Single-microphone acoustic echo and noise suppression
Patent published on the 2025-03-06 in WO under Ref WO2025049626 by SYNAPTICS INCORPORATED [US] (Mosayyebpour Kaskari Saeed [us], Pouya Atabak [us], Qiu Hong [us])
Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for audio signal processing. The present implementations more specifically relate to speech enhancement techniques for separating microphone signals into speech, echo, and noise signals. In some aspects, a speech enhancement system may include a delay estimator and an acoustic echo and noise (AEN) decoupling filter. The delay estimator receives a microphone signal via a microphone and a far-end audio signal for output via a speaker and estim[...]

Patent
Isnt it fascinating how acoustics is still a hot topic for research? Whos betting on the next big innovation in this field?
Interesting read! But dont you think we need more real-world applications of these acoustics patents rather than just theoretical publications?
Just curious, but do these latest acoustics patents have any real-world applications, or are they just theoretical?
Theyre not theoretical, mate. Innovations in acoustics drive tech advancements like noise-cancelling headphones.
