Abstract
In one embodiment, a method and apparatus for processing an audio signal are provided. In one example of the invention, an audio signal is received. The audio signal is analyzed to determine an interference level of the audio signal relative to a threshold interference level. Then the audio signal is processed with a lower quality codec or a higher quality codec responsive to the determination of the interference level of the audio signal relative to the threshold interference level.
Claims19
A method for processing an audio signal, the method comprising:
- receiving an audio signal;
- determining an interference level of the audio signal relative to a threshold interference level;
- and
- processing the audio signal with a lower quality codec or a higher quality codec responsive to the determination of the interference level of the audio signal relative to the threshold interference level.
A computer readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform a method for processing an audio signal, comprising:
- receiving an audio signal;
- determining an interference level of the audio signal relative to a threshold interference level;
- and
- processing the audio signal with a lower quality codec or a higher quality codec responsive to the determination of the interference level of the audio signal relative to the threshold interference level.
An apparatus for processing an audio signal comprising:
- a receiving mechanism for receiving an audio signal;
- a classifying processor for determining an interference level of the audio signal relative to a threshold interference level;
- and
- a signal processor for processing the audio signal with a lower quality codec or a higher quality codec responsive to the determination of the interference level of the audio signal relative to the threshold interference level.
