Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods are described for modifying one of far-end signal playback and capture of local audio on an audio device. Frames of both a far-end audio stream and a near-end audio stream may be analyzed using a measure of voice activity, the analyzing producing voice data associated with each frame. Based on the voice data, a conference state may be determined, and one of playback of the far-end audio stream and capture of local audio on an audio device may be modified based on the determined conference state. By associating the likely intent with a predefined state, the device may further cull or remove unwanted or unlikely content from the device input and output. This may have a substantial advantage in allowing for full duplex operation in the case of more meaningful and continuing voice activity, particularly in the case where there are many connected endpoints.
