Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that determine that a user is interested in audio content by determining that a movement (e.g., a user's head bob) has a time-based relationship with detected audio content (e.g., the beat of music playing in the background). Some implementations involve obtaining first sensor data and second sensor data corresponding to a physical environment, the first sensor data corresponding to audio in the physical environment and the second sensor data corresponding to a body movement in the physical environment. A time-based relationship between one or more elements of the audio and one or more aspects of the body movement is identified based on the first sensor data and the second sensor data. An interest in content of the audio is identified based on identifying the time-based relationship. Various actions may be performed proactively based on identifying the interest in the content.

There is provided a signal processing apparatus that includes a control unit that executes, on a basis of a waveform signal generated in accordance with a motion of an attachment portion of a sensor attached to a tool or a body, effect processing for the waveform signal or another waveform signal, the waveform signal being output from the sensor.

The present invention discloses an integrated karaoke device, including a microphone and a sound box. The sound box includes a sound chamber containing a loudspeaker. The integrated karaoke device further includes a connecting part made of flexible material that is fixedly connected between a bottom of the microphone and a top of the sound chamber. The use of a flexible material connecting part rather than a solid structural part reduces the transmission to the microphone of sound vibration generated by the sound box. The beneficial effect of implementing the present invention is that a flexible material connecting part is fixedly connected between the bottom of the microphone and the top of the sound chamber, and meanwhile, a gap is kept between the bottom of a printed circuit board (PCB) and the top of the sound chamber; and because the flexible material connecting part can effectively reduce sound vibration, the transmission of vibration to the microphone from the sound box can be effectively eliminated, thereby preventing squealing, and enabling integration of the microphone and the sound box for use in karaoke.

Improvements in a motorized microphone rail system for a musical instrument and more particularly for a percussion instrument such as a drum, marimba or similar musical instrument. The microphone system includes a vibration isolation system. A vertical or horizontal tracking system bridges across supports of a drum or marimba in a vertical or horizontal tracking system. One or more microphones are supported on the first bridging structure. The microphone(s) are positional with a drive screw that is powered by a motor. The microphone can be moved along the supporting rail to alter the sound based upon the phasing of the sound wave between the drum heads or the sound producing elements. Electronic drive and control for operating a motor that positions the microphone is also disclosed.

A system and method for an interactive three piece microphone with customizable features that may be quickly accessed by a user whereby the users' settings are automatically uploaded to the microphone providing a more personalized experience. The microphone may be used in a variety of situations where users may challenge one another as well as collect monetary rewards based on the location and type of performance they have.

An external extended device, an audio processing method and an audio playback method are provided. The external extended device is configured to receive power supplied and a signal transmitted by a television device and the external extended device includes: an integrated physical interface connecting the external extended device and the television device; and a sound-mixing processing chip electrically connected with the integrated physical interface and configured to: acquire an accompaniment audio signal transmitted by the television device via the integrated physical interface; perform sound-mixing processing on a user voice signal gathered by a microphone device and the accompaniment audio signal; and transmit a sound-mixed signal to a power amplifier circuit of the television device via the integrated physical interface.

An immersive device may include a floor reflective mirrored surface, a first wall reflective mirrored surface, a second wall reflective mirrored surface, a third wall reflective mirrored surface, a fourth wall reflective mirrored surface, and a ceiling reflective mirrored surface. The reflective mirrored surfaces may form a perimeter of and bound the reflective chamber. One or more light emitting elements may be configured to emit light into the reflective chamber. A processing unit may be in electrical communication with the light emitting elements. A sound device may be in communication with the processing unit, and the sound device may be configured to output sound to a user within the reflective chamber. An array of sensors, such as: digital camera, microphone, and electrophysiological monitoring devices that may be in communication with the processing unit, and are configured to change the experience of the user within the chamber depending upon the signals from the sensors on the user.
