Abstract
An apparatus including circuitry configured to: enable a conversational service between a first user of the apparatus and a second user of a remote apparatus wherein the conversational service is a duplex service including simultaneous voice communication from the first user to the second user and voice communication from the second user to the first user; and enable synchronization of a switch to using an active noise cancellation mode at the apparatus for the conversational service and at the remote apparatus for the conversational service, wherein the switch to using the noise cancellation mode is synchronized between the first and second users.
Claims14
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
- enable a conversational service between a first user of the apparatus and a second user of a remote apparatus, wherein the conversational service is a duplex service comprising simultaneous voice communication from the first user to the second user and voice communication from the second user to the first user;
- and
- enable synchronization of a switch to using an active noise cancellation mode at the apparatus and at the remote apparatus, wherein the switch to using the active noise cancellation mode is synchronized between the first and second users,
- wherein the instructions, when executed with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to enable synchronization of the switch between using a pass-through mode to using the active noise cancellation mode at the apparatus and at the remote apparatus, and
- wherein the switch between using the pass-through mode to using the active noise cancellation mode is synchronized between the first and second users.
A non-transitory program storage device readable by an apparatus, tangibly embodying a computer program that, when run on one or more processors, causes:
- enabling a conversational service between a first user of the apparatus and a second user of a remote apparatus wherein the conversational service is a duplex service comprising simultaneous voice communication from the first user to the second user and voice communication from the second user to the first user;
- and
- enabling synchronization of a switch to using an active noise cancellation mode at the apparatus and at the remote apparatus, wherein the switch to using the noise cancellation mode is synchronized between the first and second users,
- wherein the instructions, when executed with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to enable synchronization of the switch between using a pass-through mode to using the active noise cancellation mode at the apparatus and at the remote apparatus, and
- wherein the switch between using the pass-through mode to using the active noise cancellation mode is synchronized between the first and second users.
A method comprising:
- enabling a conversational service between a first user of the apparatus and a second user of a remote apparatus wherein the conversational service is a duplex service comprising simultaneous voice communication from the first user to the second user and voice communication from the second user to the first user;
- and
- enabling synchronization of a switch to using an active noise cancellation mode at the apparatus and at the remote apparatus, wherein the switch to using the noise cancellation mode is synchronized between the first and second users,
- wherein the instructions, when executed with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to enable synchronization of the switch between using a pass-through mode to using the active noise cancellation mode at the apparatus and at the remote apparatus, and
- wherein the switch between using the pass-through mode to using the active noise cancellation mode is synchronized between the first and second users.
