Abstract:
According to one embodiment, in response to a first acoustic signal output, a second acoustic signal is input. A filter unit is configured to generate a third acoustic signal by convoluting the first acoustic signal with coefficients. A subtraction unit is configured to generate a fourth acoustic signal by subtracting the third acoustic signal from the second acoustic signal. An estimation unit is configured to decide whether a sound volume of the first acoustic signal is below a predetermined threshold, and to set a sound volume of the second acoustic signal as a non-echo sound level when the sound volume of the first acoustic signal is below the predetermined threshold. A determination unit is configured to determine a step size to correct the coefficients using the non-echo sound level. A correction unit is configured to correct the coefficients using the step size.
