Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an earset including at least: a first earphone portion containing a first speaker that outputs sound signals or voice signals provided from an external device and a first microphone that receives user's voice signals provided via a user's external auditory canal and configured to be able to be inserted into an external auditory canal of a user; a second earphone portion containing a second speaker that outputs sound signals or voice signals provided from an external device and configured to be able to be inserted into a second external auditory canal of a user; and a main body connected with the first earphone portion and the second earphone portion and configured to be able to set up a calling mode or a playing mode.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for wearing position derived device operation are disclosed. In one example, methods and apparatuses are described herein using capacitive sensors to determine device antenna selection or user interface selection.
Abstract:
A handsfree device, which is coupled to a data processing device, may be operable to monitor at least one audio stream for occurrence of at least one keyword. Upon recognition of the at least one keyword, the handsfree device may establish a first connection between the handsfree device and the data processing device for launching a voice interface in the data processing device. The handsfree device may send audio data received after the recognition of the at least one keyword to the data processing device, via the first connection for responding to the audio data via the voice interface. During a keyword configuration operation, the handsfree device may send at least one inputted keyword to the data processing device for recording. The handsfree device may receive, via a second connection, the recorded at least one keyword from the data processing device for keyword configuration of the handsfree device.
Abstract:
The systems, devices, and methods provided herein can be used with an audio source to automatically attenuate a signal from the audio source in response to information about a local environment. In an example, an attenuation network circuit can be used to provide automatic or “hands-free” adjustment of a headphone or headset volume level to compensate for changing background sound or noise levels. In relatively noisy environments, the attenuation network can provide little or no attenuation of an audio source signal, and in less noisy environments, the attenuation network can provide greater attenuation of the audio source signal.
Abstract:
The adjustable headset is an all in one device that includes an adjustable support band, a display system, a first and second ear cover, a computer system, a communications system, and a power source. The adjustable support band connects to each ear cover, with the ear covers being adjacent to a user's ears. The display system uses binary screens to create the experience of looking at large screens by taking up most of a user's field of view. The display system is attached to the ear covers by adjustable screen bars, which allow a user to change the general orientation of the display system. The computer system is capable of storing and running software programs and interfacing with connected devices by means of a set of connection ports or the communications system. The virtual goggles can adjust to meet individual comfort needs and interface with a variety of technologies.
Abstract:
An acquisition system includes a processor and one or more sensors coupled to the processor, where the one or more sensors monitor within an ear canal one or more of acceleration, blood oxygen saturation, blood pressure or heart-rate configured to monitor a biological state or a physical motion or both. The processor can be configured to analyze a portion of the biological state or the physical motion. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for adapting an electronic device to receive digital television broadcast signals is disclosed. The device comprises a switch commandable to interpose one or more matching networks as in the RF signal path according to a channel command to match an integrated headset antenna to the tuner receiving the RF signals.
Abstract:
An audio processing device includes an earphone with a microphone, a cord, and a cord holding part, and a main unit connected to the cord. The main unit processes an audio signal sent from the microphone, and the earphone includes a housing that stores the microphone. The housing also includes a microphone hole part, and the cord holding part faces the microphone hole part.
Abstract:
A wireless audio device includes an audio streaming unit to wirelessly transmit an audio signal to a remote hearing device such as a hearing aid or a cochlear implant. A remote control unit to wirelessly controls the remote hearing device, a battery monitor determines a power level of a battery and provides a battery state signal indicative of the power level of the battery. A power management unit deactivates the audio streaming unit when the battery state signal reaches or falls below a first threshold and deactivates the remote control unit when the battery state signal reaches or falls below a second threshold, wherein the first threshold is higher than the second threshold. Also described is a method of operating such a wireless audio device as well as a hearing system including such a wireless audio device and a remote hearing device, such as a hearing aid or a cochlear implant.
Abstract:
A headset having game, chat and microphone audio signals is provided with a programmable signal processor for individually modifying the audio signals and a memory configured to store a plurality of user-selectable signal-processing parameter settings that determine the manner in which the audio signals will be altered by the signal processor. The parameter settings collectively form a preset, and one or more user-operable controls can select and activate a preset from the plurality of presets stored in memory. The parameters stored in the selected preset can be loaded into the signal processor such that the sound characteristics of the audio paths are modified in accordance with the parameter settings in the selected preset.
