Abstract:
Embodiments include methods and apparatuses for echo cancelation involving multiple audio channels and the production, sensing, or a combination thereof of multiple audio channels in conferencing systems. A conferencing apparatus with a plurality of speakers configured to generate outgoing acoustic waves responsive to a multi-channel audio signal. One or more microphones are configured to sense incoming acoustic waves from the plurality of speakers and from locally produced acoustic waves from a participant of a conference to generate one or more incoming audio signals. A processor is operably coupled to the plurality of speakers and the one or more microphones. The processor is configured to perform acoustic echo cancelation on the one or more incoming audio signals relative to at least two different channels of the multi-channel audio signal.

Abstract:
Voice over internet protocol (VoIP) devices and conferencing systems may include a spatial encoder associated with a first endpoint and a spatial renderer associated with a second endpoint. The spatial renderer may configured to receive audio data. The audio data may be rendered among a plurality of speakers based on a first set of spatial information for a plurality of microphones associated with the first endpoint, and a second set of spatial information for the plurality of speakers associated with the second endpoint. A method for generating a sound field may include determining spatial information for a plurality of microphones in a local room, determining spatial information for a plurality of speakers in a remote room, mapping the spatial information for the plurality of microphones and the spatial information for the plurality of speakers, and generating a sound field in the remote room based on the mapping.

Abstract:
A unified communications (UC) device may comprise a processor configured to enable audio communication between a plurality of different UC clients according to a UC bridging software architecture, the plurality of different UC clients having different communication formatting requirements. A computer readable medium may have instructions stored thereon, that when executed by a processor cause the processor to: translate a first client specific command for a first UC client to a second client specific command for a second UC client; and bridge audio from the first UC client and the second UC client. Another embodiment includes a related UC method. The method comprises bridging audio from a plurality of different UC clients having different communicating formatting requirements, and enabling commands to be communicated between the plurality of different UC clients by translating commands between the plurality of different UC clients.
