  • Patent number: 10219069
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9279842
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20140221017
    Abstract: A method includes: establishing an observation using a geographic observation unit, wherein the act of establishing the observation comprising establishing a geographic point of observation and a direction of observation; obtaining uncertainty data associated with the geographic point of observation and/or the direction of observation; establishing a geographic field of observation that is bounded and extending from the geographic point of observation, wherein the geographic field of observation is established based on the uncertainty data and the direction of observation; obtaining a list of records of geographic points of interest as a function of the geographic field of observation; creating a filtered list of points of interest by excluding at least one geographic point of interest that is partially within the geographic field of observation; and providing audible point of interest information associated with one or more points of interest from the filtered list of points of interest.

  • Publication number: 20140219485
    Abstract: An embodiments described herein relates to a personal communications unit for observing from a point of view and team communications system comprising multiple personal communications units for observing from a point of view; especially to a personal communications system for use in a geographical environment configured with a computational unit configured to calculate a direction and/or a distance of the elsewhere geographical position relative to the origo geographical position; and perform a transformation of the at least one record of information from the at least one elsewhere geographical position; which transformation is as if the record of information was observed from the origo geographical position.

  • Publication number: 20140107916
    Abstract: A navigation system includes: a hearing device configured to be worn at a head of a user and having speakers for emission of sound towards ears of the user; a GPS unit for determining a geographical position of the system; a user interface for receiving input from the user regarding at least one of available time and maximum distance; a sound generator for outputting audio signals to the speakers; and a processor configured for determining a route between selected Points-Of-Interest, which route can be covered within the at least one of available time and maximum distance, wherein the processor is also configured for controlling the sound generator to output the audio signals for processing by the speakers to guide the user along the determined route; wherein the processor is further configured for taking information on preferred directions of approach for at least one Point-Of-Interest into account when determining the route.
