Abstract:
A voice activation system is described including a first voice activity detector for receiving a first signal from a microphone; a second voice activity detector for receiving a second signal from a speaker; a voice detector output coupled to the output of the first voice activity detector and the second voice activity detector. The first detector and the second detector are operable to generate an output signal in response to a candidate speech signal received on the respective detector inputs and the voice activation system is configured to generate a voice detector output signal when at least one of the first detector output and the second detector output indicate that speech has been detected. The voice activation system may reduce the average power consumption and increase the recognition rate of an always-on voice activation solution for headsets or other mobile audio devices.
Abstract:
In an example embodiment, an apparatus includes an enclosure having a loudspeaker mounted therein. The apparatus also includes an IC package mounted inside the enclosure. The IC package includes an amplifier configured to amplify an input audio signal, received at an input of the amplifier, to produce a drive signal. The amplifier is configured to drive the loudspeaker with the drive signal via an output of the amplifier. The IC package also includes a pressure sensor configured to output a status signal, indicative of a sound pressure level inside the enclosure, from an output terminal of the pressure sensor. The apparatus also includes an audio processing circuit connected to the amplifier and configured to adjust strength of the drive signal produced by the amplifier, as a function of the sound pressure level indicated by the status signal.

Abstract:
One example discloses an acoustic pairing device, comprising: an acoustic processor configured to receive a first acoustic signal and a second acoustic signal; a signal comparison module configured to identify a propagation delay or amplitude difference between the first and second acoustic signals; and a pairing module configured to output a pairing signal if the propagation delay or amplitude difference is between a first value and a second value. Another example discloses a method for acoustic pairing between a first device and a second device, executed by a computer programmed with non-transient executable instructions, comprising: receiving a propagation delay or amplitude difference between a first acoustic signal and a second acoustic signal; pairing the first and second devices if the propagation delay or amplitude difference is between a first value and a second value.
