Abstract

See full text

A method and a system use an intermediate server to process the communication between two parties, so as to eliminate echoes between them. The server performs echo cancellation in a network-based voice communication system handling a large number of conversations. In one implementation, the server allocates two echo cancellation modules to each conversation, with each echo cancellation module including (a) a communication interface for communicating with a client program associated with the echo cancellation module; (b) a first buffer for storing audio data received from the client program for transmission to another echo cancellation module; (c) a second buffer for storing audio data received from the other echo cancellation module for transmitting to the associated client program; and (d) a set of filters using the audio data in both the first buffer and the second buffer to cancel echoes in the audio data in the second buffer.
