US Patent 11284183 Auditory augmented reality using selective noise cancellation

Various embodiments include a computer-implemented method comprising receiving an input signal representing an ambient auditory environment of a user, generating, from the input signal, a set of ambient audio signals that includes a first component signal and a second component signal, generating, based on the first component signal, a first inverse signal that is a polar inverse of the first component signal, removing the first component signal from the set of ambient audio signals, generating a first composite signal that includes at least the first inverse signal and the second component signal, and driving an audio output device to produce soundwaves based on the first composite signal.
