Abstract: An audio system and a method of using the audio system to determine one or more of a head-related transfer function (HRTF) or a headphone equalization (HpEQ) filter for a user, are described. The audio system can determine an acoustic transfer function that relates an output signal detected by a microphone of a headphone worn by the user to an in input signal played by a speaker of the headphone. The acoustic transfer function corresponds to sound reflecting from a pinna of the user between the speaker and the microphone, and accordingly, the acoustic transfer function is user-specific. The user-specific acoustic transfer function can be used to determine the HRTF or the HpEQ filter for the user. Other aspects are also described and claimed.

Abstract: An interrupt delivery mechanism for a system includes and interrupt controller and a plurality of cluster interrupt controllers coupled to respective pluralities of processors in an embodiment. The interrupt controller may serially transmit an interrupt request to respective cluster interrupt controllers, which may acknowledge (Ack) or non-acknowledge (Nack) the interrupt based on attempting to deliver the interrupt to processors to which the cluster interrupt controller is coupled. In a soft iteration, the cluster interrupt controller may attempt to deliver the interrupt to processors that are powered on, without attempting to power on processors that are powered off. If the soft iteration does not result in an Ack response from one of the plurality of cluster interrupt controllers, a hard iteration may be performed in which the powered-off processors may be powered on.

Abstract: An electronic device with one or more processors and memory includes a procedure for using a digital assistant to automatically respond to incoming communications. In some embodiments, the device obtains a speech input from a user, and, in response to obtaining the speech input, the device determines whether the speech input includes instructions for performing a specified action in response to receipt of a subsequent incoming communication from one or more specified senders. After storing the instructions, the device obtains an incoming communication from a respective sender. The device determines whether the respective sender is one of the one or more specified senders, and, upon determining that the respective sender is one of the one or more specified senders, the device performs the specified action in accordance with the instructions and thereafter automatically deleting the instructions.
