AUDIO SYSTEM FOR SUPPRESSING LEAKAGE SIGNAL FROM IN-EAR DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240056733 titled 'AUDIO SYSTEM FOR SUPPRESSING LEAKAGE SIGNAL FROM IN-EAR DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system for presenting audio content to a user using a headset. The system includes one or more microphones attached to the headset frame, which capture sound from the surrounding area. An audio controller integrated into the headset is connected to an in-ear device worn by the user. The audio controller identifies sound sources in the local area based on the captured sound and determines a target sound source. It also determines filters to apply to the sound signal associated with the target sound source and generates an augmented sound signal by applying these filters. The augmented sound signal is then provided to the in-ear device for presentation to the user.

  • The system includes microphones attached to a headset frame to capture sound from the local area.
  • An audio controller integrated into the headset identifies sound sources in the local area.
  • The audio controller determines a target sound source and filters to apply to the sound signal associated with the target sound source.
  • An augmented sound signal is generated by applying the filters to the sound signal.
  • The augmented sound signal is presented to the user through an in-ear device.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Virtual reality and augmented reality experiences with immersive audio.
  • Noise cancellation and filtering for improved audio quality in crowded or noisy environments.
  • Audio enhancement for individuals with hearing impairments.
  • Real-time language translation and interpretation.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Difficulty in capturing and presenting audio content accurately in various environments.
  • Challenges in isolating and enhancing specific sound sources in a complex audio environment.
  • Limited control over the audio experience for users in different situations.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved audio clarity and immersion for users in virtual reality and augmented reality applications.
  • Enhanced communication and understanding in noisy or crowded environments.
  • Personalized audio experiences tailored to individual preferences and needs.
  • Accessibility for individuals with hearing impairments or language barriers.


Original Abstract Submitted

a system for presenting audio content to a user. the system comprises one or more microphones coupled to a frame of a headset. the one or more microphones capture sound from a local area. the system further comprises an audio controller integrated into the headset and communicatively coupled to an in-ear device worn by a user. the audio controller identifies one or more sound sources in the local area based on the captured sound. the audio controller further determines a target sound source of the one or more sound sources and determines one or more filters to apply to a sound signal associated with the target sound source in the captured sound. the audio controller further generates an augmented sound signal by applying the one or more filters to the sound signal and provides the augmented sound signal to the in-ear device for presentation to a user.
