Acoustic Voice Activity Detection (Avad) For Electronic Systems

View page
US Patent:
8321213, Nov 27, 2012
Filed:
Oct 26, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/606146
Inventors:
Nicolas Petit - San Francisco CA, US
Gregory Burnett - Dodge Center MN, US
Zhinian Jing - San Francisco CA, US
Assignee:
AliphCom, Inc. - San Francisco CA
International Classification:
G10L 11/06
US Classification:
704208, 704214
Abstract:
Acoustic Voice Activity Detection (AVAD) methods and systems are described. The AVAD methods and systems, including corresponding algorithms or programs, use microphones to generate virtual directional microphones which have very similar noise responses and very dissimilar speech responses. The ratio of the energies of the virtual microphones is then calculated over a given window size and the ratio can then be used with a variety of methods to generate a VAD signal. The virtual microphones can be constructed using either an adaptive or a fixed filter.

Vibration Sensor And Acoustic Voice Activity Detection System (Vads) For Use With Electronic Systems

View page
US Patent:
8503686, Aug 6, 2013
Filed:
May 3, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/772947
Inventors:
Zhinian Jing - Belmont CA, US
Nicolas Petit - Mountain View CA, US
Gregory Burnett - Dodge Center MN, US
Assignee:
AliphCom - San Francisco CA
International Classification:
G10K 11/16
US Classification:
381 711, 381 92, 381 941
Abstract:
A voice activity detector (VAD) combines the use of an acoustic VAD and a vibration sensor VAD as appropriate to the conditions a host device is operated. The VAD includes a first detector receiving a first signal and a second detector receiving a second signal. The VAD includes a first VAD component coupled to the first and second detectors. The first VAD component determines that the first signal corresponds to voiced speech when energy resulting from at least one operation on the first signal exceeds a first threshold. The VAD includes a second VAD component coupled to the second detector. The second VAD component determines that the second signal corresponds to voiced speech when a ratio of a second parameter corresponding to the second signal and a first parameter corresponding to the first signal exceeds a second threshold.

Wireless Conference Call Telephone

US Patent:
20120184337, Jul 19, 2012
Filed:
Jul 15, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/184429
Inventors:
Gregory C. Burnett - Northfield MN, US
Michael Goertz - Redwood City CA, US
Nicolas Jean Petit - Mountain View CA, US
Zhinian Jing - Belmont CA, US
Steven Foster Forestieri - Santa Clara CA, US
Thomas Alan Donaldson - London, GB
International Classification:
H04W 88/00
US Classification:
4555691
Abstract:
A wireless conference call telephone system uses body-worn wired or wireless audio endpoints comprising microphones and, optionally, speakers. These audio-endpoints, which include headsets, pendants, and clip-on microphones to name a few, are used to capture the user's voice and the resulting data may be used to remove echo and environmental acoustic noise. Each audio-endpoint transmits its audio to the telephony gateway, where noise and echo suppression can take place if not already performed on the audio-endpoint, and where each audio-endpoint's output can be labeled, integrated with the output of other audio-endpoints, and transmitted over one or more telephony channels of a telephone network. The noise and echo suppression can also be done on the audio-endpoint. The labeling of each user's output can be used by the outside caller's phone to spatially locate each user in space, increasing intelligibility.

Dynamic Enhancement Of Audio (Dae) In Headset Systems

View page
US Patent:
20120209601, Aug 16, 2012
Filed:
Jan 9, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/374746
Inventors:
Zhinian Jing - Belmont CA, US
International Classification:
G10L 21/02
H03G 3/20
US Classification:
704226, 381 57, 704E21002
Abstract:
Various embodiments relate to signal processing and, more particularly, to processing of received speech signals to preserve and enhance speech intelligibility. In one embodiment, a communications apparatus includes a receiving path over which received speech signals traverse in an audio stream, and an dynamic audio enhancement device disposed in the receiving path. The dynamic audio enhancement (“DAE”) device is configured to modify an amount of volume and an amount of equalization of the audio stream. The DAE device can include a noise level estimator (“NLE”) configured to generate a signal representing a noise level estimate. The noise level estimator can include a non-stationary noise detector and a stationary noise detector. The noise level estimator can be configured to generate the signal representing a first noise level estimate based on detection of the non-stationary noise or a second noise level estimate based on detection of the stationary noise.

US Patent:
20120209603, Aug 16, 2012
Filed:
Jan 9, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/346719
Inventors:
Zhinian Jing - Belmont CA, US
International Classification:
G10L 15/20
G10L 15/00
US Classification:
704233, 704236, 704E15001, 704E15039
Abstract:
Techniques for acoustic voice activity detection (AVAD) is described, including detecting a signal associated with a subband from a microphone, performing an operation on data associated with the signal, the operation generating a value associated with the subband, and determining whether the value distinguishes the signal from noise by using the value to determine a signal-to-noise ratio and comparing the value to a threshold.

Automatic Generation Of Video And Directional Audio From Spherical Content

View page
US Patent:
20190325915, Oct 24, 2019
Filed:
Jun 28, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/456673
Inventors:
- San Mateo CA, US
Zhinian Jing - Belmont CA, US
Timothy Macmillan - La Honda CA, US
David A. Newman - San Diego CA, US
International Classification:
G11B 27/30
H04N 9/82
H04N 9/806
H04N 5/232
H04N 5/77
Abstract:
A spherical content capture system captures spherical video and audio content. In one embodiment, captured metadata or video/audio processing is used to identify content relevant to a particular user based on time and location information. The platform can then generate an output video from one or more shared spherical content files relevant to the user. The output video may include a non-spherical reduced field of view such as those commonly associated with conventional camera systems. Particularly, relevant sub-frames having a reduced field of view may be extracted from each frame of spherical video to generate an output video that tracks a particular individual or object of interest. For each sub-frame, a corresponding portion of an audio track is generated that includes a directional audio signal having a directionality based on the selected sub-frame.
