Device and method for adjusting speech intelligibility at an audio device
First Claim
1. A device comprising:
- a microphone;
a transmitter; and
a controller having access to a memory storing a plurality of preconfigured voice tags associated with respective noise levels, each of the plurality of preconfigured voice tags comprising a respective voice recording of a given user,the controller configured to;
determine a noise level at the microphone;
select a voice tag, of the plurality of preconfigured voice tags, based on the noise-level;
determine an intelligibility rating of a mix of the voice tag and noise received at the microphone; and
when the intelligibility rating is below a threshold intelligibility rating, enhance speech from the given user received at the microphone based on the intelligibility rating prior to transmitting, at the transmitter, a signal representing intelligibility enhanced speech.

Abstract
A device and method for adjusting speech intelligibility at an audio device is provided. The device comprises a microphone, a transmitter and a controller. The controller is configured to: determine a noise level at the microphone; select a voice tag, of a plurality of voice tags, based on the noise level, each of the plurality of voice tags associated with respective noise levels; determine an intelligibility rating of a mix of the voice tag and noise received at the microphone; and when the intelligibility rating is below a threshold intelligibility rating, enhance speech received the microphone based on the intelligibility rating prior to transmitting, at the transmitter, a signal representing intelligibility enhanced speech.

10. A method comprising:
-
determining, at a controller of a device, a noise level at a microphone of the device; selecting, at the controller, a voice tag, of a plurality of preconfigured voice tags, based on the noise level, each of the plurality of preconfigured voice tags associated with respective noise levels, the plurality of preconfigured voice tags stored at a memory accessible to the controller, each of the plurality of preconfigured voice tags comprising a respective voice recording of a given user; determining, at the controller, an intelligibility rating of a mix of the voice tag and noise received at the microphone; and when the intelligibility rating is below a threshold intelligibility rating, enhancing, using the controller, speech of the given user received the microphone based on the intelligibility rating prior to transmitting, at a transmitter of the device, a signal representing intelligibility enhanced speech. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20)
