    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate generally to electrical and electronic hardware, computer software, wired and wireless network communications, and wearable computing and audio devices for communication audio. More specifically, disclosed are an apparatus and a method for processing audio signals to include spatially modulated message audio signals as a portion of a monaural signal. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving a message for a loudspeaker. The method can determine whether an audio signal is in communication with the loudspeaker and a type of a message of the message. Message audio for the message can be spatially modulated as a function of the type of message. A mono-spatial audio signal can be formed based the audio signal and the spatially-modulated message. Thus, a monaural audio signal can be modulated to generate mono-spatial effects for presenting the messages.

    Abstract: A grand central architecture for an all-in-one consumer electronics (CE) media device may include a single IR/RF/Microphone handheld remote control for controlling and/or displaying information for all CE devices of a user(s) in concert with the all-in-one CE media device (e.g., a media player) operative for playback of one or more media formats including but not limited to optical discs, audio and/or video, images, music, files, streaming media content, stored media content, and other content. The all-in-one CE media device does not include internal and/or dedicated power amplifiers to drive speakers or other types of transducers. The all-in-one CE media device may wirelessly communicate RF signals to one or more speakers/transducers that either include their own dedicated internal power amplifiers or are connected with an external power amplifier. The all-in-one CE media device may wirelessly communicate with one or more microphones and/or speakers and apply algorithms for optimizing audio quality.

    Abstract: Various embodiments relate generally to electrical and electronic hardware, computer software, wired and wireless network communications, and audio and speaker systems. More specifically, disclosed are an apparatus and a method for processing signals for optimizing audio, such as 3D audio, by adjusting the filtering for cross-talk cancellation based on listener position and/or orientation. In one embodiment, an apparatus is configured to include a plurality of transducers, a memory, and a processor configured to execute instructions to determine a physical characteristic of a listener relative to the origination of the multiple channels of audio, to cancel crosstalk in a spatial region coincident with the listener at a first location, to detect a change in the physical characteristic of the listener, and to adjust the cancellation of crosstalk responsive to detecting the change in the physical characteristic to establish another spatial region at a second location.

    Abstract: Techniques associated with amplifying orientation changes for enhanced motion detection by a motion sensor are described, including structures configured to enhance detection of motion, the structure having an articulator configured to amplify a motion and a pin configured to apply a force on a pivot point on the articulator, a motion sensor coupled to the structure and configured to detect motion of the structure, and circuitry configured to translate data associated with rotational motion of the articulator into a movement of an adjacent surface. In some embodiments, a method includes coupling a motion sensor to a skin surface using an articulator, the articulator configured to rotate in multiple planes, detecting rotational motion of the articulator using the motion sensor, and deriving data associated with movement on the skin surface.
