This application discloses a device to project sound to a specific person while keeping the sound away from others nearby. The device has various parametric speakers arranged in a pattern to project sounds in a narrow field while preventing dispersion of sounds to nearby areas. The device can be connected to other electronic equipment by wires or wirelessly, and can be removed and used in different settings. This device has particular application in delivering sounds to infants and toddlers to sooth them while the same sounds are not heard by adults nearby.

A voice conversation apparatus includes a microphone configured to convert a voice of the one speaking person into a voice signal, modulation means configured to modulate the voice signal into a signal using ultrasound as a carrier wave, sound wave emission means configured to emit the signal modulated by the modulation means as a sound wave using ultrasound as a carrier wave, alignment means used by the one speaking person to make alignment so that the sound wave emission means is oriented to another voice conversation apparatus, pairing means configured to perform a pairing process of connecting the voice conversation apparatus to the other voice conversation apparatus by near-field communication, and control means configured to receive an instruction to start a conversation from the one speaking person and to, when the pairing process is successful, cause the sound wave emission means to emit the sound wave.

Methods and systems are provided for audio devices with enhanced directional operations. In a system that includes one or more audio output components, positioning information associated with at least a part of a user's body may be determined, the positioning information including at least orientation related information. The one or more audio output components may be controlled based on the determined positioning information, with the determined positioning information corresponding to a positional nature of the user within a three-dimensional space around the user, and where the controlling includes providing a three-dimensional audio environment according to the user.

Different embodiments on hearing enhancement enhancing a user's hearing. For example, a system can include an interface unit with a directional speaker and a microphone. The microphone captures input audio signals that are transformed into ultrasonic signals. The speaker transmits the ultrasonic signals, which are transformed into output audio signals by interaction with air. At least part of the output audio signals is modified to enhance the hearing of the user. Based on the system, the user's ear remains free from any inserted objects and thus is free from annoying occlusion effects. Compared to existing hearing aids, the system is relatively inexpensive. In another embodiment, the system can also be used as a phone. In another embodiment, the system can also access audio signals from other portable or non-portable instruments, wired or wirelessly, such as from home entertainment units, phones, microphones at a conference or speakers at a movie theater.

An audio system includes at least one sound generation device having at least an acoustic transducer; and an electronic integrated circuit. A communication bus is connected to the at least one sound generation device and is configured to communicate a digital signal comprised of one or more audio streams and control signals. A power bus is connected to the at least one sound generation device. The acoustic transducer includes at least one of the following groups: a membrane and an acoustic modulator; or a membrane, acoustic resonator, and acoustic coupler. The electronic integrated circuit is constructed and arranged to receive the digital signal and generate an analog electric signal to operate the acoustic transducer to generate an audio signal in accordance with the control signal.
