ADAPTIVE AMBIENT LISTENING FOR AUDIO SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17971931 titled 'ADAPTIVE AMBIENT LISTENING FOR AUDIO SYSTEMS
Simplified Explanation
The apparatus described in the patent application is designed to detect relevant sounds based on user preferences or audio device parameters and provide control commands to user listening devices to capture and transmit those sounds through their microphones.
- The apparatus includes at least one audio device for sound detection.
- Processing circuitry determines the presence of relevant sounds based on user preferences or audio device parameters.
- When relevant sounds are detected, control commands are sent to user listening devices to capture and transmit the sounds through their microphones.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in various applications such as:
- Assistive listening devices for individuals with hearing impairments.
- Smart home systems for monitoring specific sounds or activities.
- Security systems for detecting and recording specific sounds.
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the following issues:
- Difficulty in capturing specific sounds in noisy environments.
- Inability to customize sound detection preferences.
- Limited control over audio devices for capturing relevant sounds.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Enhanced user experience through personalized sound detection.
- Improved accessibility for individuals with hearing impairments.
- Increased control over audio devices for specific sound capture.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology could include:
- Audio recording devices with advanced sound detection capabilities.
- Home security systems with customized sound monitoring features.
- Wearable devices for real-time sound detection and transmission.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be existing audio recording devices with sound detection features, although the level of customization and control over sound detection may differ.
Unanswered Questions
How does the apparatus differentiate between relevant and irrelevant sounds?
The patent application does not specify the criteria or algorithms used to determine the relevance of detected sounds.
What types of user preferences can be set for sound detection?
The patent application does not provide details on the specific user preferences that can be configured for sound detection.
Original Abstract Submitted
An apparatus can include at least one audio device configured to detect sound. The apparatus can further include processing circuitry to determine presence of a relevant sound relevant to a user of the apparatus based on a user preference or an audio device parameter. The processing circuitry can further, responsive to detecting presence of the relevant sound, provide a control command to a user listening device to command the user listening device to provide the relevant sound to a microphone of the user listening device.
