EARPHONE AND EARPHONE CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240054986 titled 'EARPHONE AND EARPHONE CONTROL METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an earphone that is worn by a user and includes a sound pickup unit, a detection unit, and a control unit. The sound pickup unit captures sound signals, while the detection unit detects user movement or environmental impact. The control unit processes the output sound based on the sound pickup signal and the detection result.
- The earphone has a sound pickup unit to capture sound signals.
- It includes a detection unit to detect user movement or environmental impact.
- The control unit processes the output sound based on the sound pickup signal and detection result.
- The earphone can adaptively reduce ambient sound, noise signals, or wind noise.
- It can introduce ambient sound into an audio signal.
- The characteristics of user voice audio can be adjusted for transmission to a conversation partner terminal.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Noise reduction in earphones for better audio quality.
- Enhancing communication by reducing wind noise in voice calls.
- Improving audio clarity in noisy environments.
- Providing adaptive adjustments to user voice audio for better transmission.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Reducing unwanted noise signals such as breathing sounds, vocal sound, and pulse sounds.
- Minimizing wind noise interference in voice or music signals.
- Improving the quality of user voice audio for better communication.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced audio experience with reduced ambient and unwanted noise.
- Improved communication quality by reducing wind noise and adjusting user voice audio.
- Increased comfort and convenience for users wearing the earphone.
Original Abstract Submitted
this earphone is worn by a user and comprises: a sound pickup unit; a detection unit for detecting movement by the user or the impact of the surrounding environment; and a control unit that performs processing of output sound on the basis of a sound pickup signal picked up by the sound pickup unit and the detection result from the detection unit. for example, not only ambient sound but also noise signals such as breathing sounds, vocal sound, and pulse sounds from the user are adaptively reduced, or ambient sound is introduced into an audio signal. alternatively, wind noise included in a voice signal or a music signal is adaptively reduced. alternatively, the characteristics of user voice audio for transmission to be transmitted to a conversation partner terminal are adaptively adjusted, and wind noise included in the user voice audio is reduced.
