Devices, systems, and methods are disclosed for customizing audio experiences associated with operation of a ridable device. An electronic device having a processor detects contextual information such as speed, acceleration, ambient noise level, environment type, or location of the ridable device. Sensor data from accelerometers, gyroscopes, microphones, cameras, or positioning systems may be processed to identify these conditions. Based on the detected context, the electronic device determines audio configuration parameters, including selection of audio content, adjustment of volume, blending of tracks, or modification of tempo or pitch. The determined parameters are applied to output audio through one or more speakers of the electronic device, the ridable device, or associated accessories. In some implementations, playback is synchronized with other riders using a common time reference, geo-fence triggers are employed to provide location-specific content, or warning sounds are generated when nearby objects are detected, enhancing both rider enjoyment and environmental awareness.

A spatial audio processing system operable to enable audio signals to be spatially extracted from, or transmitted to, discrete locations within an acoustic space. Embodiments of the present disclosure enable an array of transducers being installed in an acoustic space to combine their signals via inverting physical and environmental models that are measured, learned, tracked, calculated, or estimated. The models may be combined with a whitening filter to establish a cooperative or non-cooperative information-bearing channel between the array and one or more discrete, targeted physical locations in the acoustic space by applying the inverted models with whitening filter to the received or transmitted acoustical signals. The spatial audio processing system may utilize a model of the combination of direct and indirect reflections in the acoustic space to receive or transmit acoustic information, regardless of ambient noise levels, reverberation, and positioning of physical interferers.

An optical measurement system may improve the accuracy with which it estimates distances to surrounding objects by upgrading various aspects of its data path. Spatial resolution may be increased by subdividing histogram buckets or integration registers based on spatial location. Saturation at any point in the data path can be detected and used to stop counting photons in individual pixels, which can then be normalized after a measurement is over. Multiple peaks can be detected using recursive or iterative techniques to identify a largest remaining peak at each stage. Instead of iterating through the histogram memory multiple times, a threshold can be pre-calculated based on an estimated ambient noise level, and peaks can be detected in a single pass.

A vehicle is provided that can mitigate the effects of high ambient noise levels. Using image data and / or other sensor data, the vehicle can determine when the convertible top is in use. The vehicle also determines when the ambient noise level inside the vehicle exceeds a predefined threshold. The vehicle then switches its operating mode to clearly receive and interpret audio input. The vehicle can activate a lip-reading mode and / or a gesture and facial expression recognition mode to identify words spoken by a user. The vehicle can also store mapping information between a gesture and a corresponding verbal command associated with the vehicle. In noisy environments, the vehicle may suggest using gestures / facial expressions instead of verbal commands.

Spatial audio processing allows for the replication of real-world audio behavior. In some cases, audio sources may be associated with respective spatial audio areas that define which other individuals or objects are recipients of audio generated by the respective audio source. For example, individuals or objects within a spatial audio area will receive audio generated by an associated audio source, but not individuals or objects outside of that spatial audio area. These spatial audio areas may be dynamically re-shaped, re-sized, and / or re-located based on contextual analysis includes clustering analysis and evaluating ambient attributes and user intent. Contextual cues may include grouping of audio sources or a purpose of the environment, while ambient attributes may include characteristics of environmental objects (e.g., furniture) as well as temperature, ambient noise levels, and the like. Additionally, in some examples, user intent may be discerned based on movements and audio content.

This invention relates to the field of hearing aids, specifically to a sound processing method for an air conduction hearing aid. The method includes a receiving module, an analysis module, a processing module, and a playback module. The receiving module receives sound waves from the external environment, converting all received sound waves into electrical signals. These converted electrical signals are sent to the analysis module in real time for analysis. The analysis identifies noise signals within the electrical signals and analyzes the magnitude of signal fluctuations. The processing module selects a corresponding amplification factor based on the amplitude of the sound waves. Different sound wave amplitudes require different amplification factors. When the wearer is in a noisy environment, the amplitude of sound waves in the surrounding environment is greater than in a quiet environment. By associating different sound wave amplitudes with different amplification factors, the hearing aid can adjust the volume of the played sound according to the ambient noise level, preventing the wearer's ears from being constantly under high load.

This application provides a call method, an electronic device method, and a computer storage medium. The electronic device can detect the ambient noise level and whether anyone is nearby. When the electronic device is in a quiet environment and a person is detected, it can adjust the amplitude of the call data to reduce the leakage noise of the call audio corresponding to the call data played through the receiver. Alternatively, the electronic device can play a covert sound signal corresponding to the call audio played through the receiver to cancel out the leakage data and prevent people near the electronic device from accessing the private content of the call audio. This method improves the anti-leakage effect and enhances the user's call experience.

A neck-based personal attenuation rating (PAR) system is used for determining a personal attenuation rating (PAR) of a hearing protection device on a listener. Headphones with an audiometer are placed around ears of the listener, and the audiometer is operated to measure an on-ear hearing threshold of the listener without the hearing protection device. The headphones with the audiometer may then be placed around a neck of the listener, and the audiometer is operated to measure an on-neck hearing threshold of the listener with the hearing protection device. A neck-to-ear transfer function is applied to a difference in the measured on-ear and on-neck hearing thresholds to determine a measured personal attenuation rating of the hearing protection device. A determination is made on if an ambient noise level in an area surrounding the listener compromised the measured personal attenuation rating. This determines if the measured PAR is reliable.

This application provides an audio playback method, electronic device, and vehicle, relating to the field of smart cockpit technology. In response to concurrent playback requests for multiple types of audio within the cockpit, the target playback volume for each type of audio is dynamically determined based on the ambient noise level within the cockpit. This can counteract the obscuring effect of ambient noise on key information by increasing the signal-to-noise ratio of the played audio relative to ambient noise when multiple types of audio are mixed and played, thus overcoming the limitation of simply linearly superimposing multiple types of audio, which results in important information being buried. Furthermore, mixing and playing multiple types of audio based on the target playback volume intelligently highlights important audio containing substantial content and reasonably suppresses secondary audio. The dynamic adjustment of the target playback volume of each type of audio in the mixed playback based on the ambient noise level in this solution ensures that users can still clearly obtain important information in noisy environments, significantly improving the auditory experience within the cockpit.
