Publication number: 20240087554Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, devices, and apparatuses for synchronized mode transitions are presented. A first device configured to be worn at an ear includes a processor configured to, in a first contextual mode, receive a first mode change request from a second device to transition at a first time to a second contextual mode. The first mode change request is based on detection of a trigger condition. The processor is further configured to, at the first time, transition from the first contextual mode to the second contextual mode based on the first mode change request.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Kamlesh LAKSHMINARAYANAN, Mark Andrew ROBERTS, Jacob Jon BEAN, Walter Andres ZULUAGA, Rogerio Guedes ALVES

Publication number: 20240080609Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for audio signal processing are presented. A device for audio signal processing includes a memory configured to store audio data and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to use an adaptation filter to adapt update filter coefficients of an update filter. The update filter coefficients are adapted based on a difference between an internal microphone signal and an output of the adaptation filter. An input of the adaptation filter is based on an external microphone signal. The processor is also configured to output an output signal from a hear-through filter. The hear-through filter includes the update filter and the adaptation filter. The processor is further configured to cause a loudspeaker to produce an audio output signal based on the output signal of the hear-through filter.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Jacob Jon BEAN, Rogerio Guedes ALVES, Kamlesh LAKSHMINARAYANAN, Walter Andres ZULUAGA

Patent number: 11875767Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, devices, and apparatuses for synchronized mode transitions are presented. A first device configured to be worn at an ear includes a processor configured to, in a first contextual mode, produce an audio signal based on audio data. The processor is also configured to, in the first contextual mode, exchange a time indication of a first time with a second device. The time indication is exchanged based on detection of a first condition of a microphone signal. The processor is further configured to, at the first time, transition from the first contextual mode to a second contextual mode based on the time indication.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2023Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Kamlesh Lakshminarayanan, Mark Andrew Roberts, Jacob Jon Bean, Walter Andres Zuluaga, Rogerio Guedes Alves

Patent number: 11849274Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for audio signal processing are presented. A device for audio signal processing includes a memory configured to store instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions. When executed, the instructions cause the processor to receive an external microphone signal from a first microphone and produce a hear-through component that is based on the external microphone signal and hearing compensation data. The hearing compensation data is based on an audiogram of a particular user. The instructions, when executed, further cause the processor to cause a loudspeaker to produce an audio output signal based on the hear-through component.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2021Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Jacob Jon Bean, Rogerio Guedes Alves, Kamlesh Lakshminarayanan, Walter Andres Zuluaga

Publication number: 20230276173Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for signal processing are described. Generally, as provided for by the described techniques, a wearable device to receive an input audio signal from one or more outer microphones, an input audio signal from one or more inner microphones, and a bone conduction signal from a bone conduction sensor based on the input audio signals. The wearable device may filter the bone conduction signal based on a set of frequencies of the input audio signals, such as a low frequency portion of the input audio signals. For example, the wearable device may apply a filter to the bone conduction signal that accounts for an error in the input audio signals. The wearable device may add a gain to the filtered bone conduction signal and may equalize the filtered bone conduction signal based on the gain. The wearable device may output an audio signal to a speaker.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2023Publication date: August 31, 2023Inventors: Lae-Hoon KIM, Rogerio Guedes ALVES, Jacob Jon BEAN, Erik VISSER
