SYSTEM FOR ACTIVE NOISE CONTROL WITH AUDIO SIGNAL COMPENSATION
First Claim
13. A method of reducing volume of an undesired sound present in a space comprising:
- generating an input signal representative of the undesired sound present in the space;
removing a portion of the input signal representative of an audio signal; and
generating an anti-noise signal based on the input signal with the portion removed to drive a loudspeaker to produce an audible signal to destructively interfere with the undesired sound.

Abstract
An active noise control system generates an anti-noise signal to drive a speaker to produce sound waves to destructively interfere with an undesired sound in a targeted space. The speaker is also driven to produce sound waves representative of a desired audio signal. Sound waves are detected in the target space and a representative signal is generated. The representative signal is combined with an audio compensation signal to remove a signal component representative of the sound waves based on the desired audio signal and generate an error signal. The active noise control adjusts the anti-noise signal based on the error signal. The active noise control system converts the sample rates of an input signal representative of the undesired sound, the desired audio signal, and the error signal. The active noise control system converts the sample rate of the anti-noise signal.

19. A plurality of instructions stored on a memory device that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
-
sample a first input signal at a first predetermined sample rate, where the first input signal is representative of sound in a target space; sample an audio signal at the first predetermined sample rate to generate a first audio signal; sample the audio signal at 192 kHz to generate a second audio signal; combine the first audio signal with the input signal to generate an error signal; convert the sample rate of the error signal from 192 kHz to the first predetermined sample rate; generate an anti-noise signal based on the error signal; and combine a second audio signal and the anti-noise signal to generate an audio output signal. - View Dependent Claims (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 20, 21, 22)

24. A method of generating a plurality of estimated path filters of an active noise control system comprising:
-
selecting a first physical path present in the active noise control system; selecting a second physical path present in the active noise control system; inputting a first signal through the first physical path to generate a first output signal; inputting the first signal through the second physical path to generate a second output signal; comparing the first signal to the first output signal to generate a first transfer function based on the first physical path; comparing the first signal to the second output signal to generate a second transfer function based on the second physical path; and generating a first estimated path filter based on the first transfer function and a second estimated path filter based on the second transfer function. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28)
