USE OF BIOMETRIC SIGNALS TO PERSONALIZE AUDIO - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240256600 titled 'USE OF BIOMETRIC SIGNALS TO PERSONALIZE AUDIO
The abstract describes an audio system that personalizes the presentation of audio content to a user based on their biometric data, such as voice characteristics, heart rate, blood pressure, or other physiological data. The system calculates a communication energy score for the user from this biometric data and retrieves audio parameters for the location. It then updates audio functions like noise suppression and beamforming based on the communication energy score, modifying the audio presented to the user accordingly. This system can be integrated into a headset or wearable device.
- The audio system customizes audio content based on the user's biometric data.
- It calculates a communication energy score and retrieves audio parameters for the location.
- Audio functions are updated and audio presentation is modified based on the communication energy score.
- The system can be integrated into a headset or wearable device.
- Biometric data used includes voice characteristics, heart rate, blood pressure, and other physiological data.
Potential Applications: - Personalized audio experiences in entertainment or communication devices. - Healthcare applications for monitoring and managing stress levels. - Enhanced user experiences in virtual reality or augmented reality environments.
Problems Solved: - Lack of personalized audio experiences based on user's physiological state. - Difficulty in adapting audio content to user's changing needs in real-time.
Benefits: - Improved user engagement and satisfaction with audio content. - Enhanced user comfort and well-being through personalized audio experiences. - Increased efficiency in communication and information delivery.
Commercial Applications: Title: Personalized Biometric Audio System for Enhanced User Experience This technology can be utilized in various industries such as entertainment, healthcare, and communication devices to provide personalized audio experiences based on the user's biometric data. The market implications include improved user satisfaction, increased product demand, and potential for new revenue streams.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the audio system determine the communication energy score for the user? 2. What are the potential privacy concerns associated with collecting and using biometric data for audio customization?
Original Abstract Submitted
an audio system customizes presentation of audio content to a user based on biometric data of the user. biometric data includes characteristics of the user's voice, the user's heart rate, the user's blood pressure, or other physiological data. from the biometric data of the user, the audio system determines a communication energy score for the user and retrieves one or more audio parameters for the location. the audio system updates one or more audio functions (e.g., noise suppression, beamforming, what audio is retrieved, etc.) based on the audio parameters determined for the communication energy score from the user's biometric data and modifies audio presented to the user based on the updated audio functions. the audio system may be integrated into a headset or another wearable device.
