Abstract
A noise cancellation system comprising an audio identification unit configured to identify audio to which a noise cancellation process is to be applied, an output generation unit configured to generate one or more noise cancellation signals in dependence upon the identified audio, and two or more audio output units each configured to reproduce a respective subset of the generated one or more noise cancellation signals, such that the two or more audio output units are configured to produce different outputs.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a device including one or more input elements;
- a microphone communicatively coupled to the device;
- one or more processors communicatively coupled to the device;
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- detecting an input associated with operation of the one or more input elements;
- determining an audio effect associated with the input;
- capturing an audio signal;
- processing the audio signal to result in a processed audio signal, wherein the audio signal is processed based on the audio effect and by performing a noise cancelling function on the audio signal;
- and
- providing the processed audio signal as a response to the input.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that are executable by a device having one or more input elements and a microphone communicatively coupled to the device, wherein the instructions cause the device to perform operations comprising:
- detecting an input associated with operation of the one or more input elements;
- determining an audio effect associated with the input;
- capturing an audio signal;
- processing the audio signal to result in a processed audio signal, wherein the audio signal is processed based on the audio effect and by performing a noise cancelling function on the audio signal;
- and
- providing the processed audio signal as a response to the input.
A computer-implemented method executed by a device having one or more input elements and a microphone communicatively coupled to the device, wherein the computer-implemented method comprises:
- detecting an input associated with operation of the one or more input elements;
- determining an audio effect associated with the input;
- capturing an audio signal;
- processing the audio signal to result in a processed audio signal, wherein the audio signal is processed based on the audio effect and by performing a noise cancelling function on the audio signal;
- and
- providing the processed audio signal as a response to the input.
