Patent number: 10667073Abstract: A method is provided for directing a user to a point of interest using sounds played on a wearable audio output device. A user's direction of gaze is determined using data from at least one sensor in the audio output device. First and second locations are determined of the user and the point of interest respectively, and a distance is determined between the first and second locations. A relative angle between the direction of gaze and the direction of the point of interest is determined based on the determined first and second locations. A sample sound is altered using at least one sonification technique to convey information relating to the determined distance and the relative angle. The altered sample sound is rendered and output for playing by the audio output device.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2019Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: BOSE CORPORATIONInventors: Mark Raymond Blewett, Paul Thomas Bender, Lee Zamir, Santiago Carvajal, Todd Reily, Daniel Ross Tengelsen, Wade Torres, Janet Liang Xu, Stoyan I.

Patent number: 10327073Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatuses, and systems for closed-loop respiration entrainment based on spatialized audio signals. According to an aspect, based on a determined rate of a subject's respiration, spatialization of a virtual sound source is altered to simulate a distance or directionality to the subject. Simulating the distance, directionality, and/or source characteristics comprises processing sounds of the virtual sound source to generate a perception of the sounds being heard from one or more distances or directions with reference to the subject. The altered virtual sound source attempts to regulate the rate of respiration of the subject. An audio device outputs the sounds of the altered virtual sound source.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2018Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: BOSE CORPORATIONInventors: Dale McElhone, Mikaela Alison Shannon, Daniel Ross Tengelsen, Richard Eli Saffran, John Harlan Wendell

Patent number: 10056068Abstract: An audio system includes a plurality of near-field speakers arranged in a listening area. A plurality of cross-talk cancellation filters are coupled to the speakers. The speakers and the filters are arranged to provide first and second listening zones in the listening area such that audio from the first listening zone is cancelled in the second listening zone and vice versa. The system also includes at least one audio source providing audio content. Volume-based equalization circuitry receives an audio signal representing audio content for the first listening zone from the audio source and controls a volume adjustment applied to the audio signal to control a volume of audio in the first listening zone. The circuitry limits attenuation or amplification of a first frequency portion of the audio signal when a volume setting differential corresponding to a difference between volume settings for the first and second zones exceeds a predetermined value.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2017Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: Bose CorporationInventors: Charles Oswald, Eduardo T.

Publication number: 20180206038Abstract: The technology described in this document can be embodied in a method of reproducing audio related to a teleconference between a second location and a remote first location. The method includes receiving data representing audio captured by a microphone array disposed at the remote first location. The data includes directional information representing the direction of a sound source relative to the remote microphone array. The method also includes obtaining, based on the directional information, information representative of head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) corresponding to the direction of the sound source relative to the remote microphone array, and generating, using one or more processing devices, an output signal for an acoustic transducer located at the second location. The output signal is generated by processing the received data using the information representative of the one or more HRTFs, and is configured to cause the acoustic transducer to generate an audible acoustic signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2017Publication date: July 19, 2018Inventors: Daniel Ross Tengelsen, Austin Mackey, Wontak Kim
