Patent ID: 10979100

Abstract:
Multi-channel audio signal processing includes receiving a left stereo audio signal from a first channel and a right stereo audio signal from a second channel; up-mixing the left and the right stereo audio signals to generate an up-mixed audio signal for a third channel; de-correlating the up-mixed audio signal from the left and the right stereo audio signals to generate a de-correlated up-mixed audio signal; providing the left and right stereo signals and the de-correlated up-mixed audio signal to first, second, and third loudspeakers respectively to generate first, second, and third sound signals, respectively; picking up the first, second and third sound signals with a microphone to generate a microphone output signal; and adaptively filtering the microphone output signal with an acoustic echo canceller based on the left, the right, and the de-correlated up-mixed audio signal to generate an echo compensated microphone signal.
