Abstract
At least one exemplary embodiment so directed to an earpiece (100). The earpiece can include an Ambient Sound Microphone (111) configured to capture ambient sound, an Ear Canal Microphone (123) configured to capture internal sound in the ear canal, a memory (208) configured to record at least a portion of the history of the ambient sound and the internal sound, and a processor (121) configured to save a recent portion of the history responsive to an event.
Claims25
A headset, comprising:
- a left earpiece including,
- a left Ambient Sound Microphone (LASM) configured to capture ambient sound,
- a left Ear Canal Microphone (LECM) configured to capture internal sound in a left ear canal;
- a right earpiece including,
- a right Ambient Sound Microphone (RASM) to capture the ambient sound,
- a right Ear Canal Microphone (RECM) to capture internal sound in a right ear canal;
- a memory configured to record a history of at least a portion of the ambient sound and at least a portion of the internal sound;
- and
- a processor operatively coupled to the left earpiece, the right earpiece and the memory to save a recent portion of the history responsive to an event.
An earpiece, comprising:
- an Ambient Sound Microphone (ASM) configured to capture ambient sound;
- an Ear Canal Microphone (ECM) configured to capture internal sound in an ear canal;
- a memory;
- and
- a processor operatively coupled to the ASM, the ECM and the memory, where the processor is configured to save a portion of at least one of the captured ambient sound and the captured internal sound in response to an event.
An earpiece, comprising:
- an Ambient Sound Microphone (ASM) configured to capture ambient sound;
- an Ear Canal Microphone (ECM) configured to capture internal sound in an ear canal;
- an Ear Canal Receiver (ECR) configured to deliver audio content to the ear canal;
- a memory;
- and
- a processor operatively coupled to the ASM, the ECM and the memory, where the processor is configured to save a portion of at least one of the captured ambient sound, the captured internal sound, and the delivered audio content in response to an event.
A method for audio recording comprising the steps of:
- measuring ambient sound;
- measuring internal sound in an ear canal;
- and
- saving a portion of at least one of the ambient sound and the internal sound in response to an event.
A method for audio recording, the method comprising:
- measuring ambient sound;
- measuring internal sound in an ear canal;
- measuring audio content delivered to the ear canal;
- and
- saving a recent portion of a history responsive to detecting an event that is at least one of a touching of the headset, a recognizing of a voice command, a starting or ending of a phone call, and an abrupt movement of the headset.
