Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for context assisted noise reduction are disclosed. In one example, noise data associated with background noise detected by a microphone at a mobile device is received. The noise data is processed to identify whether a threshold noise level has been exceeded. An event notification is transmitted, where the event notification is operable to initiate identifying a location having a reduced background noise.
Claims23
One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having computer-executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by one or more computers, cause the one more computers to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a noise data associated with background noise detected by a microphone at a mobile device;
- processing the noise data to identify that a threshold noise level has been exceeded;
- transmitting an event notification responsive to an identification the threshold noise level has been exceeded, the event notification operable to initiate identifying and reserving a location having a reduced background noise, the location comprising a meeting room;
- and
- outputting a message comprising the location comprising the meeting room at a user interface of the mobile device.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having computer-executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by one or more computers, cause the one more computers to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a plurality of microphone data from a plurality of stationary microphones integrated into a building structure;
- receiving an event notification from a mobile device indicating a threshold noise level has been exceeded;
- identifying responsive to the event notification a location having a reduced noise utilizing the plurality of microphone data from the plurality of stationary microphones integrated into the building structure;
- and
- outputting at a device user interface the location having the reduced noise.
A system comprising:
- a user interface;
- a microphone operable to detect a user speech and a background noise;
- a speaker;
- a network interface;
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories storing one or more application programs executable by the one or more processors, the one or more application programs configured to process the background noise to identify whether a noise level threshold has been exceeded and output a noise level message to an audio device user, wherein the one or more application programs are further configured to transmit an event notification responsive to an identification the noise level threshold has been exceeded, the event notification operable to initiate identifying and reserving a location having a reduced background noise, the location comprising a meeting room, and wherein the one or more application programs are further configured to output a message at the user interface, the message comprising the meeting room.
