Abstract
An electronic device includes one or more microphones, one or more sensors, and one or more processors operable with the one or more microphones and the one or more sensors. The one or more processors, upon the one or more sensors detecting the electronic device is disposed within a repository container, such as a pocket, apply an audio signal adjustment function to signals received from the one or more microphones, thereby mitigating noise in the signals caused by the repository container.
Claims20
A method in an electronic device, the method comprising:
- detecting, with one or more sensors of the electronic device, an enclosed condition of the electronic device;
- determining, with one or more processors, an audio signal adjustment function for one or more audio transducers of the electronic device in response to the enclosed condition;
- and
- applying, with the one or more processors, the audio signal adjustment function to signals received from, or delivered to, the one or more audio transducers during the enclosed condition.
An electronic device, comprising:
- one or more microphones;
- one or more loudspeakers;
- one or more sensors;
- and
- one or more processors operable with the one or more microphones and the one or more sensors;
- and
- the one or more processors, upon the one or more sensors detecting the electronic device is disposed within a repository container, applying an audio signal adjustment function to one of signals received from the one or more microphones or delivered to the one or more loudspeakers, thereby mitigating noise in the signals caused by the repository container.
A method in an electronic device, the method comprising:
- monitoring, with one or more processors, an estimated noise index occurring in signals received from one or more microphones of the electronic device;
- detecting, with the one or more processors, when a change in the estimated noise index exceeds a predefined threshold, an in-container condition of the electronic device;
- and
- applying, with the one or more processors, an audio signal adjustment function to one of the signals received from the one or more microphones or other signals delivered to one or more audio output devices to mitigate in-container noise occurring due to the in-container condition.
