This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18496728 titled 'COUGH MONITORING
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure is directed to cough detection for electronic devices, such as wireless headphones. The cough detection utilizes inertial sensors to perform both head movement detection and vocal activity detection. The dual identification of head movement and vocal activity allows improved detection accuracy, and minimal false detections caused by environmental noise.
