Patent number: 11928387Abstract: A method for controlling target sound playback. A display screen of a control device is configured to display a target sound user setting for controlling target sound playback, wherein the target sound user setting controls a stored target sound level parameter that is stored within memory of the control device. A target sound sequence is generated in accordance with the user setting. A speaker is driven with the target sound sequence. Other aspects are also described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Cecilia Casarini, Ian M. Fisch, Jakub Mazur, Mitchell R.

Patent number: 11818554Abstract: In-ear sound pressure level, SPL, is determined that is caused by output audio being converted into sound by a headset worn by a user. The in-ear SPL is converted into a sound sample having units that are suitable for evaluating sound noise exposure. These operations are repeated to produce a sequence of sound samples during playback. This sequence of sound samples is then written to a secure database. Access to the database is authorized by the user. Other aspects are also described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2022Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jakub Mazur, Tyrone T. Chen, Hang Zhang

Patent number: 11615801Abstract: A personal listening system and a method of using the personal listening system to enhance speech intelligibility of audio playback, are described. The method includes determining a speech intelligibility metric, such as a speech reception threshold, of a user. Based on the speech intelligibility metric, a tuning parameter is applied to an audio input signal. The speech reception threshold is compared to an environmental signal-to-noise ratio to determine whether enhancement of the audio input signal is warranted. Application of the tuning parameter to the audio input signal generates an audio output signal having reduced noise, making playback of the audio output signal more intelligible to the user. Other aspects are also described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2020Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Narimene Lezzoum, Yacine Azmi, Jakub Mazur, Lars Rasmus Elofsson Bernstedt, Tarun Pruthi

Patent number: 11276384Abstract: An audio system has an ambient sound enhancement function, in which an against-the-ear audio device having a speaker converts a digitally processed version of an input audio signal into sound. The audio system also has an acoustic noise cancellation (ANC) function that may be combined in various ways with the sound enhancement function, and that may be responsive to voice activity detection. Other aspects are also described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2020Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: John Woodruff, Tom-Davy W.

Patent number: 11228835Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces and techniques for managing audio exposure using a computer system (e.g., an electronic device). In accordance with some embodiments, the electronic device displays a graphical indication of a noise exposure level over a first period of time with an area of the graphical indication that is colored to represent the noise exposure level, the color of the area transitioning from a first color to a second color when the noise exposure level exceeds a first threshold. In accordance with some embodiments, the electronic device displays noise exposure levels attributable to a first output device type and a second output device type and, in response to selecting a filtering affordance, visually distinguishes a set of noise exposure levels attributable to the second output device type.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2020Date of Patent: January 18, 2022Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Nicholas Felton, Ramsey Deeb Abouzahra, Taylor G.
