Appl. No.:

17/654539

Inventors:

- Niles IL, US
Mathew T. Abraham - Colorado Springs CO, US
Paul Gunia - Chicago IL, US
John Casey Gibbs - Chicago IL, US
Lucas Brant Farran - Lake Zurich IL, US

International Classification:

G10L 21/0232
G06F 3/16
G06F 21/60
H04L 7/00
H04L 43/08
H04R 1/40
H04R 3/00
H04R 3/12

Abstract:

A software-based conferencing platform is provided. The platform comprises a plurality of audio sources providing input audio signals, the audio sources including a virtual audio device driver configured to receive far-end input audio signals from a conferencing software module, and a network audio library configured to receive near-end input audio signals from one or more near-end audio devices. The platform further comprises a digital signal processing component configured to receive the input audio signals from the audio sources and generate audio output signals based the received signals, the digital signal processing component comprising an acoustic echo cancellation module configured to apply acoustic echo cancellation techniques to one or more of the near-end input audio signals.

Inventors:

- Niles IL, US
Mathew T. Abraham - Colorado Springs CO, US
John Casey Gibbs - Chicago IL, US

International Classification:

H04M 9/08
G10L 21/0208
H04M 3/56
G10L 21/02
G10L 21/0232

Abstract:

Acoustic echo cancellation systems and methods are provided that can cancel and suppress acoustic echo from the output of a mixer that has mixed audio signals from a plurality of acoustic sources, such as microphones. The microphones may have captured speech and sound from a remote location or far end, such as in a conferencing environment. The acoustic echo cancellation may generate an echo-cancelled mixed audio signal based on a mixed audio signal from a mixer, information gathered from the audio signal from each of the plurality of acoustic sources, and a remote audio signal. The systems and methods may be computationally efficient and resource-friendly.
