Abstract:
Detection of a blocked microphone involves receiving microphone signals from a plurality of microphones. A plurality of signal feature measures are derived from the microphone signals. The signal feature measures are normalised. The normalised signal feature measures are variably weighted in response to detected environmental conditions in the microphone signals. The variably weighted normalised signal feature measures are combined to produce an output indication of whether a microphone is blocked.

Claim (Index 15):
A method for detecting a blocked microphone, the method comprising:\n receiving respective microphone signals from a plurality of microphones; deriving from the microphone signals a plurality of signal feature measures; normalising the signal feature measures; variably weighting the normalised signal feature measures in response to detected environmental conditions in the microphone signals; and combining the variably weighted normalised signal feature measures to produce an output indication of whether a microphone is blocked.
