摘要: Introduced here is a wearable audio system including modular ear-cup and ear-bud that can be attached and detached to the user together, or independently of each other. Further, the modular ear-cup and ear-bud can operate together, or independently of each other. The wearable audio system can perform active noise cancellation by measuring noise inside the ear-cup and/or the ear-bud, computing the noise canceling sound, and forwarding the noise canceling sound to a speaker inside the ear-cup and/or the ear-bud. The wearable audio system can be wirelessly charged while operating, thus allowing the user to continuously listen to music more than previously possible. The wearable audio system can optimize power consumption by redistributing power intensive tasks to power sources with the highest amount of power. Further, the ambient sound outside the ear-cup can be measured and played by the speakers in the earbud allowing the user to hear the surrounding environment.

摘要: Presented here is an audio device, such as a headphone, that can create, maintain and use secure data. The secure data can include an amount of time that the user has used the audio device and/or an amount of time allocated to the user. When the amount of time the user has used the audio device exceeds the amount of time allocated to the user, the audio device can stop emitting the audio. The secure data can also include a hearing profile of the user, which ca uniquely identify the user. The secure data associated with the headphone can be encrypted to prevent tampering.

摘要: Technology presented herein increases a user's enjoyment of sound by personalizing an audio signal so that the user perceives the audio signal as if the user had ideal hearing and/or desired hearing. In one embodiment, headphones on a user's head include a sensor and a speaker. While the speaker plays an audio signal to the user, the sensor records the user's response to the audio signal. The sensor can be a microphone, a brainwave sensor, an EEG sensor, etc. The user's response can be the audio response inside the user's ear, the brainwave response associated with the user, electrical skin response associated with the user, etc. Based on the measured response, and based on the knowledge of how other people perceive sound, the audio signal is modified to compensate for the difference between the user's hearing and the ideal hearing and/or desired hearing, therefore increasing the user's enjoyment of sound.

摘要: Introduced here are systems and methods to enable recording artists and engineers to specify exactly how the audio track should be played as well as perceived by the user in the case where the frequency transfer functions of the sound playback system and/or listening mechanisms (user's own hearing) can be measured and compensated for. For example, the acoustic environment during recording and mastering can be measured, and the measurements can be recorded in an inaudible portion of an audio track. The acoustic environment can include speaker frequency, distortion, reverberation, channel separation, room acoustics, etc. In addition, a hearing profile of the audio creator, such as the recording artist, sound engineer, mastering person, etc., can be included within the inaudible data. Further, the acoustic environment and/or the hearing profile of the audio consumer can also be used to modify the audio prior to reproducing the audio to the audio consumer.

摘要: Introduced here are systems and methods to increase accuracy of speech recognition by utilizing multiple sensors placed at multiple speech transmission regions such as a user's lips, throat, ear canal, etc. The various speech transmission regions are better at transmitting certain phonemes, and a sensor placed close to a particular speech transition region can more accurately detect the phoneme transmitted through the particular speech transmission region. For example, a microphone placed close to the lips can better detect labial phonemes such as m, n, p, and b, than a microphone placed close to the throat. Further, disclosed here are ways to reduce energy consumption while performing speech recognition.

The wearable audio system can optimize power consumption by redistributing power intensive tasks to power sources with the highest amount of power. Further, the ambient sound outside the ear-cup can be measured and played by the speakers in the earbud allowing the user to hear the surrounding environment.
