Mobile communication device and communication method

Номер: US20120064940A1
Автор: Zhong Xu

A mobile communication device includes a main body, a communication unit, an earpiece, a mouthpiece, a comparison unit and a first driver. The communication unit generates a starting signal when the communication device and another communication device establish a connection. The earpiece rotates with respect to the main body. The mouthpiece receives ambient sound and determines an ambient noise level according to the collected ambient sound in response to the starting signal. The comparison unit determines whether the ambient noise level is equal to a predetermined value, and generates a first driving signal when the ambient noise level is not equal to the predetermined value. The first driver drives the earpiece to rotate toward an ear of a user of the mobile communication device in response to the first driving signal.

A mobile communications device contains at least two microphones. One microphone is located away from the handset receiver and serves to pick up voice of a near end user of the device for transmission to the other party during a call. Another microphone is located near the handset receiver and serves to pick up acoustic output of the handset receiver (a far end signal). A signal processor measures the frequency response of the receiver. The signal processor performs spectral analysis of the receiver frequency response to determine whether or not the device is being held at the ear of the user. On that basis, the device automatically changes its operating mode, e.g., turns on or off a touch sensitive display screen during the call. Other embodiments are also described.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO DISRUPT PHASE CANCELLATION EFFECTS WHEN USING HEADSET DEVICES

Номер: US20190068790A1
Автор: Sutton Chris
Принадлежит:

In applications where assisted listening headphones are worn inside of a theater, phase cancellation effects cause the headset wearer to perceive the audio as reduced in volume and distorted. These undesirable phase cancellation effects may be disrupted through preprocessing or real time processing of the headset audio track by summing acoustical noise with the original headset audio track and providing this altered audio track to the headset. The acoustical noise is modulated such that it is imperceptible to the headset wearer while at the same time disrupting undesirable phase cancellation effects, which would otherwise occur if the headset audio track was provided unaltered. Thus, the preprocessing of the headset audio preserves the integrity of the intended headset audio, as perceived by the headset wearer, in headsets worn in a theater environment. 1. A headset audio preprocessing method comprising:storing an audio track in memory of a mobile computing device;receiving in a microphone of the mobile computing device, contemporaneously played back audio;synchronizing playback of the stored audio track with the contemporaneously played back audio;acquiring acoustic noise; and,summing the acquired acoustic noise with the synchronized playback of the stored audio track in order reduce phase cancelation effects otherwise present in the synchronized playback of the stored audio track.2.
