    摘要: An image capture apparatus that is wearable on a neck of a user, comprises first to fourth microphones provided on the mount portion, and a sound processing unit. The first and second microphones are provided at positions for collecting sound on a left side of the user who is wearing the image capture apparatus. The third and fourth microphones are provided at positions for collecting sound on a right side of the user who is wearing the image capture apparatus. The sound processing unit generates a first sound signal having a directivity for the left ear of the user, based on sound signals obtained by the first and second microphones, and generates a second sound signal having a directivity for the right ear of the user, based on sound signals obtained by the third and fourth microphones.

    摘要: The operational amplifier disclosed includes an input stage configured to receive power from a floating supply circuit in in a low voltage range that can float according to the common mode voltage at the input. The low voltage supply facilitates the use of low voltage components that can improve the precision of the operational amplifier by lowering the offset voltage. The input stage utilizes a first gain block and a second gain block. The first gain block is configured to have a low offset voltage while the second gain h block is configured to have a high gain. Dividing these aspects over separate gain blocks improves the precision and noise performance of the operational amplifier. The operational amplifier has high gain at low frequencies and at high frequencies due to a topology that combines a low gain, high bandwidth path with a high gain, low bandwidth path at the output.

    摘要: A method and system for a headset with programmable modes, where the headset comprises a beamforming microphone: sensing an ambient sound level near the headset, and configuring the headset in one of a plurality of modes by configuring a beam pattern of the beamforming microphone based on at least the sensed ambient noise level. A user of the headset may configure the headset in the one of the plurality of modes or it may be automatically configured. The beamforming microphone may comprise an array of sound sensing elements. The headset may be configured in a quiet mode when the sensed ambient sound level is below that of a desired sound source and may be configured with a wide beam pattern. The headset may be configured in a loud mode when the sensed ambient sound level is above that of a desired sound source.

    摘要: Systems and methods for automatically adjusting device volume based on learned volume preferences are disclosed herein. A first device receives a wireless signal from a second device. A signal strength of the wireless signal is determined, and a location of the second device is determined based on the signal strength of the wireless signal. Historical volume level data for the first device is retrieved from memory. A target volume level for the first device is determined based on the location of the second device and the historical volume level data. A volume setting of the first device is automatically adjusted to the target volume level.
