INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM HEADSET WITH ADJUSTABLE EARCUP POSITION FOR STEREO AND MONO AUDIO PRESENTATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240031718 titled 'INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM HEADSET WITH ADJUSTABLE EARCUP POSITION FOR STEREO AND MONO AUDIO PRESENTATION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a headset with two speakers placed in earcups that fit over the user's ears. One earcup can be adjusted to rest above the ear while the other rests on the ear. A position sensor in the headset detects this configuration and turns off audio in the displaced earcup while increasing volume in the earcup that remains over the ear. Additionally, when only one ear is covered, the audio switches from stereo to monoaural.

  • The headset has two speakers placed in earcups that fit over the user's ears.
  • One earcup can be adjusted to rest above the ear while the other rests on the ear.
  • A position sensor in the headset detects the configuration of the earcups.
  • When one earcup is displaced from the ear, the audio is turned off in that earcup.
  • The volume is increased in the earcup that remains over the ear.
  • When only one ear is covered, the audio switches from stereo to monoaural.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Gaming headsets that provide immersive audio experiences.
  • Virtual reality headsets that enhance the audio quality for a more realistic experience.
  • Communication headsets for clear and focused audio during calls or conferences.
  • Assistive listening devices for individuals with hearing impairments.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Uneven pressure on the ears caused by traditional headsets.
  • Difficulty in adjusting the headset to fit comfortably on the user's head.
  • Audio imbalance when one earcup is displaced from the ear.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved comfort and fit for the user.
  • Enhanced audio experience with accurate sound localization.
  • Clear and balanced audio even when one ear is uncovered.
  • Accessibility for individuals with hearing impairments.


Original Abstract Submitted

a headset presents audio sounds with first and second speakers disposed in first and second earcups that fit over first and second of an end user's ears. one ear cup adjusts with a greater travel distance relative to the other earcup so that the headset rests on the end user head with the one earcup raised above an ear and the other on an ear. a position sensor disposed in the headset detects the headset configuration to turn off audio at the speaker of the earcup that is displaced from the ear while increasing volume at the speaker of the earcup that remains over an ear. in addition, when only one ear is covered by an earcup, the audio presentation converts from stereo to monoaural.
