Headphone Audio Controller - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240314489 titled 'Headphone Audio Controller
The abstract of the patent application describes a headphone with an audio controller that utilizes audio transfer functions to enhance sound quality.
- The headphone includes an acoustic transducer for sound delivery, a microphone for sensing sound, and a processor for calculating audio transfer functions.
- The processor determines first and second audio transfer functions between the transducer and the microphone to optimize sound quality.
- The audio controller is calculated based on both the first and second audio transfer functions to improve the overall audio experience.
Potential Applications:
- This technology can be used in headphones for music listening, gaming, virtual reality, and communication purposes.
- It can also be integrated into hearing aids to enhance sound quality for individuals with hearing impairments.
Problems Solved:
- The technology addresses the issue of suboptimal sound quality in headphones by optimizing audio transfer functions.
- It improves the overall audio experience for users by enhancing sound clarity and fidelity.
Benefits:
- Users can enjoy a more immersive and high-quality audio experience with headphones equipped with this technology.
- Individuals with hearing impairments can benefit from improved sound quality and clarity in hearing aids.
Commercial Applications:
- The technology can be marketed to headphone manufacturers, audio equipment companies, and hearing aid manufacturers.
- It has the potential to enhance the competitiveness of products in the audio technology market by offering superior sound quality.
Questions about Headphone Audio Controllers: 1. How does the audio controller in headphones improve sound quality?
