Abstract: A method and apparatus increase audio output of a device. A mode of audio output operation of a device can be determined. Audio output can operate in a determined first mode of audio output operation that powers at least one first speaker at a first bandwidth and at a first output level below a first output level threshold. The audio output can operate in a determined second mode of audio output operation. The second mode of audio output operation can power the at least one first speaker at a high pass filtered second bandwidth that filters out low frequencies of the first bandwidth. The second mode of audio output operation can power the at least one first speaker at a second output level below a second output level threshold. The second output level threshold can be higher than the first output level threshold. The second output level can exceed the first output level threshold at least once. The second mode of audio output operation can power at least one second speaker at a low pass filtered second speaker bandwidth that includes at least the low frequencies of the first bandwidth.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to reduce acoustic feedback from a speaker to a microphone in a communication device. An audio signal can be reproduced by an apparatus. An audible signal of at least one near-end user can be voice activity detected at the apparatus. At least one audio output channel of multiple audio output channels can be operated on to attenuate acoustic pressure representative of the audio signal near at least one microphone aperture location when the audible signal of the at least one near-end user is detected at the apparatus.

Abstract: A method performed by a portable communication device includes determining a list of at least one target device in proximity to the portable communication device. The method further includes receiving a set of non-tactile user commands that indicates selected content and a selected set of target devices on the list and controlling sharing of the selected content between the portable communication device and the selected set of target devices.

Abstract: Voice controlled multimedia content creation techniques are discussed in which a multimedia package is created and shared to a specified destination responsive to voice commands. The voice commands can be received by a device as a single stream (e.g., a single phrase) that causes automatic performance of a sharing sequence or as a series of multiple voice commands that are input in response to prompts for voice input as part of the sharing sequence. The voice commands can be recognized and handled by a content creation system of the device to select a clip for tagging of content (such as captured audio or video). The selected clip is then combined with the content to create the multimedia package. Voice commands can also be employed to specify a destination for sharing of the content, such as one or more contacts or a particular sharing site.

Abstract: An electronic device includes one or more microphones, one or more sensors, and one or more processors operable with the one or more microphones and the one or more sensors. The one or more processors, upon the one or more sensors detecting the electronic device is disposed within a repository container, such as a pocket, apply an audio signal adjustment function to signals received from the one or more microphones, thereby mitigating noise in the signals caused by the repository container.

Abstract: The present application provides a circuit substrate and a method of managing the placement of one or more groupings of a plurality of capacitors coupled to a circuit substrate. Each capacitor has a pair of terminals, as well as a component shape which changes as a voltage difference is selectively applied across the pair of terminals. When a voltage difference is applied across the pair of terminals, the component shape of the capacitor will contract in a first direction and expand in a second direction, where the second direction is substantially orthogonal to the first direction. When the voltage difference is removed from the pair of terminals, the component shape of the capacitor will return to an uncontracted state in the first direction and an unexpanded state in the second direction. Each of the plurality of capacitors in a particular grouping is driven by a complementary signal. The method includes arranging each of the plurality of capacitors in the particular grouping, which are positioned within a relative distance of one another that is less than or equal to a quarter wavelength of a predetermined frequency, where at least some of the plurality of capacitors in the particular grouping are positioned to exert opposite influences on the circuit substrate relative to other capacitors in the particular group, in response to the plurality of capacitors in the particular grouping being driven by the complementary signal.

Abstract: Systems and methods for authorizing a user of a portable communications device entail sampling a user utterance via both an air mic (audio mic) and a conduction mic (surface mic or bone conduction mic). The difference between these signals is unique to each user since the tissues of each user will differ with respect to audio conduction. This difference may be characterized via a transform including magnitude, phase and time delay components. If the transform for a prospective user matches a stored transform for an authorized user, then the prospective user may be granted access.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a microphone coupled to a first substrate, a second substrate defining an acoustic port, and a pressure relief device situated between the first substrate and the second substrate. The pressure relief device includes a bore defining an acoustic duct through which the microphone receives acoustic energy from the acoustic port. The pressure relief device also includes a venting section. The venting section breaches the acoustic duct when a pressure within the acoustic duct exceeds a predefined pressure threshold.
