Patent number: 10219069Abstract: A headphone system comprising a physiological sensor and a method of fitting a headphone system comprising a physiological sensor to a user is provided. The headphone system comprises a headphone having a speaker, a physiological sensor configured to be positioned for measuring physiological data, and a processor connected to the physiological sensor to receive the measured physiological data and process the measured physiological data to output physiological information and a fitting parameter. An application program is associated with the headphone, and is configured to receive the physiological information and the fitting parameter. The application program may evaluate at least the fitting parameter to indicate to a user whether the headphone is properly positioned, and issue a first notification in dependence on the evaluation of the fitting parameter.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2018Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: Valencell, Inc.Inventors: Kathrine Steen Urup, Lars Bohn Hansen

Patent number: 9279842Abstract: An assembly and a method for determining a change in capacitance in a cable, such as a change caused by a deformation of the cable. The deformation may be caused by a deforming element attached to the cable and slideable along the cable. The deforming element may be adapted to be compressed by a user and convert the compression force into a compression of the cable so as to cause the capacitance change. The assembly may form part of a headset and the deformation may be used to control a media player or mobile telephone used with the headset.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2013Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: GN Store Nord A/SInventors: Jakob Jensen, Peter Mossner, Peter Schou Sørensen, Kathrine Steen Urup, Lars Klint Johansen, Flemming Juul Raklev, Thomas Vad
