Abstract:
A method for controlling a speech enhancement process in a far-end device, while engaged in a voice or video telephony communication session over a communication link with a near-end device. A near-end user speech signal is produced, using a microphone to pick up speech of a near-end user, and is analyzed by an automatic speech recognizer (ASR) without being triggered by an ASR trigger phrase or button. The recognized words are compared to a library of phrases to select a matching phrase, where each phrase is associated with a message that represents an audio signal processing operation. The message associated with the matching phrase is sent to the far-end device, which is used to configure the far-end device to adjust the speech enhancement process that produces the far-end speech signal. Other embodiments are also described.

Claim (Index 19):
The near-end device of  claim 12 , wherein the message indicates a parameter that controls directional noise reduction by a beamforming algorithm that operates upon a plurality of microphone signals.
