Systems and methods for generating a haptic output from an audio signal having a continuous stream of sampled digital audio data are provided. A haptic processing system receives the digital audio data, analyses the digital audio data for processing and extracts haptic signals for generating a haptic effect through an actuator. The method includes passing the digital audio signal on through dynamic processor(s), adjusting the dynamic range of the digital audio signal, extracting the signal envelope of the audio data, synthesising low-frequency signals from the extracted signal envelope, and enhancing the low-frequency content using a resonator. The haptic output is generated by mixing the digital audio signal with outputs from the different modules of the haptic processing system. An analytics module monitors, controls and adjusts the processing of the digital audio signal at the noise gate module, the compressor module and the envelope module to enhance the haptic output.

An audio system with sound-field-type nature sound effect includes: a first primary channel playing device for playing a primary audio signal generated according to a left channel audio signal and/or a right channel audio signal; a first secondary signal circuit for generating a first secondary audio signal according to the left channel audio signal and the right channel audio signal; and a first sound field control playing device connected to the first secondary signal circuit and adapted to play the first secondary audio signal; wherein a first playing delay period exists between the playing of the first secondary audio signal and the playing of the primary audio signal; wherein the first secondary audio signal played by the first sound field control playing device does not undergo audio mixing with the primary audio signal by a first audio mixing circuit.

A multi-channel sound implementation device comprising: a source data analysis unit for analyzing source data; a speaker system analysis unit; a headphone information analysis unit for analyzing information on at least one or more open-ear headphones for outputting sound in a state where the headphones are spaced apart from the ears of a user; an audio signal generation unit for, by using information on the audio signals, information on the speaker system and the information on the open-ear headphones, generating speaker audio signals having at least one channel, which may be reproduced in the speaker system, and generating headphone audio signals, which may be reproduced in the open-ear headphones; and a communication unit for transmitting the speaker audio signals to the speaker system, and transmitting the headphone audio signals to the respective open-ear headphones to which the headphone audio signals correspond.

A low-profile earbud is disclosed that sits securely within an ear of a user. The earbud includes a protruding portion that passes through a channel defined by the tragus and anti-tragus of the ear. In some embodiments, the protruding portion can take the form of a cable configured to supply power and transfer data to the earbud. In some embodiments, the protruding portion can provide additional space for electrical components and sensors supporting the earbud.

An example tiled display imaging system includes a frame and a plurality of tiles supported on the frame in a geometrical configuration for displaying a composite image. Each tile includes a display configured to display a respective portion of the composite image according to image data. Each tile further includes an acoustic coupling device coupled to the display, the acoustic coupling device configured to induce resonance in the display to generate an audio response at the tile according to audio data.

According to various embodiments, a headset may be provided. The headset may include: a speaker having a main sound emission direction; and a movement member configured to effect movement of the speaker along a pre-determined path at least substantially perpendicular to the main sound emission direction upon actuation of the movement member.

An electronic apparatus includes a sensor, a communicator and a processor that, based on sensing an input device being attached, identifies a control function assigned to an area to which the input device is attached, and based on receiving a signal corresponding to a predetermined physical operation from the input device through the communicator, performs a control operation corresponding to the received signal based on the identified control function.
