Abstract
A method for diagnosing a condition of a first headset enclosed in a headset enclosure. The method comprises playing a first audio stimulus through a first speaker of the headset; detecting a first response signal derived by a first transducer; and determining a condition of the first speaker and/or first transducer based on the first response signal.
Claims22
A method for diagnosing a condition of a first headset, the method comprising:
- playing a first audio stimulus through a first speaker of the first headset while the first headset is enclosed in a headset enclosure;
- detecting a first response signal derived by a first transducer while the first headset is enclosed in the headset enclosure;
- and
- determining, by the first headset and/or the headset enclosure, a condition of the first speaker and/or first transducer based on the first response signal, wherein the condition is whether or not the respective first speaker and/or first transducer is impaired.
An apparatus, comprising processing circuitry and a non-transitory machine-readable which, when executed by the processing circuitry, cause the apparatus to:
- play a first audio stimulus through a first speaker of a first headset enclosed in a headset enclosure;
- detect a first response signal derived by a first transducer enclosed in the headset enclosure;
- and
- determine, by the first headset and/or the headset enclosure, a condition of the first speaker and/or the first transducer based on the first response signal, wherein the condition is whether or not the respective first speaker and/or first transducer is impaired.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an electronic apparatus to:
- play a first audio stimulus through a first speaker of a first headset enclosed in a headset enclosure;
- detect a first response signal derived by a first transducer enclosed in the headset enclosure;
- and
- determine, by the first headset and/or the headset enclosure, a condition of the first speaker and/or the first transducer based on the first response signal, wherein the condition is whether or not the respective first speaker and/or first transducer is impaired.
