BONE-CONDUCTIVE AUDIO SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240267681 titled 'BONE-CONDUCTIVE AUDIO SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation:
The bone-conductive audio system described in the patent application includes a head-worn hearing enhancement apparatus that captures sound in front and behind the outer ear using microphones and transducers to create a spatial audio experience.
- The system includes at least one head-worn hearing enhancement apparatus.
- The apparatus has a microphone in front of the outer ear and at least one microphone behind the outer ear.
- First and second amplified vibration transducers interact with the microphones to create an organically recognizable audio spatiality.
- The placement of the microphones captures discrete audio signals in different directions on the head.
- The transducers are drawn towards audio conductive bones to enhance the audio experience.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Utilizes bone conduction technology for audio transmission.
- Captures sound in front and behind the outer ear for a spatial audio experience.
- Integrates microphones and vibration transducers for enhanced audio spatiality.
- Provides a natural and organic audio experience.
Potential Applications:
- Hearing enhancement for individuals with hearing impairments.
- Immersive audio experiences for virtual reality applications.
- Audio spatiality enhancement for gaming and entertainment systems.
Problems Solved:
- Enhances audio spatiality for a more immersive experience.
- Provides a natural and organic audio experience.
- Improves hearing for individuals with hearing impairments.
Benefits:
- Enhanced audio spatiality.
- Improved hearing experience.
- Immersive audio experiences.
Commercial Applications:
The bone-conductive audio system could be used in various commercial applications such as hearing aids, virtual reality headsets, gaming peripherals, and entertainment systems to provide users with an enhanced audio experience.
Questions about Bone-Conductive Audio Systems:
1. How does bone conduction technology work in audio systems? 2. What are the potential benefits of using a bone-conductive audio system?
Original Abstract Submitted
a bone-conductive audio system includes at least one head-worn hearing enhancement apparatus. the head-worn hearing enhancement apparatus comprises a microphone in front of the outer ear generally picking up sound in a forward outward direction and at least one microphone behind the outer ear picking up sound in a more rearward outward direction. first and second amplified vibration transducers interact with the at least one microphone in front of the outer ear and the at least one microphone behind the outer ear. the first and second amplified vibration transducers are drawn toward audio conductive bones. placement of the at least one microphone in front of the outer ear and the at least one microphone behind the outer ear feeds the naturally captured discrete audio signals, front and rear, captured in a physical location on the head to the first and second amplified vibration transducers to create organically recognizable audio spatiality.
