Name-detection based attention handling in active noise control systems

PCT designated stage expiredWO2025128140A1Sound producing devicesSpeech recognitionControl systemNoise
Automated attention handling techniques are described herein for use with wearable audio components with active noise control (ANC) to suppress ambient sound. A name embedding model is trained automatically to convert name audio samples into acoustic segments based on a knowledge distillation model. The name embedding model is used to generate reference embeddings for each of a user-enrolled set of names, and a relation network and a false rejection network are also trained. In real-time operation, the name embedding model converts real-time audio samples to real-time embeddings, the relation network compared the real-time embeddings to the reference embeddings to look for candidate matches, and the false rejection network validates the candidate matches to detect when one of the user-enrolled names has been invoked. Detecting such an invocation automatically triggers the ANC to switch to a conversation mode.

Speech echo suppression in engine order noise cancellation system

Engine order cancellation (EOC) systems generate feedforward noise signals based on engine or other rotating shaft RPM and use those signals and an adaptively configured W filter to reduce SPL in the vehicle cabin by emitting anti-noise via speakers. An EOC system can include a signal analysis controller for detecting non-stationary events such as speech based on parameters sampled from a current frame of an error signal output from microphones positioned at various locations of a vehicle passenger cabin. Upon detection, the signal analysis controller can mitigate the effects of the non-stationary event to prevent the EOC system from increasing noise or causing a post-echo in the passenger cabin that sounds like speech. For example, if speech is detected in a frame, adaptation can be frozen during the frame. Alternatively, the signal analysis controller can adaptively subtract a speech signal from the error microphone signal.
