Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
At a processing device, a first signal from a first microphone and a second signal from a second microphone are received. The first signal indicates whether a voice signal has been determined at the first microphone, and the second signal indicates whether a voice signal has been determined at the second microphone. When the first signal indicates potential voice activity or the second signal indicates potential voice activity, the processing device is activated to receive data and the data is examined for a trigger word. When the trigger word is found, a signal is sent to an application processor to further process information from one or more of the first microphone and the second microphone. When no trigger word is found, the processing device is reset to deactivate data input and allowing the first microphone and the second microphone to enter or maintain an event detection mode of operation.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: at a processing device, receiving a first signal from a first microphone and a second signal from a second microphone, the first signal affirmatively and without further processing indicating whether a voice signal has been determined by a first VAD module at the first microphone, and the second signal affirmatively and without further processing indicating whether a voice signal has been determined by a second VAD module at the second…
