Patent number: 11676568Abstract: An apparatus receives a background audio signal from an earpiece microphone. The earpiece microphone is configured to convert sound from a surrounding environment into the background audio signal. The apparatus outputs, to at least one speaker, a primary audio signal with an altered version of the background audio signal. The altered version is selectable, responsive to control by a user of a user interface, between an amount of active noise cancelation of the sound and an amount of reproduction of the sound. One example embodiment is a headset with microphones and speakers for the respective inputs and outputs.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2021Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventor: Matti Sakari Hamalainen

Publication number: 20170276764Abstract: Output of audio or visual content via local mobile user devices (4a, 4b. 4c, 4d, 4e, 4f), such as a mobile phone and/or a headset, or via output devices (8a, 8b. 8c, 8d, 8e, 8f 8g, 8h), such as a speaker and/or a display, is controlled by a controller (7). The output devices (Sa, 8b. Sc, 8d, 8e, 8f 8g. 8h) are located at different locations within an environment for accommodating users (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d), such as the interior of a car. The controller (7) determines information on a location within the environment of each of the mobile user devices (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e, 4f) based on wireless signals received from the user devices (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e, 4f), such as Bluetooth low energy signals, and controls the output of the content based on this.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2014Publication date: September 28, 2017Inventors: Miikka Tapani VILERMO, Riitta Elina VÄÄNÄNEN, Sampo VESA, Matti Sakari HÄMÄLÄINEN, Arto Tapio PALIN, Jukka Pekka REUNAMAKI, Juha SALOKANNEL
