An earpiece () and acoustic management module () for in-ear canal echo suppression control suitable is provided. The earpiece can include an Ambient Sound Microphone () to capture ambient sound, an Ear Canal Receiver () to deliver audio content to an ear canal, an Ear Canal Microphone () configured to capture internal sound, and a processor () to generate a voice activity level () and suppress an echo of spoken voice in the electronic internal signal, and mix an electronic ambient signal with an electronic internal signal in a ratio dependent on the voice activity level and a background noise level to produce a mixed signal () that is delivered to the ear canal ().

Method and device for in-ear echo suppression

Earpieces and methods for acute sound detection and reproduction are provided. A method can include measuring an external ambient sound level (xASL), monitoring a change in the xASL for detecting an acute sound, estimating a proximity of the acute sound, and upon detecting the acute sound and its proximity, reproducing the acute sound within an ear canal, where the ear canal is at least partially occluded by an earpiece. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Method and device for acute sound detection and reproduction

Method and device for in ear canal echo suppression

An acquisition system includes a processor, one or more sensors operatively coupled to the processor where the one or more sensors acquire at the ear, on the ear or within an ear canal, one or more of acceleration, blood oxygen saturation, blood pressure or heart-rate, and the one or more sensors configured to monitor a biological state or a physical motion or both for an event. The event can be a detection of a discrepancy when compared with a set of reference data by the one or more sensors or the biological state or the event can be one of a detection of an abrupt movement of a headset operatively coupled to the processor, a change in location of an earpiece operatively coupled the processor, a touching of the headset, a recognizing of a voice command, a starting or ending of a phone call, or a scheduled time.

Method and device for audio recording

A method and system of conferencing can include the steps of initiating a conference call at a communication device with two or more communication devices and selecting to suppress a voice communication of at least one communication device on the conference call where a modified electronic signal is generated with the selected at least one communication device so that the voice communication from the selected at least one communication device is inaudible. The method or system further includes sending the modified electronic signal to at least one other communication device on the conference call. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Method and apparatus for in-ear canal sound suppression

Methods and devices for processing and voice operated control are provided. The method can include performing a non-difference comparison between a first received sound and a second received sound, determining if speech exists based on the comparison, and transmitting or providing a decision that the speech is present to at least one among the device, a cell phone, a media player, or a portable computing device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Method and device for voice operated control

At least one exemplary embodiment is directed to a method and device for voice operated control with learning. The method can include measuring a first sound received from a first microphone, measuring a second sound received from a second microphone, detecting a spoken voice based on an analysis of measurements taken at the first and second microphone, learning from the analysis when the user is speaking and a speaking level in noisy environments, training a decision unit from the learning to be robust to a detection of the spoken voice in the noisy environments, mixing the first sound and the second sound to produce a mixed signal, and controlling the production of the mixed signal based on the learning of one or more aspects of the spoken voice and ambient sounds in the noisy environments.

In one embodiment, a crypto cloudlet is provided that includes a security wrapper to a virtual machine to guarantee secure Input/Output exchange between a client and one or more cryptographic adaptive services powered by a set of virtual CPUs through a single well defined channel, an adaptive service running in the virtual machine that identifies hardware resources necessary to satisfy a cryptographic demand or request, and an Ethernet interface communicatively coupled to the security wrapper providing network channel services for exchange of cryptographic data and commands. The security wrapper presents to the adaptive services the hardware accelerators exposed by the virtual machine. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Scaling of adaptive crypto services within the cloud

A mobile communication environment () can include a mobile device () to measure and send sound pressure level data. The mobile device () can initiate the collection of audio information responsive to detecting a trigger event. Mobile device () can measure or calculate the sound pressure level from the audio information. Metadata including time information and geographic location information can be captured with the collected audio information. Mobile device () can send the sound pressure level data and metadata through a wired or wireless communication path to a database ().
