Abstract: Disclosed is an application interface that takes into account the user's gaze direction relative to who is speaking in an interactive multi-participant environment where audio-based contextual information and/or visual-based semantic information is being presented. Among these various implementations, two different types of microphone array devices (MADs) may be used. The first type of MAD is a steerable microphone array (a.k.a. a steerable array) which is worn by a user in a known orientation with regard to the user's eyes, and wherein multiple users may each wear a steerable array. The second type of MAD is a fixed-location microphone array (a.k.a. a fixed array) which is placed in the same acoustic space as the users (one or more of which are using steerable arrays).

Abstract: A personalized (i.e., speaker-derivable) bandwidth extension is provided in which the model used for bandwidth extension is personalized (e.g., tailored) to each specific user. A training phase is performed to generate a bandwidth extension model that is personalized to a user. The model may be subsequently used in a bandwidth extension phase during a phone call involving the user. The bandwidth extension phase, using the personalized bandwidth extension model, will be activated when a higher band (e.g., wideband) is not available and the call is taking place on a lower band (e.g., narrowband).

Abstract: A method for signal level matching by an electronic device is described. The method includes capturing a plurality of audio signals from a plurality of microphones. The method also includes determining a difference signal based on an inter-microphone subtraction. The difference signal includes multiple harmonics. The method also includes determining whether a harmonicity of the difference signal exceeds a harmonicity threshold. The method also includes preserving the harmonics to determine an envelope. The method further applies the envelope to a noise-suppressed signal.
