AUDIO COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND METHOD USING FIXED ECHO CANCELLATION FILTER COEFFICIENTS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a first speaker coupled to a downlink;
a first microphone; and
an echo cancellation module configured to filter a first signal on the downlink using a static first set of filter coefficients to generate a second signal, and to generate a third signal based on a difference between the second signal and a fourth signal that is based on sound received by the first microphone.

Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, systems, and software are disclosed for providing a phone or other audio communication device with a fixed-path acoustic echo cancellation feature that compensates for a fixed-path acoustic coupling caused by transmission of sound from one or more speakers to one or more microphones through, for instance, the phone body itself.

22. A method, comprising:
-
sending a first signal to an audio communications device such that the audio communications device generates sound based on the first signal; receiving a second signal that depends upon sound received at a microphone of the audio communications device; determining a set of filter coefficients based on the second signal; and storing the determined filter coefficients in a read-only memory of the audio communications device. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24)

25. An intransient computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions for a computer to perform a method, the method comprising:
-
filtering a first signal on a downlink of an audio communication device using a static first set of filter coefficients to generate a second signal; and generating a third signal based on a difference between the second signal and a fourth signal that is based on sound received by a microphone of the audio communication device. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27)
