Patent ID: 8676572

Claim:
A computer-implemented system for enhancing audio to individuals participating in a conversation, comprising: a floor analysis module to analyze audio data for a plurality of individuals participating in one or more conversations, to generate based on the audio data, a plurality of possible conversational configurations of the individuals, each possible conversational configuration comprising one or more pair-wise probabilities of at least two of the individuals, to assign a probability weight to each of the pair-wise probabilities comprising a likelihood that the individuals of that pair-wise probability are participating in one of the conversations, to determine a probability of each possible conversational configuration by combining the probability weights for the pair-wise probabilities of that possible conversational configuration, to select one of the possible conversational configurations with the highest probability as a most probable configuration, to determine the individuals participating in the conversations based on the pair-wise probabilities of the most probable configuration, and to enhance audio for each individual participating in the determined conversations; and a processor to execute the floor analysis module.
