    摘要: A system and method is provided for confirming the identity of a user, where the confirmation is made using biometric data. The system includes an internal speaker having an audio port, which is positioned within the ear of the user, and is adapted for producing a signal having one or more frequencies. The system further includes an internal microphone having an audio port, which is positioned within the ear of the user, and is adapted for detecting a resulting signal including the signal produced by the internal speaker and any corresponding signal reflections. A determination is then made as to whether the resulting signal detected by the internal microphone matches the corresponding predetermined expected signal, based upon a prestored hearing profile.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are provided for wirelessly delivering multi-channel content (106) from an electronic device (201), such as a MP3 player or mobile telephone having multi-media capabilities, to a user. A system (200) includes the electronic device (201), a first wireless loudspeaker device (100) and a second wireless loudspeaker device (205). One of the wireless loudspeaker devices (100) establishes a point-to-multipoint communication structure with the electronic device (201) and the other, matching wireless loudspeaker device (205). As such, the electronic device (201) is able to deliver multi-channel content (106) to the first wireless loudspeaker device (100) with a single transceiver (252). The wireless loudspeaker device (100) may then deliver single-channel content to a locally disposed loudspeaker (103). The wireless loudspeaker device (100) also transmits single-channel content (107) to the second wireless loudspeaker device (205). The wireless loudspeaker devices (100,205) are capable of negotiating an ascendancy relationship between themselves, with one wireless loudspeaker device becoming dominant. This relationship may be transferred without interrupting content delivery to the user.

    摘要: An apparatus (300) and method (500) for receiving inputs from a user (102) is provided. The inputs from the user may be head gestures and/or speech of the user. The head gestures refer to movements of the head of the user. The apparatus includes an accelerometer (303) for receiving inputs from the user. The inputs are in form of nasal bone vibrations of the user, which are caused by the head gestures and/or speech of the user. The accelerometer further generates signals corresponding to the inputs received from the user.

    摘要: Loudspeaker systems for handheld devices (2400, 2500) such as cellular telephones (100, 1400, 1600, 1900) are provided. The loudspeaker systems include at least one omnidirectional monopole loudspeaker (404, 1504, 1802, 1918, 1920) and at least one dipole loudspeaker (402, 1502, 1804, 1914, 1916). Filtering is used to compensate for differences between electric-to-acoustic signal transfer functions of the loudspeakers in order to achieve destructive interference of emitted audio in one direction and reinforcement in another direction. Various loudspeaker systems that are reconfigurable from directional mode, to omnidirectional mode are provided. Filtering is also used to add a frequency dependent phase to one signal in order to alter a direction of maximum sound pressure level. Two monopole-dipole pairs can be used to produce a stereo effect. The monopole and dipole loudspeakers can be housed in a detachable loudspeaker accessory (200).

    摘要: An electronic device (100) having a multi-mode acoustic system (120) and a method (500) for radiating sound waves are described herein. The acoustic system (120) generally includes a transducer (530), a first port (510), and a second port (520). The first and second ports (510, 520) may be acoustically coupled to the transducer (530). The second port (520) may be acoustically symmetric relative to the first port (510) such that output from the second port (520) is substantially identical to output from the first port (510).
