A system and method of adaptive interface switching in a mobile electronic communications device entails engaging in an audio interface task at the mobile electronic communications device. If during the audio interface task it is detected that at least one microphone or at least one speaker of the mobile electronic communications device is compromised, then the system activates a data link to a wearable communication device associated with a user of the mobile electronic communications device. At least one of a mic and speaker on the wearable communication device is then used to continue the audio interface task.

The present disclosure generally relates to managing phone calls. In some embodiments, an electronic device with a touch screen displays a phone call user interface which includes informational items associated with phone calls as well as other affordances. In some embodiments, the phone call user interface enables a user the electronic device to access various phone call management functions.

Various examples in the present invention relate to an electronic device and a method for reducing noise by utilizing the same, the device and the method connecting a call using a headset, classifying a user voice signal received through the headset into a P voice signal and an N voice signal, applying the same voltage to the P voice signal and the N voice signal by using a noise reduction filter, and enabling the noise induced in the voltage to be removed by synthesizing the P voice signal and the N voice signal. In addition, other examples are possible.

Systems and methods for noise cancelation in a listening area include functionality that activates a microphone of the remote control device of a home entertainment system or a microphone of another mobile device to collect a baseline white noise profile of a user's media content listening area, such as the user's family room, living room or other TV viewing space. This baseline white noise profile may be used by the user's set-top box (STB) or other receiving device to generate the corresponding noise canceling audio signal to create a noise-canceling effect and a more immersive and enjoyable listening experience for the user. A plurality of audio data samples from which to select, each representing a different baseline profile of ambient white noise associated with the media content listening area, may be generated and used for different devices that generate white noise.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for systems and methods for reducing battery consumption for portable devices with microphones. Example methods may include receiving, by a user device, a first indication from a first device indicating that voice data is forthcoming, where the first device comprises a first battery and a first microphone. Example methods may include determining that a first battery level of the first battery is less than a threshold, and determining that a second device is in an active state, where the second device comprises a second battery and a second microphone. Methods may include sending the second device a second indication to activate the second microphone, receiving the voice data from the second device, and causing presentation of a digital response to a request associated with the voice data at the first device.

An apparatus comprising: an input configured to receive at least one audio signal input from at least one microphone; at least one microphone configuration determiner configured to provide for the at least one microphone a location on the apparatus; at least one sensor configured to provide at least one orientation of the apparatus; a recording mode determiner configured to determine at least one recording mode for the apparatus based on the location of the at least one microphone and the at least one orientation of the apparatus; a recording mode controller configured to determine at least one recording parameter for the at least one audio signal input from the at least one microphone based in the at feast one recording mode; and digital signal processor configured to apply the at least one recording parameter to the at least one audio signal input.

Disclosed in the embodiments of the present application are a microphone hole blockage detection method and a related product. The method may include: a microphone of a first wireless earphone, acquiring audio of a preset frequency band, the preset frequency band being an audible sound frequency band; determining a first volume parameter of the audio acquired by the first wireless earphone; and, on the basis of the first volume parameter, determining that the microphone of the first wireless earphone is in a blocked hole state.

A device may process, after obtaining an image that includes image data concerning a product, first audio data obtained concerning a first utterance of a user of a user device, and first video data obtained concerning a first eye gaze direction of the user, to determine a first reaction of the user to the image. The device may process, after causing display of the image and an overlay superimposed on the image by the user device, second audio data obtained concerning a second utterance of the user, and second video data obtained concerning a second eye gaze direction of the user, to determine a second reaction of the user to the image and the overlay. The device may retrain a product recommendation model using the first reaction and the second reaction, and may generate and cause display of a product recommendation based on the product recommendation model.

A system configured to detect a tap event on a surface of a device only using microphone audio data. For example, instead of using a physical sensor to detect the tap event, the device may detect a tap event in proximity to a microphone based on a power level difference between two or more microphones. When a power ratio exceeds a threshold, the device may detect a tap event and perform an action. For example, the device may output an alarm and use a detected tap event as an input to delay or end the alarm. In some examples, the device may detect a tap event using a plurality of microphones. Additionally or alternatively, the device may distinguish between multiple tap events based on a location of the tap event, enabling the device to perform two separate actions depending on the location.

A portable electronic device with multiple cameras are disclosed. The device may be used for recording 360-degree images or video combined with spatial audio to provide an immersive recording and viewing experience. The electronic device may include a processor, a memory and at least ten cameras connected to it. The cameras may be placed on the front, rear, top, bottom, left and right sides of the electronic device. Each of the cameras may capture a plurality of images simultaneously and transmit them to the processor. Further, the processor may process these images to generate a 360-degree image or video output.
