Acoustic transducer assembly disposed in vehicle seat

A method, comprising:

• receiving information indicative of a particular position of an adjustable headrest wing pivotally coupled to a seat headrest;
• determining, by a controller for the particular position of the headrest wing, one or more parameters for an output of at least one of:
• (i) a first acoustic transducer disposed within the seat headrest, and (ii) a second acoustic transducer disposed within the adjustable headrest wing,
• wherein the one or more parameters are determined in accordance with a target acoustic distribution specific to a relative position of the first acoustic transducer with respect to the second acoustic transducer;
• and
• adjusting an output of at least one of the first and second acoustic transducers in accordance with the one or more parameters.

One or more machine-readable storage devices having encoded thereon computer readable instructions for causing one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• receiving information indicative of a particular position of an adjustable headrest wing coupled to a seat headrest by a pivot, the particular position being one of multiple positions within an angle range around the pivot;
• determining, for the particular position of the headrest wing, one or more parameters for an output of at least one of:
• (i) a first acoustic transducer disposed within the seat headrest, and (ii) a second acoustic transducer disposed within the adjustable headrest wing,
• wherein the one or more parameters are determined in accordance with a target acoustic distribution specific to a relative position of the first acoustic transducer with respect to the second acoustic transducer;
• and
• adjusting at least one of the first and second acoustic transducers in accordance with the one or more parameters.

A system comprising:

• a seat headrest;
• an adjustable headrest wing disposed in front of the seat headrest, the headrest wing being pivotally coupled to the seat headrest and adjustable to one of multiple positions;
• at least two acoustic transducers disposed within the seat headrest, the at least two acoustic transducers configured to radiate acoustic output through a corresponding acoustic channel disposed between the acoustic transducer and an external surface of the seat headrest;
• and
• a controller configured to adjust, for a given position of the headrest wing, one or more parameters of the at least two acoustic transducers in accordance with a target acoustic distribution, specific to relative positions of the at least two acoustic transducers with respect to one another.
