Patent attributes
A method of own voice detection is provided for a user of a device. A first signal is detected, representing air-conducted speech using a first microphone of the device. A second signal is detected, representing bone-conducted speech using a bone-conduction sensor of the device. The first signal is filtered to obtain a component of the first signal at a speech articulation rate, and the second signal is filtered to obtain a component of the second signal at the speech articulation rate. The component of the first signal at the speech articulation rate and the component of the second signal at the speech articulation rate are compared, and it is determined that the speech has not been generated by the user of the device, if a difference between the component of the first signal at the speech articulation rate and the component of the second signal at the speech articulation rate exceeds a threshold value.
