121 results about "Audio feedback" patented technology

Audio feedback (also known as acoustic feedback, simply as feedback, or the Larsen effect) is a special kind of positive loop gain which occurs when a sound loop exists between an audio input (for example, a microphone or guitar pickup) and an audio output (for example, a power amplified loudspeaker). In this example, a signal received by the microphone is amplified and passed out of the loudspeaker. The sound from the loudspeaker can then be received by the microphone again, amplified further, and then passed out through the loudspeaker again. The frequency of the resulting sound is determined by resonance frequencies in the microphone, amplifier, and loudspeaker, the acoustics of the room, the directional pick-up and emission patterns of the microphone and loudspeaker, and the distance between them. For small PA systems the sound is readily recognized as a loud squeal or screech. The principles of audio feedback were first discovered by Danish scientist Søren Absalon Larsen, hence the name "Larsen Effect".

Real-time communication interface with haptic and audio feedback response

Method for generating haptic and audio feedback responses starts with processor causing communication interface for communication session to be displayed on first and second user interfaces. Communication interface includes first area and second area. Processor detects first touch input on first user interface and second touch input on second user interface and determines location of first touch input being in first area and location of second touch input being in second area. Processor causes first and second user interfaces to generate first audio feedback response associated with first area and second audio feedback response associated with second area. In response to determining that location of first touch input is updated to second area while the location of the second touch input is in second area, processor causes first and second user interfaces to generate enhanced audio feedback response and enhanced haptic response feedback. Other embodiments are described herein.

Interface with tactile and audio feedback responses

The method for generating a tactile feedback response and an audio feedback response begins by causing a communication interface of a communication session to be displayed on a first user interface and a second user interface by a processor. The processor detects a first touch input on the first user interface and a second touch input on the second user interface. The processor monitors the position of the first touch input on the first user interface and the position of the second touch input on the second user interface. The processor determines the distance between the position of the first touch input on the first user interface and the position on the first user interface corresponding to the position of the second touch input on the second user interface. In response to determining that the distance is below a predetermined threshold, the processor causes the first user interface and the second user interface to generate an initial tactile feedback response and an initial audio feedback response. Other embodiments are described herein.

Silent intraoral speech sensing with audio feedback

A processor-implemented method for speech sensing is disclosed. A tongue position sensor (TPS) is embedded palatally in an oral cavity of a person. The TPS detects tongue movement of the person. A barometric sensor and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor are both located in the oral cavity of the person and coupled to the TPS. The TPS, barometric sensor, and IMU sensor together form an intraoral mouthpad that can detect tongue movements, jaw and / or head movements, and breathing of the person. Input from the mouthpad can be analyzed on a processor coupled to the mouthpad. The processor and the mouthpad combine to form an intraoral speech sensing complex. The complex can sense human speech based on the processor output. The complex can sense normal, low-volume, or silent speech of the person. The complex can provide non-blocking audio feedback to the person through a bone conduction speaker.
