AUDIO DATA TRANSFER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240340585 titled 'AUDIO DATA TRANSFER

The wearable device described in the patent application consists of a housing, a speaker, and a processor. The speaker is located within the internal volume defined by the housing, and the processor generates a modulated acoustic signal with a first audio wave and a second audio wave, which is then outputted by the speaker.

  • The wearable device includes a housing, speaker, and processor.
  • The speaker is located within the internal volume defined by the housing.
  • The processor generates a modulated acoustic signal with a first and second audio wave.
  • The speaker outputs the modulated acoustic signal.

Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in wearable devices such as smartwatches or fitness trackers to provide audio feedback to users. - It could also be utilized in communication devices for clear audio transmission in noisy environments.

Problems Solved: - Provides a compact and efficient way to generate and output modulated acoustic signals in wearable devices. - Enhances the user experience by incorporating audio feedback in a wearable form factor.

Benefits: - Improved user interaction with wearable devices through audio feedback. - Enhanced communication capabilities in noisy environments.

Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Wearable Device Technology for Enhanced User Experience This technology could be commercialized in the wearable technology market for smartwatches, fitness trackers, and communication devices. It offers a unique audio feedback solution that can improve user engagement and communication in various settings.

Questions about Wearable Device Technology: 1. How does this technology compare to existing audio output solutions in wearable devices? This technology offers a more compact and efficient way to generate and output modulated acoustic signals, enhancing the user experience with audio feedback.

2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in different types of wearable devices? The main challenge may be optimizing the size and power consumption of the components to fit within the constraints of various wearable form factors.
