Abstract
A wireless earpiece includes a wireless earpiece housing, a processor disposed within the wireless earpiece housing, at least one microphone operatively connected to the processor, and at least one speaker operatively connected to the processor. The processor is configured to receive audio from the at least one microphone, perform processing of the audio to provide processed audio, and output the processed audio to the at least one speaker. The processing of the audio involves identifying body generated sounds generated by a body of a user of the wireless earpiece and removing the body generated sounds.
Claims15
A wireless earpiece comprising:
- a wireless earpiece housing;
- a processor disposed within the wireless earpiece housing;
- a plurality of microphones operatively connected to the processor;
- at least one speaker operatively connected to the processor;
- wherein the processor is configured to receive audio from the plurality of microphones, perform processing of the audio to provide processed audio, and output the processed audio to the at least one speaker;
- wherein the processing of the audio comprises identifying body generated sounds generated by a body of a user of the wireless earpiece and removing the body generated sounds from environmental audio detected by the plurality of microphones;
- wherein the identifying body generated sounds generated by the body of the user of the wireless earpiece is performed based on comparing the audio with a training set of body generated sounds.
A method of removing body generated sounds by an earpiece comprising:
- providing the earpiece, the earpiece comprising a wireless earpiece housing, a processor disposed within the wireless earpiece housing, a plurality of microphones operatively connected to the processor and at least one speaker operatively connected to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to receive audio from the plurality of microphones, perform processing on the audio to provide processed audio, and output the processed audio to the at least one speaker, wherein the identifying body generated sounds generated by the body of the user of the wireless earpiece is performed based on comparing the audio with a training set of body generated sounds;
- receiving audio from the plurality of microphones at the processor;
- performing processing on the audio to provide processed audio, wherein the processing of the audio comprises identifying body generated sounds generated by a body of a user of the wireless earpiece and removing the body generated sounds from environmental audio detected by the plurality of microphones;
- and
- outputting the processed audio to the at least one speaker of the wireless earpiece.
