Abstract
A speakerphone system is provide, comprising: at least one mechanical vibration sensor (MVS) adapted to convert mechanical vibrations in a speakerphone enclosure (enclosure) to a mechanical vibration error signal, and output the same as an MVS output signal; at least one microphone (mic) adapted to convert an input sound acoustic signal into an input sound electrical signal and to output the same as a mic output signal; and circuitry adapted to subtract the MVS output signal from the mic output signal and output the resultant signal as a speakerphone output signal.

A speakerphone system (system) comprising:
- at least one mechanical vibration sensor (MVS) adapted to convert mechanical vibrations in a speakerphone enclosure (enclosure) to a mechanical vibration error signal, and output the same as an MVS output signal;
- at least one microphone (mic) adapted to convert an input sound acoustic signal into an input sound electrical signal and to output the same as a mic output signal;
- and
- circuitry adapted to subtract the MVS output signal from the mic output signal and output the resultant signal as a speakerphone output signal, wherein the circuitry comprises:
- a first receiver adapted to receive the output of the MVS;
- a second receiver adapted to receive the output of the mic;
- and
- additional circuitry adapted to perform the subtraction of the MVS output signal from the mic output signal, and wherein the first receiver comprises:
- a first analog signal line receiver adapted to receive the output of the MVS;
- an amplifier adapted to amplify substantially only audio frequency signals;
- and
- a filter adapted to pass substantially only audio frequency signals, and wherein the second receiver comprises:
- a second analog signal line receiver adapted to receive the output of the mic;
- an amplifier adapted to amplify substantially only audio frequency signals;
- and
- a filter adapted to pass substantially only audio frequency signals.
