  • Patent number: 11849280
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for bone conduction detection are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes memory; machine-readable instructions; and processor circuitry to execute the machine-readable instructions to associate a vibration signal with a voice or with motion, the vibration signal transmitted via a bone structure of a user; permit access to a user application based on the association of the vibration signal with the voice; and deny access to the user application based on the association of the vibration signal with the motion.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 6, 2022
    Date of Patent: December 19, 2023
    Assignee: Intel Corporation
    Inventors: Beverly Klemme, Rajashree Baskaran, Sergio E. Sian

  • Patent number: 11356772
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for bone conduction detection are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes a first sensor to output a first vibration signal associated with a first bone structure of a user, a second sensor to output a second vibration signal associated with a second bone structure of the user, memory, and at least one processor to execute instructions to determine a sound associated with at least one of the first vibration signal or the second vibration signal originated external to the user; determine a direction from which the sound originated relative to the user; and generate a signal to cause an output device to present an alert to the user, the alert indicative of the direction of the sound.

  • Patent number: 10827261
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for bone conduction detection are disclosed herein. An example wearable device includes a first sensor positioned to generate first vibration information from a bone structure of a user and a second sensor positioned to generate second vibration information from the bone structure of the user. The first vibration information and the second vibration information include sound data and motion data. The motion data is indicative of a motion by the user. The example wearable device includes a signal modifier to generate a modified signal including the sound data based on the first vibration information and the second vibration information. The example wearable device includes a communicator to transmit the modified signal for output via a speaker.
