signals, each digital sound signal based on an analog sound signal originating at the microphone array, receive a multi-channel speaker signal, generate a monophonic approximation signal of the multi-channel speaker signal, apply a linear acoustic echo canceller to suppress a first ambient sound portion of each digital sound signal, generate a combined directionally-adaptive sound signal from a combination of each digital sound signal by a combination of time-invariant and adaptive beamforming techniques, and apply one or more nonlinear noise suppression techniques to suppress a second ambient sound portion of the combined directionally-adaptive sound signal.

US Patent:
20120271632, Oct 25, 2012
Filed:
Apr 25, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/093680
Inventors:
Hoang T. Do - San Francisco CA, US
Ivan J. Tashev - Kirkland WA, US
Alejandro Acero - Bellevue WA, US
Jason S. Flaks - Redmond WA, US
Robert N. Heitkamp - Sammamish WA, US
Molly R. Suver - Seattle WA, US
Assignee:
MICROSOFT CORPORATION - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G10L 15/00
US Classification:
704246, 704E15001
Abstract:
Speaker identification techniques are described. In one or more implementations, sample data is received at a computing device of one or more user utterances captured using a microphone. The sample data is processed by the computing device to identify a speaker of the one or more user utterances. The processing involving use of a feature set that includes features obtained using a filterbank having filters that space linearly at higher frequencies and logarithmically at lower frequencies, respectively, features that model the speaker's vocal tract transfer function, and features that indicate a vibration rate of vocal folds of the speaker of the sample data.

Mix Buffers And Command Queues For Audio Blocks

View page
US Patent:
20130212341, Aug 15, 2013
Filed:
Feb 13, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/766128
Inventors:
MICROSOFT CORPORATION - , US
Brian Lloyd Schmidt - Bellevue WA, US
Sunil Kumar Vemula - Sunnyvale CA, US
Robert N. Heitkamp - Sammamish WA, US
Assignee:
MICROSOFT CORPORATION - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06F 12/00
US Classification:
711154
Abstract:
The subject disclosure is directed towards a technology that may be used in an audio processing environment. Nodes of an audio flow graph are associated with virtual mix buffers. As the flow graph is processed, commands and virtual mix buffer data are provided to audio fixed-function processing blocks. Each virtual mix buffer is mapped to a physical mix buffer, and the associated command is executed with respect to the physical mix buffer. One physical mix buffer mix buffer may be used as an input data buffer for the audio fixed-function processing block, and another physical mix buffer as an output data buffer, for example.

Frame Coding For Spatial Audio Data

View page
US Patent:
20200126569, Apr 23, 2020
Filed:
Dec 17, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/718114
Inventors:
- Redmond WA, US
Philip Andrew EDRY - Seattle WA, US
Ziyad IBRAHIM - Redmond WA, US
Robert Norman HEITKAMP - Sammamish WA, US
Steven WILSSENS - Kenmore WA, US
International Classification:
G10L 19/008
H04S 3/00
H04S 7/00
Abstract:
The techniques disclosed herein provide apparatuses and related methods for the communication of spatial audio and related metadata. In some implementations, a source provides prerecorded spatial audio that has embedded metadata. A computing device processes the prerecorded spatial audio to generate an audio codec that is segmented to include a first section of audio data and a second section that includes metadata extracted from the prerecorded spatial audio. The generated audio codec may be received by a device that includes an encoder. The encoder may process the generated audio codec to generate audio data that includes the metadata.

Game Streaming With Spatial Audio

US Patent:
20190069120, Feb 28, 2019
Filed:
Oct 30, 2018
Appl. No.:
16/175176
Inventors:
- Redmond WA, US
Todd R. MANION - Seattle WA, US
Robert N. HEITKAMP - Sammamish WA, US
Steven WILSSENS - Kenmore WA, US
Philip A. EDRY - Seattle WA, US
International Classification:
H04S 7/00
G10L 19/16
A63F 13/28
Abstract:
A game engine may generate video and audio content on a per-frame basis. Audio data corresponding to a current frame may be generated to comprise sound-field information independent of a speaker configuration or spatialization technology that may be used to play the associated audio. The sound-field may be generated based on monaural audio data corresponding to a sound produced by an in-game object at the object's position as of the current frame. The sound-field information may be transmitted to a remote computing device for reproduction using a selected, available speaker configuration and spatialization technology.

Remote Personalization Of Audio

View page
US Patent:
20180352359, Dec 6, 2018
Filed:
May 31, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/610543
Inventors:
- Redmond WA, US
Todd Ryun MANION - Seattle WA, US
Steven Marcel Elza WILSSENS - Kenmore WA, US
Robert Norman HEITKAMP - Sammamish WA, US
International Classification:
H04S 7/00
H04L 29/08
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a number of techniques for personalization of audio for communication to an endpoint device. According to one technique, a cloud-based computing device may receive media data from a media platform, and generate depersonalized audio data based on the media data, the depersonalized audio data including at least one audio component associated with the media platform. The technique may further generate user personalized audio data based on the depersonalized audio data. The user personalized audio data may include at least one audio component personalized based on a unique head-related transfer function (HRTF) data associated with a user or default HRTF data. The user personalized audio may be communicated to the endpoint device for consumption by the user. Such techniques reduce the need for advanced audio processing technologies on client systems and makes personalized audio more available to users.
