Abstract: Techniques are provided for mobile platform based detection and prevention (or mitigation) of hearing loss. An example system may include a hearing loss indicator data generation circuit configured to measure hearing loss indicator data associated with use of the device by a user. The hearing loss indicator data may include ambient sound characteristics, user speech volume level and user volume setting of the device. The system may also include an audio context generation circuit configured to estimate context data associated with use of the device. The context data may be based on classification of audio input to the device and on the location of the device. The system may further include an interface circuit configured to collect the hearing loss indicator data and the context data over a selected time period and provide the collected data to a hearing loss analysis system at periodic intervals.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a system includes a wearable device having a sensor that detects whisper data from a user. The whisper data may include vibrational data, audio data, and/or biometric signals, and correspond to words whispered by the user at a first decibel level. The system also includes a processor communicatively coupled to the sensor that extracts features associated with the whisper data including frequencies and/or amplitudes associated with the whispered data, and generates speech data based on the whisper data and the features. The speech data corresponds to the words spoken at a second decibel level, where the second decibel level is greater than the first decibel level.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a text metadata encoding logic. The text metadata encoding logic includes a metadata generation logic configured to generate a first text metadata including metadata for each identified text field included in a first image frame. The metadata generation logic maybe further configured to associate the first text metadata with the first image frame. The first text metadata may be transmitted at a text metadata bit rate. The text metadata bit rate may be less than an image data transmit bit rate. Another embodiment provides a text metadata decoding logic. The text metadata decoding logic includes a metadata reader logic configured to decode a text metadata received with an image frame data. The text metadata may have been transmitted at a text metadata bit rate and the image frame data may have been transmitted at a first image transmit bit rate. The text metadata bit rate is less than the first image transmit bit rate.
