Abstract: Activity attainment techniques and devices are configured for use with a data-capable wearable or carried device. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving data representing an activity profile including one or more activities, an activity including data representing a quantity of motion actions, a quantity of time units and an activity type configured to combine to establish a target score. The method includes acquiring data representing parameters associated with activities, determining a first score for a first activity associated with the activity profile, determining a second score for a second activity, and calculating an activity score at a processor. Also, the method can include modifying the activity profile to change the target score, and causing presentation of a representation of the activity score or a derivative value thereof.

Abstract: A voice activity detector (VAD) combines the use of an acoustic VAD and a vibration sensor VAD as appropriate to the conditions a host device is operated. The VAD includes a first detector receiving a first signal and a second detector receiving a second signal. The VAD includes a first VAD component coupled to the first and second detectors. The first VAD component determines that the first signal corresponds to voiced speech when energy resulting from at least one operation on the first signal exceeds a first threshold. The VAD includes a second VAD component coupled to the second detector. The second VAD component determines that the second signal corresponds to voiced speech when a ratio of a second parameter corresponding to the second signal and a first parameter corresponding to the first signal exceeds a second threshold.

Abstract: A method and system for removing acoustic noise removal (Fig. 5) from human speech is described. Acoustic noise is removed regardless of noise type, amplitude, or orientation. The system includes a processor (30) coupled among microphones (1, 2) and a voice activation detection ("V AD") element (104). The processor executes denoising algorithms that generate transfer functions. The processor (30) receives acoustic data from the microphones (1, 2) and data from the VAD (104) indicates voicing activity and when the VAD indicates no voicing activity. The transfer functions are used to generate a denoised data stream.

Abstract: Voice Activity Detection (VAD) devices, systems and methods are described fo r use with signal processing systems to denoise acoustic signals. Components o f a signal processing system and/or VAD system receive acoustic signals and voice activity signals. Control signals are automatically generated from dat a of the voice activity signals. Components of the signal processing system and/or VAD system use the control signals to automatically select a denoisin g method appropriate to data of frequency subbands of the acoustic signals. Th e selected denoising method is applied to the acoustic signals to generate denoised acoustic signals.

Abstract: Communication systems are described, including both portable handset and headset devices, which use a number of microphone configurations to receive acoustic signals of an environment. The microphone configurations include, f or example, a two-microphone array including two unidirectional microphones, an d a two-microphone array including one unidirectional microphone and one omnidirectional microphone. The communication systems also include Voice Activity Detection (VAD) devices to provide information of human voicing activity. Components of the communications systems receive the acoustic signals and voice activity signals and, in response, automatically generate control signals from data of the voice activity signals. Components of the communication systems use the control signals to automatically select a denoising method appropriate to data of frequency subbands of the acoustic signals. The selected denoising method is applied to the acoustic signals to generate denoised acoustic signals when the acoustic signal includes speech (101) and noise (102).

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for detecting voiced and unvoiced speech in acoustic signals having varying levels of background noise. The systems (Fig . 3) receive acoustic signals at two microphones (Mic 1, Mic 2), and generate difference parameters between the acoustic signals received at each of the t wo microphones (Mic 1, Mic 2). The difference parameters are representative of the relative difference in signal gain between portions of the receive acoustic signals. The systems identify information of the acoustic signals a s unvoiced speech when the difference parameters exceed a first threshold, and identify information of the acoustic signals as voiced speech when the difference parameters exceed a second threshold. Further, embodiments of the systems include non-acoustic sensors (20) that receive physiological information to aid identifying voiced speech.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present application relate generally to electronic hardware, computer software, wireless communications, network communications, wearable, hand held, and portable computing devices for facilitating communication of information. A wearable personal emergency event transponder includes a processor, data storage, a sensor system, and a communications interface. The transponder processes signals from the sensor system using algorithms included in the data storage and determines if an event related to a medical emergency has occurred to a user wearing the transponder. Upon detecting one or more events, the transponder may selectively communicate one or more datum from the data storage including user specific emergency medical data, user contact data, system data, or some combination of those data. The communication may be by a radio configured to transmit the datum at a low RF power sufficient for near field communication with an external device and/or by a hardwired communications link (e.g., USB).
