    摘要: Devices and a method are provided for providing feedback to a user. In one implementation, the method comprises obtaining a plurality of images from an image sensor. The image sensor is configured to be positioned for movement with the user's head. The method further comprises monitoring the images, and determining whether relative motion occurs between a first portion of a scene captured in the plurality of images and other portions of the scene captured in the plurality of images. If the first portion of the scene moves less than at least one other portion of the scene, the method comprises obtaining contextual information from the first portion of the scene. The method further comprises providing the feedback to the user based on at least part of the contextual information.

    摘要: A wearable device may include an image sensor configured to capture a plurality of images from an environment, a microphone configured to capture sounds from the environment, and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be programmed to receive audio signals representative of the sounds captured by the at least one microphone, and receive a first image including a representation of a first individual from among the plurality of images captured by the image sensor. The at least one processor may also be programmed to obtain a first audio segment from the audio signals using the first image. The first audio segment may include a first portion of the audio signals in which the first individual is speaking. The at least one processor may also be programmed to receive a second image including a representation of a second individual from among the plurality of images captured by the image sensor, and obtain a second audio segment from the audio signals using the second image. The second audio segment may include a second portion of the audio signals in which the second individual is speaking. The at least one processor may also be programmed to receive a third image including a representation of the first individual from among the plurality of images captured by the image sensor, and using the third image, obtain a third audio segment from the audio signals. The audio segment may include a third portion of the audio signals in which the first individual is speaking. The at least one processor may also associate the first and third audio segments with the first individual and associate the second audio segment with the second individual.

    摘要: A hearing aid system for individual identification of a hearing aid system may include a wearable camera, a microphone, and at least one processor. The processor may be programmed to receive a plurality of images captured by the wearable camera; receive audio signals representative of sounds captured by the microphone; and identify a first audio signal, from among the received audio signals, representative of a voice of a first individual. The processor may transcribe and store, in a memory, text corresponding to speech associated with the voice of the first individual and determine whether the first individual is a recognized individual. If the first individual is a recognized individual, the processor may associate an identifier of the first recognized individual with the stored text corresponding to the speech associated with the voice of the first individual.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for monitoring posture of a user of a wearable apparatus. In one implementation, the system may include an image sensor configured to capture one or more images from an environment of the user of the wearable apparatus and at least one processing device. The at least one processing device may be configured to analyze the one or more images to determine at least one indicator of the posture of the user, determine feedback for the user based on the at least one indicator of the posture of the user, and cause the feedback to be output to the user.

    摘要: A wearable apparatus and methods may analyze images. In one implementation, the wearable apparatus may comprise a wearable image sensor and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be programmed to: receive, from the wearable image sensor, a facial image of an individual with whom a user of the wearable apparatus is interacting; receive sound data captured during the interacting; process at least a portion of the sound data to determine a spoken name of the individual; convert the spoken name to text; store, in memory, text associated with the spoken name in a manner associating the text with the facial image; after a subsequent encounter with the individual, receive, from the wearable image sensor, a subsequent facial image of the individual; perform a look-up of an identity of the individual based on the subsequent facial image; receive, from the memory the text of the spoken name of the individual; and cause a display in text of the name of the individual on a device paired with the wearable apparatus.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for directing the audio output of a wearable device having a plurality of speakers. In one implementation, the system may include an image sensor configured to capture one or more images from an environment of the user of the wearable apparatus, a plurality of speakers, and at least one processing device. The at least one processing device may be configured to analyze the one or more images to determine at least one indicator of head orientation of the user of the wearable apparatus, select at least one of the plurality of speakers based on the at least one indicator of head orientation, and output the audio to the user of the wearable apparatus via the selected at least one of the plurality of speakers.
