Embodiment Construction

[0064] What is claimed and disclosed herein is intended to be applicable to a wide variety of personal acoustic devices, that is, configured to place at least a portion of the device in close proximity to at least one of the user's ears, and to acoustically A device used in a manner of outputting sound to the at least one ear or manipulating ambient sound reaching the at least one ear. It should be noted that although various specific embodiments of personal acoustic devices, such as listening headphones, noise canceling headphones, two-way communication headphones, earphones, earbuds, wireless headphones (also called are "ear receivers") and ear protectors, but the presentation of specific embodiments is intended to facilitate understanding by way of example and should not be viewed as limiting the scope of the disclosure or coverage of the claims.

Abstract

Apparatus and method for determining an operating state of an earpiece of a personal acoustic device and / or the entirety of the personal acoustic device by analyzing signals output by at least an inner microphone disposed within a cavity of a casing of the earpiece and an outer microphone disposed on the personal acoustic device in a manner acoustically coupling it to the environment outside the casing of the earpiece. Apparatus and method for determining an operating state of an earpiece of a personal acoustic device and / or the entirety of the personal acoustic device through tests to determine the current operating state, wherein the tests differ depending on a current power mode of the personal acoustic device, and wherein at least one lower power test is employed during at least one lower power mode. Apparatus and method for determining an operating state of a personal acoustic device by receiving a signal from one or more movement sensors indicating movement detected by the one or more movement sensors, wherein the one or more movement sensors are disposed on portions of the personal acoustic device structured to be worn on a user's head to enable the one or more movement sensors to detect rotational movements of a user's head when the personal acoustic device is in position on the user's head such that a casing of the personal acoustic device is adjacent an ear of the user. Apparatus and method for determining an operating state of a personal acoustic device by receiving signal from first and second movement sensors indicating movement detected by each, wherein the first movement sensor is disposed on a portion of the personal acoustic device structured to be worn on a user's head to enable the first movement sensors to detect movements of a user's head when the personal acoustic device is in position on the user's head such that a casing of the personal acoustic device is adjacent an ear of the user.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to the determination of placement of at least one earpiece of a personal acoustic device relative to a user's ear to acoustically output sound to the ear and / or to modify ambient sound reaching the ear. Background technique [0002] People who listen to audio provided electronically (for example, from a CD player, radio, or MP3 player), people who simply seek acoustic isolation from unwanted or harmful sounds in a given environment, and people who are busy with two-way It has become common for communicating persons to employ personal acoustic devices (ie, devices configured to be placed in close proximity to at least one of the user's ears) to perform these functions. For a person listening to audio provided electronically with a personal acoustic device in the form of headphones or headphones, the audio is provided through at least two audio channels (e.g., stereo audio with a left and right channel) to It has become co...
