Patent number: 10284955Abstract: An audio enhancement system can provide spatial enhancement, low frequency enhancement, and/or high frequency enhancement for headphone audio. The spatial enhancement can increase the sense of spaciousness or stereo separation between left and right headphone channels. The low frequency enhancement can enhance bass frequencies that are unreproducible or attenuated in headphone speakers by emphasizing harmonics of the low bass frequencies. The high frequency enhancement can emphasize higher frequencies that may be less reproducible or poorly tuned for headphone speakers. In some implementations, the audio enhancement system provides a user interface that enables a user to control the amount (e.g., gains) of each enhancement applied to headphone input signals. The audio enhancement system may also be designed to provide one or more of these enhancements more effectively when headphones with good coupling to the ear are used.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2017Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: Comhear, Inc.Inventor: Alan Kraemer

Publication number: 20170085605Abstract: An object-based teleconferencing protocol for use in providing video and/or audio content to teleconferencing participants in a teleconferencing event is provided. The object-based teleconferencing protocol includes one or more voice packets formed from a plurality of speech signals. One or more tagged voice packets is formed from the voice packets. The tagged voice packets include a metadata packet identifier. An interleaved transmission stream is formed from the tagged voice packets. One or more systems is configured to receive the tagged voice packets. The one or more systems is further configured to allow interactive spatial configuration of the participants of the teleconferencing event.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2015Publication date: March 23, 2017Applicant: ComHear, Inc.Inventor: Alan Kraemer
