SPEAKER-IDENTIFICATION-ASSISTED DOWNLINK SPEECH PROCESSING SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for performing speaker-identification-assisted speech processing in a downlink path of a communication device. In accordance with certain embodiments, a communication device includes speaker identification (SID) logic that is configured to identify the identity of a far-end speaker participating in a voice call with a user of the communication device. Knowledge of the identity of the far-end speaker is then used to improve the performance of one or more downlink speech processing algorithms implemented on the communication device.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by one or more speech signal processing stages in a downlink path of a communication device, speaker identification information that identifies a target speaker; and processing, by each of the one or more speech signal processing stages, a respective version of a speech signal in a manner that takes into account the identity of the target speaker, wherein the one or more speech signal processing stages include at least one of: a joint source channel decoding stage, a bit error concealment stage, a packet loss concealment stage, a noise suppression stage, a speech intelligibility enhancement stage, an acoustic shock protection stage, and a three-dimensional (3D) audio production stage.
