Abstract
Two or more microphone arrays in an ear-worn device such as an earbud may detect a sound generated by a source body. A processor of the earbud may generate, based on the sound, a noise cancellation data package including an anti-phase sound. The processor may transmit the noise cancellation data package to a second earbud to cancel the sound for another body.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a first ear-worn device, comprising:
- two or more microphone arrays to detect a sound generated by a source body;
- and
- a processor operable to execute one or more instructions to cause the processor to:
- generate, based on the sound, a noise cancellation data package comprising an anti-phase sound;
- and
- transmit the noise cancellation data package to a second ear-worn device to cancel the sound for another body.

A method, comprising:
- detecting, by two or more microphone arrays in of a first ear-worn device, a sound generated by a source body;
- generating, by a processor of the first ear-worn device based on the sound, a noise cancellation data package comprising an anti-phase sound;
- and
- transmitting, by the processor, the noise cancellation data package to a second ear-worn device to cancel the sound for another body.
1 more element
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by a processor of an ear-worn device, cause the processor to:
- detect, by two or more microphone arrays in the ear-worn device, a sound generated by a source body;
- generate, based on the sound, a noise cancellation data package comprising an anti-phase sound;
- and
- transmit the noise cancellation data package to a second ear-worn device to cancel the sound for another body.
