Voice Modification Component Accent Normalization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current telecommunications networks face challenges in enhancing voice call clarity and user experience, particularly in understanding accents and background noise, which can hinder effective communication.
Innovation Solution
A voice modification component processes voice signals in real-time to normalize accents, remove background noise, and apply aesthetic modifications, using a combination of speech interpretation, dialect analysis, and filtering techniques, which can be controlled by users and implemented within the network or on devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If voice calls are transmitted through telecommunications networks, then communication between users is enabled, but voice clarity and understandability deteriorate due to accents and background noise
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes harmful components (background noise, accent variations) from the voice signal through filtering and processing techniques, isolating the core speech content to improve clarity for the receiving end
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces voice modification components as intermediaries within the telecommunications network that process and normalize voice signals between caller and callee, acting as a mediator to enhance understandability without requiring changes to the underlying network infrastructure
2Reliability
If voice modification components are added to enhance voice clarity, then voice understandability improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs voice modification components that can perform multiple functions (noise filtering, accent normalization, voice enhancement) within a single integrated system, reducing overall complexity compared to separate specialized components
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adjusts processing parameters dynamically based on detected voice characteristics and network conditions, allowing the system to adapt to different scenarios without requiring complex reconfiguration, thereby maintaining simplicity while improving understandability

AI summary
Voice calls may be filtered and/or modified to enhance the clarity of a speaker's voice. In one implementation, a device may receive an indication, from a caller associated with a call, that speech of the caller is to be modified to deemphasize an accent of the caller. The device may modify, based on the received indication, the speech of the caller to deemphasize the accent of the caller and transmit the modified speech to a callee associated with the call.
