  • Publication number: 20180220725
    Abstract: A wearable electronics fabric accessory for a wearable electronic device such as headphones, headsets, AR/VR devices, a method of using the wearable accessory, and a method of making the wearable accessory are described. The wearable accessory includes fabric that can be wrapped around or fit onto, part of or all of, the electronic support structure of the wearable electronic device, to enclose part or all of the electronic components and structure. The wearable electronics fabric accessory can include an elongated pocket or channel having first and second ends. The elongated pocket includes a first aperture through which wires and earbuds of the wearable electronic device may extend. The elongated pocket also includes a second aperture located at the first end of the elongated pocket. The second aperture allows a first end of a support structure of the wearable device to extend there through. The elongated pocket may further include a third aperture located at the second end of the elongated pocket.

  • Publication number: 20180167715
    Abstract: An audio headset that provides a “chat” mode to temporarily adjusts audio to preset levels to emphasize ambient sound, and includes a beamformer to provide directional speech isolation. The headset may include active noise cancellation and/or passive noise isolation. When entering chat mode, three or more relative audio levels are individually adjusted to presets, allowing the wearer to hear ambient noise and their own isolated voice, while attenuating other audio sources. This user-configurable combination of levels temporarily adjust the mix of signals that will be output to a wearer via the stereo headphone speakers.

  • Publication number: 20180014117
    Abstract: A headset includes a wearable body, first and second earphones extending from the wearable body, controls for controlling an external communication/multimedia device wirelessly, a microphone for picking up vocal data from a user of the headset system and a signal processing unit. The signal processing unit includes circuitry for processing the vocal data into a distinctly audible vocal feedback signal, circuitry for enhancing the vocal feedback signal thereby producing an enhanced vocal feedback signal and circuitry for mixing the enhanced vocal feedback signal with audio signals originating from the external communication/multimedia device, thereby producing a mixed output signal and then sending the mixed output signal to the user via the earphones. The external communication/multimedia device comprises a vocal command application and the headset further comprises a vocal command control for sending vocal commands to the external communication/multimedia device and to the vocal command application.
