Publication number: 20200359436Abstract: A wireless communication device establishes voice communication between a supported user and a selected remote device supporting another user via a point-to-point wireless ad hoc network link. The device selects a particular remote device, establishes an ad hoc network link with the selected remote device, and communicates voice communication signals with the selected remote device. Selection can be based upon a user interaction with the device which specifies the particular remote device. The user interaction can include interaction with a graphical representation of the particular remote device presented in a graphical user interface. The user interaction can include an audio command received via an audio interface of the device. The device can include one or more headset devices, including a pair of headset devices which can be switched between providing audio signals to a single user to supporting communication between separate users via an ad hoc network link.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2020Publication date: November 12, 2020Inventors: Esge B. Andersen, Cedrik Bacon

Publication number: 20200037097Abstract: A system and method for externalizing sound. The system includes a headphone assembly and a localizer configured to collect information related to a location of the user and of an acoustically reflective surface in the environment. A controller is configured to determine a location of at least one virtual sound source, and generate head related transfer functions that simulate characteristics of sound from the virtual sound source directly to the user and to the user via a reflection by the reflective surface. A signal processing assembly is configured to create one or more output signals by filtering the sound signal respectively with the HRTFs. Each speaker of the headphone assembly is configured to produce sound in accordance with the output signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2019Publication date: January 30, 2020Applicant: Bose CorporationInventors: Wade P. Torres, Daniel R. Tengelsen, Mikaela A. Shannon, Cedrik Bacon, Carl Jensen, Eric Raczka Bernstein
