Abstract
A Device Echo Cancellation system and process are disclosed. According to one embodiment, the present invention comprises an input audio source that is converted to a digital signal via a PCM convertor where the amplitude of the input audio source is sampled at regular intervals and translated into digital PCM audio. The resulting PCM audio is analyzed for its dynamic and harmonic content. Corrective sound waves are then generated that reduce the repetition of the original audio (echoes). The corrective sound waves are applied to the repeating audio echoes to create corrected sound waves. The corrected audio is then outputted from the system. The analyzing step of the Device Echo Cancellation process of the present invention comprises performing an evaluation of the PCM audio for dynamic and harmonic content; identifying repetitive harmonic content (echoes) of the PCM audio; determining a scale based on the ratio of the amplitude of the first repeat harmonic to the amplitude of the input PCM audio; generating sound waves with descending amplitude levels according to the determined scale; and phase shifting the newly generated sound waves to generate corrective sound waves. The phase shift of the inventive Device Echo Cancellation process is 90 to 180 degrees.
