The specification and drawings present a new method, apparatus and software product for listening assistance to a user of a phone terminal with a headset or a hearing aid for selective listening of a local acoustic source in a noisy environment by said user utilizing a combination of said phone terminal and said headset. The method for the listening assistance comprises of placing the phone terminal near a desired local acoustic source, switching a mode of the phone terminal to a listening mode, providing to the headset or to the hearing aid a signal (e.g., a wireless signal) generated by the phone terminal in response to an acoustic signal from the local acoustic source, and providing to the user an output acoustic signal generated by the headset or by the hearing aid in response to that signal thus providing said listening assistance to the user.

The invention relates to determining a context of a system so that the system can be controlled or the context information be used in the system. The context of a system is described with tags or words that characterize e.g. the state of the system, the surroundings of the system and the state of the user. These tags are determined at multiple time instances. The tags are collected over a first time span and a second time span, and the two (or more) sets of tags are used to determine the context of the system. If the determination using the two sets gives a different result, that is, there is a large distance between the two derived contexts, it is determined that a change in context has occurred. Detecting the change in context can be used to control the system, e.g. by changing the applications presented to the user on the user interface, or by changing the state and/or priority of applications.

Co-occurrence data representing e.g. preferences and facts observed in a plurality of situations may be stored in a matrix as combinations of high-dimensional sparse vectors. The matrix may be called e.g. as an experience matrix. The data stored in the experience matrix may be subsequently utilized e.g. for predicting a preference of a user in a new situation. Co-occurrence data may be stored in the experience matrix may be updated by a method comprising determining a first word based on a state of a system and/or based on a physical quantity detected by a sensor, forming a first word group comprising the first word and a second word, associating the first word and the second word with a common sparse vector, associating the first word words with a first vector of a matrix, associating the second word with a second vector of the matrix, modifying the first vector of the matrix by adding contribution of the common sparse vector to the first vector of the matrix, and modifying the second vector of the matrix by adding contribution of the common sparse vector to the second vector of the matrix.
摘要:
An apparatus including an air-conduction transducer and a bone conduction transducer. The air-conduction transducer is configured to convert a first frequency band component of an electrical audio signal into acoustic energy to be delivered to an ear canal of a user. The bone conduction transducer is configured to convert a second, at least partially different, frequency band component of the electrical audio signal into mechanical energy to be delivered to a skull of the user. The apparatus is configured to deliver both forms of the energies to the user at a substantially same time to provide a combined audio delivery result to the user.

摘要:
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided in order to augment an index image generated by a near eye display in order to more clearly present at least a portion of the index image. In the context of a method, a position of the mobile terminal relative to an index image generated by a near eye display is determined. The method also determines an image to be presented by the mobile terminal based upon the index image and the position of the mobile terminal relative to the index image. The method also causes the image to be presented by the mobile terminal. A corresponding apparatus and a computer program product are also provided.

The invention relates to forming a prediction using an experience matrix, a matrix based on sparse vectors such as random index vectors. At least a part of a first experience matrix and at least a part of at least a second experience matrix are caused to be combined (1410) to obtain a combined experience matrix. The experience matrices comprise sparse vectors or essentially similar vectors in nature, and said experience matrices comprise information of at least one system, for example contexts of a system. At least a part of at least one sparse vector of the combined experience matrix is accessed to form a prediction output (1420), and a system is controlled (1430) in response to said prediction output.

A method, apparatus and computer program are provided. The method comprises: performing a first detection of at least one bio-signal from at least one user; controlling a user output device to initiate a user alert, after performing the first detection of the at least one bio-signal; performing a second detection of the at least one bio-signal from the at least one user, after initiating the user alert; and processing the first detection of the at least one bio-signal and the second detection of the at least one bio-signal to determine whether one or more changes in the at least one bio-signal pass a significance test.
摘要:
A hand-held electronic device for producing stereo effect sound in both a first and a second orientation of the device. The first and second directions are perpendicular to each other. The device comprises a pair of loudspeakers spaced from each other in two directions perpendicular to each other. One direction always lies in a horizontal plane irrespective of whether the device is in its first or second orientation.
