Original Abstract Submitted
a noise detecting playback system is provided to facilitate adaptive output of audio content by an audio player in response to detecting noise interferences such as external noise outside of the playback. the detection playback system assesses microphone signals and sensor data of the playback system for signs of attention requiring features to trigger playback of the audio content. microphone signals may provide volume level of a particular external noise, which is contrasted with output volume of the audio content, other noises in the environment, and/or a lack of detected noise in the environment to determine that the particular external noise is interfering or potentially interfering with the audio content. image sensor data of the surroundings of the listener acquired by a camera coupled to a personal listening device may also be assessed for attention features associated with an external noise.
