Abstract
The disclosure provides an audio processing device comprising a first filter and a second filter. The first filter is configured to generate a first filtered signal based on an error signal, the error signal representative of audible sound at a target space. The second filter is configured to generate a second filtered signal based on the error signal. An anti-noise signal is generated based on the first filtered signal and the second filtered signal, and the anti-noise signal is included in the error signal. The first filter is connected to the second filter in parallel.
Claims10
An audio processing device, comprising:
- a first active noise cancellation (ANC) filter, configured to generate a first anti-noise signal by applying only a time domain filtering to a full band of an error signal during an ANC period, the error signal is representative of audible sound at a target space;
- and
- a second ANC filter, configured to generate a second anti-noise signal by applying only the time domain filtering to the full band of the error signal during the ANC period,
- wherein the first and second anti-noise signals are each simultaneously converted into an acoustic anti-noise signal to cancel environmental noise, or the first and second anti-noise signals in combination are converted into the acoustic anti-noise signal to cancel environmental noise,
- wherein the acoustic anti-noise signal is included in the error signal, and wherein the first ANC filter is connected to the second ANC filter in parallel,
- wherein the first ANC filter and the second ANC filter are independent of each other, and
- wherein the ANC period excludes a transition period in which both the first ANC filter and the second ANC filter temporarily generate the first anti-noise signal and the second anti-noise signal prior to only one of the first ANC filter and the second ANC filter generating the corresponding one of the first anti-noise signal and the second anti-noise signal.
