HEARING AID PROXIMITY DETECTION AND ACTION TO OPTIMIZE A CALL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240305936 titled 'HEARING AID PROXIMITY DETECTION AND ACTION TO OPTIMIZE A CALL
Simplified Explanation:
The patent application describes a hearing aid system that can automatically adjust settings based on the proximity of a mobile device.
- The first hearing aid detects the distance between itself and the mobile device using a sensor.
- If the distance is below a certain threshold, the hearing aid changes its preset to a different setting.
- This system allows for seamless adjustment of hearing aid settings based on the user's environment.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Automatic adjustment of hearing aid presets based on proximity to a mobile device.
- Utilization of sensors to detect distance between the hearing aid and the mobile device.
- Seamless transition between different presets for optimal hearing experience.
Potential Applications:
- Assistive technology for individuals with hearing impairments.
- Enhanced user experience for hearing aid wearers in different environments.
- Integration with mobile devices for personalized hearing solutions.
Problems Solved:
- Inconvenience of manually adjusting hearing aid settings in changing environments.
- Lack of seamless integration between hearing aids and mobile devices.
- Difficulty in optimizing hearing aid performance for different situations.
Benefits:
- Improved user experience with automatic preset adjustments.
- Enhanced adaptability of hearing aids to varying environments.
- Simplified operation for individuals with hearing impairments.
Commercial Applications:
The technology could be utilized in the healthcare industry for hearing aid solutions, as well as in consumer electronics for personalized audio experiences.
Questions about Hearing Aid Proximity System:
1. How does the hearing aid system determine the distance between the device and the mobile device? 2. What are the potential privacy implications of a hearing aid system that interacts with a mobile device?
Original Abstract Submitted
a first hearing aid includes a first sensor that receives first sensor data associated with a mobile device. the first hearing aid determines, based on the first sensor data, that a first distance between the first hearing aid and the mobile device is below a first distance threshold. the first hearing aid changes a first preset associated with the first hearing aid to a second preset. a second hearing aid changes a first preset associated with the second hearing aid to a third preset.
