    摘要: Herein provided is a method for acoustical switching suitable for use with a microphone enabled electronic device. The method includes capturing a first microphone signal from a first microphone on a device, analyzing the first microphone signal for a contact event versus a non-contact event, and directing the electronic device to switch a processing state responsive to detection of either the contact event or non-contact event. In another configuration, additional microphone can be added for performing coherence analysis between at least two microphone signals mounted on or in the device. At least one parameter settings of the device can be changed in response to at least one detected physical contact on the device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    摘要: Audio systems for a vehicle and methods of operating an audio device in a vehicle cabin are provided. A method of operating an audio device directs an acoustic signal to at least one vehicle cabin receiver (VCR) of the audio device; measures sound pressure levels (SPLVCM) for acoustic energy received by at least one vehicle cabin microphone (VCM) of the audio device during a time period Δt; calculates a sound pressure level (SPL) dose (SPL_DoseΔt) during the time period Δt using the sound pressure levels SPLVCM of the at least one VCM; combines the SPL dose (SPL_DoseΔt) with an SPL dose of a previous time period to form a total SPL dose (SPL_Dosetotal); and performs an action to modify operation of the audio device when the total SPL dose is greater than a predetermined threshold.

    摘要: A system that records audio and stores the recording is provided. The system includes first and second monitoring assemblies mounted in an earpiece that occludes and forms an acoustic seal of an ear canal. The first monitoring assembly includes an ambient sound microphone (ASM) to monitor an ambient acoustic field and produce an ASM signal. The second monitoring assembly includes an ear canal microphone (ECM) to monitor an acoustic field within the ear canal and produce an ECM signal. The system also includes a data storage device configured to act as a circular buffer for continually storing at least one of the ECM signal or the ASM signal, a further data storage device and a record-activation system. The record-activation system activates the further data storage device to record a content of the data storage device.

    摘要: At least one exemplary embodiment is directed to an earpiece and method for call control is provided. The method includes receiving an incoming call from a caller, accepting the incoming call in a subscriber non-speech mode, receiving and presenting speech communication from the caller, and responding to the speech communication to a subscriber by way of non-spoken subscriber response messages. The Subscriber can respond to the caller via text-to-speech messages by way of a keypad. The subscriber non-speech mode permits a non-spoken communication dialogue from the Subscriber to the Caller. A first method alerts a subscriber of an incoming call, and a second method permits the Subscriber to respond. Other embodiments are disclosed.
