METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR A HEADSET WITH INTEGRATED ENVIRONMENTAL SENSORS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240030882 titled 'METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR A HEADSET WITH INTEGRATED ENVIRONMENTAL SENSORS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device that receives audio from a source and outputs it through speakers. The device also has the ability to sense its surrounding environment and adjust its operation accordingly to alert the listener wearing the device. This adjustment can include generating audio, visual, and/or vibration notifications. The volume of the audio output can be adjusted based on the sensed environment. If a specific condition is detected in the surrounding environment, the volume is decreased, and if the condition is not detected, the volume is increased.

  • The device receives audio from a source and outputs it through speakers.
  • It senses the surrounding environment and adjusts its operation accordingly.
  • It can generate audio, visual, and/or vibration notifications to alert the listener.
  • The volume of the audio output can be adjusted based on the sensed environment.
  • It can detect a specific condition in the surrounding environment.
  • If the condition is present, the volume is decreased.
  • If the condition is not present, the volume is increased.

Potential Applications:

  • Personal audio devices that adjust volume based on the surrounding environment.
  • Hearing aids that can adapt to different listening environments.
  • Smart headphones that provide notifications based on the user's surroundings.

Problems Solved:

  • Inconsistent audio experience in different environments.
  • Difficulty in hearing notifications or alerts in noisy surroundings.
  • Limited control over volume adjustments in changing environments.

Benefits:

  • Improved user experience with personalized audio output.
  • Enhanced awareness of the surrounding environment through notifications.
  • Better control over audio volume in different situations.


Original Abstract Submitted

an electronic device receives audio from an audio source and outputs the audio via speakers of the device. while outputting the audio via the speakers, the device senses its surrounding environment, and adjusts its operation, based on the sensed environment, to alert a listener wearing the device. the adjustment may comprise generation of one or more audio, visual, and/or vibration notifications to the listener using the device. a volume of the audio output via the speakers may be adjusted based on the sensed surrounding environment. the device may detect whether a first condition is present in the surrounding environment, decrease the volume when the first condition is detected in the surrounding environment, and increase the volume when the first condition is not detected in the surrounding environment.
