Patent ID: 8775172

Claim:
A machine to automatically enable and disable noise reduction feature of a communication device, the machine comprising: one or more inputs for receiving signals from the communication device; a memory for storing program instructions; a microprocessor configured to execute the program instructions for performing: a) setting a threshold value received from a user; b) calculating after every ‘N’ seconds, RMS value of the signals received from the communication device; c) comparing the threshold value and the RMS value to obtain a single decision value; d) storing in the memory, the single decision value corresponding to either enabling or disabling the noise reduction feature of the communication device, wherein the decision value corresponds to disabling of the noise reduction feature if the RMS value is less than the threshold value, and wherein the decision value corresponds to enabling of the noise reduction feature if the RMS value is greater than the threshold value; e) enabling or disabling the noise reduction feature of the communication device based on the decision value.
