Abstract:
A system and method are provided for selecting a remote controlled device to be controlled from among a plurality of remote controllable devices. The system includes an electronic device having a registration interface configured to register device data corresponding to the plurality of remote controllable devices, a position locator configured to determine position data corresponding to a position of the electronic device, and an orientation interface configured to receive orientation data corresponding to an orientation of a user. A controller is configured to select the remote controlled device based on the device data, the position data, and the orientation data. The plurality of remote controllable devices each may include a respective data source configured to provide the device data, and a headset may be configured to generate the orientation data.
Abstract:
A microphone array includes a left microphone, a right microphone and a processor to receive a right microphone signal from the right microphone and a left microphone signal from the left microphone. The processor determines a timing difference between the left microphone signal and the right microphone signal. The processor determines whether the timing difference is within a time threshold. The processor time shifts one of the left microphone signal and the right microphone signal based on the timing difference. The processor also sums the shifted microphone signal and the other microphone signal to form an output signal.
Abstract:
A system for collecting earpiece data from a mobile terminal comprising an earpiece includes an earpiece data module in the mobile terminal configured to obtain earpiece data based on usage of the earpiece. A mobile terminal memory is in the mobile terminal and is configured to store the earpiece data. A communications module is in the mobile terminal and is configured to connect the mobile terminal to a remote earpiece data collection module that is remote to the mobile terminal. The earpiece data module is further configured to determine if the earpiece data in the mobile terminal memory satisfies a threshold and to transmit the earpiece data to the remote earpiece data collection module by the communications module if the earpiece data satisfies the threshold.

Abstract:
The invention is directed to systems, methods and computer program products associated with a microphone system for receiving a sound and producing an output signal representing the sound. The microphone system has a first microphone having a first dynamic range, the first microphone to receive the sound and produce a first sound signal based on the received sound. It also has a second microphone having a second dynamic range, the second microphone to receive the sound and produce a second sound signal based on the received sound, wherein the first dynamic range and the second dynamic range overlap thereby forming a transition dynamic range and processing logic operatively coupled to the first microphone and the second microphone. The processing logic is configured to receive the first sound signal from the first microphone, receive the second sound signal from the second microphone, and generate the output signal by combining the first sound signal and the second sound signal.
Abstract:
A method of controlling audio recording using an electronic device and an electronic device are described. The electronic device comprises a microphone arrangement having a directivity pattern. A target direction relative to the electronic device is automatically determined in response to sensor data representing at least a portion of an area surrounding the electronic device. The microphone arrangement is automatically controlled in response to the determined target direction to adjust an angular orientation of the directivity pattern relative to the electronic device.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a wearable electronic device, a viewing system comprising the wearable electronic device, a display device and methods for operating a wearable electronic device and a viewing system, respectively, wherein the wearable electronic device comprises a pair of glasses which can be controlled to change their optical state in a way to allow other and more flexible use of the equipment. The wearable electronic device for watching images comprises a left glass and a right glass which are adapted to change between a dark state and a transparent state of the glass and a controller operable to control the state of the glasses synchronous with a display of a plurality of images per second by a display device so that said left glass and said right glass are both in a dark state at the same time for a specific displayed image.
