Abstract: A method for identifying one or more noisy persons speaking in an open office or other open workplace environment, the method comprising; measuring acoustic level of speech in the workplace environment, analysing the voice characteristics of the persons speaking in order to distinguish the different speakers, estimating acoustic noise levels for each of the one or more persons speaking. A noise indicator system for identifying one or more noisy person(s) speaking in an open office or other open workplace environment comprising one or more microphones, a voice analyzer configured for analyzing voices recorded by the microphone(s), a noise level estimator configured for estimating the noise level of the voices, a data logging unit configured for recording and storing voice level data, a voice mapping unit configured for comparing recorded voice data with voice data stored in a voice profile data bank.

Abstract: The earphone (1) is adapted to be arranged in an operating position at a first ear (5) of a user (4) and, in the operating position, provide a first acoustic output signal (SO) to the first ear (5). The earphone has a first input unit (31) adapted to receive a first audio input signal (SI); a first noise cancellation signal path (37) with a first microphone (26) and a first noise cancellation filter (32), wherein the first microphone (26) is arranged to receive ambient sound (SA) from ambient space (7) with the earphone in the operating position and is adapted to provide a corresponding first reference signal (SR), and wherein the first noise cancellation filter (32) is adapted to apply a first transfer function (H) to the first reference signal (SR) to provide a first noise cancellation signal (SC).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a system for estimating acoustic noise levels. The invention may advantageously be applied in systems comprising multiple audio communication devices, such as e.g. telephones, mobile phones, headsets and headset base stations. It is an object of the present invention to provide respectively a method for estimating acoustic noise levels and a system for estimating acoustic noise levels, which enable a more efficient use of resources and may reduce cluttering in offices and other working environments than the prior art.

Abstract: A communication device (1, 15, 25, 35) comprising a housing (2) with a housing wall (50) bounding a space (7). The housing (2) comprises a first housing part (3) and a second housing part (4), which are joined along a dividing line (40), whereby a first abutment face (41) of the first housing part (3) abuts a second abutment face (42) of the second housing part (4) along the dividing line (40). A first microphone transducer (8) is arranged in the housing (2). The first microphone transducer (8) comprises a microphone opening (9), which is connected to the space (7). The space (7) is communicating with the surroundings via a peripheral line (47) of housing openings (39) in the outer side (44) of the housing wall (50) arranged along the dividing line (40), and housing channels (46) extending between the housing openings (39) and the inner side (43) of the housing wall (50). The housing channels (46) and the housing openings (39) are provided as recessions (45; 48) in the first abutment face (41).

Abstract: A headset device (1) comprising an attachment device (2) for attaching the headset device (1) to the head (3) of a user. The headset device (1) also comprises an audio device (4, 6) for transducing audio to an electrical signal or vice versa and adjustment means (7, 8) for adjusting the mutual positions and/or orientations of the attachment device (2) and the audio device to (4, 6) to a user-specific position, in which the headset device (1) is adjusted to the geometry of the users head (3). The adjustment means (7, 8) comprises selecting means (9; 10; 20; 41) for storing a first user-specific position, whereby a user quickly can readjust the headset device (1) from a non-user-specific position or other user-specific position to the first user-specific position.

Abstract: A battery powered electronic device (1) comprising a housing (2) and a movable part (3) extending from the housing (2). The movable part (3) is movably attached to the housing (2), such that it can be moved between a compact position and an extended position. The electronic device comprises a switch, which is adapted to sense, whether the movable part (3) is in the compact position or not, and the switch is utilized to switch the electronic device (1) On, when the movable part (3) is in the extended position, and Off, when the movable part (3) is in the compact position. The electronics of the device (1) is adapted to be set to off or into a low-power shipping mode, all though the movable part (3) is in the extended position.

Abstract: A communication headset (1, 15, 25, 35) comprising a housing (2) and a peripheral slot (5) extending along the periphery (30) of the housing (2) in an intersecting plane (6) that intersects the housing (2). A space (7) extends in the intersecting plane (6) and communicates with the slot (5). A porous material (11) is arranged in the space (7), and a first microphone transducer (8) is arranged in the housing (2). The first microphone transducer (8) comprises a microphone opening (9), which is connected to the space (7). The peripheral slot (5) extends along the main part of the periphery (30) of the housing (2).
