Disabling/re-enabling head tracking for distracted user of spatial audio application
Embodiments are disclosed for disabling/re-enabling head tracking for spatial audio applications. In an embodiment, a method comprises: obtaining, using one or more processors of an auxiliary device worn by a user, motion data; tracking, using the one or more processors, the user's head based at least in part on the motion data; determining, using the one or more processors, whether or not the user is walking based at least in part on the motion data; in accordance with determining that the user is walking, determining if a source device configured to deliver spatial audio to the auxiliary device is static for a specified period of time; and in accordance with determining that the user is walking and the source device is static for the specified period of time, disabling the head tracking.
ADJUSTABLE HEADPHONE
The present disclosure provides an adjustable headphone including a head band assembly and two earpieces attached to two ends of the head band assembly, respectively. The head band assembly includes first and second elongate pieces each extending over a portion of the length of the head band assembly. At least one of the first and second elongate pieces is movable along the length of the head band assembly and including a first length portion and a second length portion having a larger bending strength than the first length portion.
Headset with membrane coupling connecting the headband to the earpieces
A headset includes an earpiece coupled to a headband with a membrane coupling. The earpiece includes an outer housing and an audio driver positioned within and coupled to the outer housing. The membrane coupling includes a membrane insert composed of a resilient material. The membrane insert is coupled to the outer housing. A connection pin may extend through a central opening of the membrane insert and into an end of the headband in order to directly couple the end of the headband to the membrane insert in order to couple the outer housing to the end of the headband. The coupling of the end of the headband to the outer housing with the membrane insert in between defines the membrane coupling. The membrane coupling is designed to allow relative movement in six degrees of freedom comprising three orthogonal degrees of translation freedom and three orthogonal degrees of rotational freedom.
ADJUSTABLE HEAD-MOUNTED DISPLAY
An adjustable head-mounted display comprises a head-mounted portion (1), a display portion (2) and a sound outputting portion (3). The display portion (2) comprises two legs (21) and a display (22), one end of each leg (21) is connected to corresponding end of the display (22), and the other end of each leg (21) is rotatably connected to an end of the head-mounted portion (1) on corresponding side. The sound outputting portion (3) comprises a left headphone and a right headphone, wherein the left headphone and the right headphone each comprises an ear cup (32), an ear cup bracket and a sound generator in the ear cup. The ear cup bracket is connected to an end of the head-mounted portion (1) on corresponding side, and the ear cup is connected to the ear cup bracket; and the head-mounted portion (1) is provided with a head-mounted portion length adjustment mechanism. By the present disclosure, the user can adjust the length upon his demand, and the universality will be improved.
BIOLOGICALLY FIT WEARABLE ELECTRONICS APPARATUS AND METHODS
Detachable wearable electronic eyeglasses and head mounted gear with a plurality of electronic functions and interchangeable electronic function, and a wearable computer with optimal weight distribution and stretchable arms.
WEARABLE HEADSET WITH SELF-CONTAINED VOCAL FEEDBACK AND VOCAL COMMAND
A headset includes a wearable body, first and second earphones extending from the wearable body, controls for controlling an external communication/multimedia device wirelessly, a microphone for picking up vocal data from a user of the headset system and a signal processing unit. The signal processing unit includes circuitry for processing the vocal data into a distinctly audible vocal feedback signal, circuitry for enhancing the vocal feedback signal thereby producing an enhanced vocal feedback signal and circuitry for mixing the enhanced vocal feedback signal with audio signals originating from the external communication/multimedia device, thereby producing a mixed output signal and then sending the mixed output signal to the user via the earphones. The external communication/multimedia device comprises a vocal command application and the headset further comprises a vocal command control for sending vocal commands to the external communication/multimedia device and to the vocal command application.
WEARABLE MODULAR TELECOMMUNICATION DEVICE
Wearable electronic device includes a neck loop worn on a neck with two electromechanical units; two in-ear earphones; two earphone cords. Each unit has an earphone cord winding mechanism including (i) a spool for winding the earphone cord; (ii) a double drive mechanism including an electric motor, a reducer, and a spiral spring; (iii) an engagement mechanism for engagement between the drive mechanism and the spool; and (iv) a lock mechanism. One unit has a motor control key for the electric motor and the lock mechanism. One end of the cords is connected to one of the earphones and the other end to one of the spools. The units are mechanically connected to each other to prevent twisting, and to the neck loop so that one of the units is on the left side of the chest, and the other electromechanical unit is on the right side of the chest.
ACOUSTIC OUTPUT APPARATUS
The present disclosure discloses an acoustic output apparatus including at least one acoustic driver, a controller, and a supporting structure. The at least one acoustic driver may be configured to output sounds through at least two sound guiding holes. The at least two sound guiding holes may include a first sound guiding hole and a second sound guiding hole. The controller may be configured to control a phase and an amplitude of the sounds generated by the at least one acoustic driver using a control signal such that the sounds output by the at least one acoustic driver through the first and second sound guiding holes have opposite phases. The supporting structure may be provided with a baffle and configured to support the at least one acoustic driver such that the first and second sound guiding holes are located on both sides of the baffle.
SOUND PRODUCING DEVICES
The present disclosure provides a sound producing device, at least comprising a housing assembly. The housing assembly comprises a housing and a sealing member. The housing is provided with a plug-in hole, and the plug-in hole runs through a side wall of one side of the housing; the sealing member is used for plugging and sealing the plug-in hole; the plug-in hole comprises at least one hole wall segment provided along a plugging direction of the sealing member; the cross-sectional area of a reference cross section of at least part of the at least one hole wall segment perpendicular to the plugging direction of the sealing member increases gradually along the plugging direction; the sealing member is in plugging fit with the at least one hole wall segment.
Acoustic output apparatus
The present disclosure provides an acoustic output apparatus including one or more status sensors, at least one low-frequency acoustic driver, at least one high-frequency acoustic driver, at least two first sound guiding holes, and at least two second sound guiding holes. The status sensors may detect status information of a user. The low-frequency acoustic driver may generate at least one first sound, a frequency of which is within a first frequency range.
