Abstract
Provided are communication devices having adaptable features and methods for implementation. One device includes at least one adaptable component and a processor configured to detect an external cue relevant to operation of the at least one adaptable component, to determine a desired state for the at least one adaptable component corresponding to the external cue, and then to dynamically adapt the at least one adaptable component to substantially produce the desired state. One adaptable component comprises at least one adaptable speaker system. Another adaptable component comprises at least one adaptable antenna.
Claims15
A speaker system, comprising:
- a speaker;
- and
- circuitry configured to:
- detect an echo of an output from the speaker reflected by an object outside the speaker system;
- determine, based on the echo, a proximity of the speaker system to the object comprising a human ear canal;
- control an operating state of the speaker system based on the determined proximity;
- detect audible movement of the object from vibrations in the human ear canal corresponding to speech by a user of the speaker system;
- and
- apply noise cancellation to the speaker system based at least on the detected audible movement.
A speaker system, comprising:
- a speaker;
- and
- circuitry configured to:
- detect an echo of an output from the speaker reflected by an object outside the speaker system;
- determine, based on the echo, a proximity of the speaker system to the object comprising a human ear canal;
- maintain an operating state of the speaker system in an on state when the speaker system is determined to be proximate to the object;
- detect audible movement of the object from vibrations in the human ear canal corresponding to speech by a user of the speaker system;
- and
- apply noise cancellation to the speaker system based at least on the detected audible movement.
The speaker system of 13, wherein the circuitry is further configured to provide a test signal to the speaker system, and wherein the output from the speaker system comprises the test signal.
