Audio Synchronization for Truly Wireless Wearables - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240378012 titled 'Audio Synchronization for Truly Wireless Wearables

The technology described in the patent application is an audio codec with an inter-IC sound (I2S) word-select (WS) detector. This detector allows for the simultaneous processing of data by an I2S agent and a DAC within the audio codec.

  • The I2S WS detector monitors a word-select signal for a rising edge.
  • Upon detecting the rising edge on the WS signal, the detector sends an enable command to the I2S agent and the DAC.
  • This enables the I2S agent and the DAC to begin processing data immediately before a subsequent rising edge of the WS signal.

Potential Applications: - Audio processing systems - Consumer electronics - Automotive audio systems

Problems Solved: - Ensures synchronized processing of data by the I2S agent and DAC - Improves efficiency in audio codec operation

Benefits: - Enhanced audio processing capabilities - Improved performance of audio systems - Streamlined data processing

Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Audio Codec Technology for Enhanced Performance This technology can be used in various audio processing systems, consumer electronics, and automotive audio systems to improve efficiency and performance.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the I2S WS detector improve the processing efficiency of audio codecs? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology for the consumer electronics market?


Original Abstract Submitted

the technology provides for an audio codec with an inter-ic sound (i2s) word-select (ws) detector. the i2s ws detector is configured to enable an i2s agent and dac within the audio codec such that they begin processing data simultaneously. the i2s ws detector may monitor a word-select signal received by the i2s signal for a rising edge and after detecting the rising edge on the ws signal, the i2s ws detector may send an enable command to the i2s agent and the dac immediately before the a subsequent rising edge of the ws signal.
