Abstract

Systems and methods of the present disclosure include receiving, with a processor, audio from a first user device associated with a first user participating in the communication session; determining, by the processor, the audio comprises a level of noise; determining, by the processor, the level of noise exceeds a threshold level; and based on determining the level of noise exceeds the threshold level, one or more of generating, by the processor, a warning for the first user and generating, by the processor, a graphical illustration of the level of noise for the first user in the communication session.

Claims (37)

1 . A method for monitoring and controlling sound quality of a communication session, the method comprising:

receiving, with a processor, audio from a first user device associated with a first user participating in the communication session;

determining, by the processor, the audio comprises a level of noise;

generating, by the processor, a graphical illustration of the level of noise for the first user in the communication session;

determining, by the processor, the level of noise exceeds a threshold level; and

based on determining the level of noise exceeds the threshold level, generating, by the processor, a warning for the first user.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the level of noise exceeds the threshold level comprises analyzing a noise-to-voice ratio for the audio.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating a warning or recommendation for a second user device associated with a second user participating in the communication session.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the audio comprises the level of noise comprises processing the received audio with a neural network to separate voice data from noise data.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the determination that the level of noise exceeds the threshold level is not related to the voice data.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating a graphical illustration of the level of noise for display on the first user device.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining the level of noise is unrelated to a voice of the first user.

8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining the first user is an active speaker in the communication session.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein determining the first user is the active speaker comprises capturing loudness, pitch, range, and tone data associated with the received audio.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the communication session is one of a voice communication and a video communication.

11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the warning is one or more of a visual message and an audible message.

12 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a noise level contribution for each of a plurality of users participating in the communication session.

13 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising generating a graphical illustration of the noise level contribution for each of the plurality of users participating in the communication session.

14 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a source of noise in the audio.

15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the warning for the first user comprises an identification of the determined source of noise in the audio.

16 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the graphical illustration of the level of noise comprises a color representing the level of noise.

17 . A system for monitoring and controlling sound quality of a communication session, the system comprising:

a processor; and

a computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

receive audio from a first user device associated with a first user participating in the communication session;

determine the audio comprises a level of noise;

generate a graphical illustration of the level of noise for the first user in the communication session;

determine the level of noise exceeds a threshold level; and

based on determining the level of noise exceeds the threshold level, generate a warning for the first user.

18 . The system of claim 17 , wherein determining the audio comprises the level of noise comprises processing the received audio with a neural network to separate voice data from noise data.

19 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to determine a noise level contribution for each of a plurality of users participating in the communication session.

20 . A computer program product for monitoring and controlling sound quality of a communication session, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code embodied therewith, the computer-readable program code configured, when executed by a processor, to:

receive audio from a first user device associated with a first user participating in the communication session;

determine the audio comprises a level of noise;

generate a graphical illustration of the level of noise for the first user in the communication session;

determine the level of noise exceeds a threshold level; and

based on determining the level of noise exceeds the threshold level, generate a warning for the first user.
