Abstract
A noise cancelling speaker bulb device and system features the form factor of a light bulb that attaches directly to lighting fixtures in place of a light bulb(s) that may include one or more noise cancelling speakers and can include a lighting fixture. The speaker system may be mounted or integrated into a floor standing or tabletop fixture (i.e. table lamp), suspended or built into a ceiling or support, or mounted to a wall or other furniture (ceiling lamp). The system is designed to cancel out noise, play music or announcements if desired, and providing lighting if desired. The system may be in communication with external microphones and may be controlled using a control interface, such as a remote control.
Claims25
A noise cancelling system, comprising:
- a first noise cancelling speaker;
- wherein said first noise cancelling speaker comprises:
- at least one first loudspeaker;
- at least one first microphone, which is configured to sense and measure a first ambient noise;
- and a first active noise cancelling module, which is configured to be in communication with said at least one first loudspeaker and said at least one first microphone;
- wherein said first active noise cancelling module processes said first ambient noise to create a first negative output audio;
- wherein said first negative output audio is configured to be projected from said at least one first loudspeaker;
- and
- wherein said first negative output audio, when projected from said at least one first loudspeaker, destructively interferes with said first ambient noise.
A noise cancelling system, comprising:
- a first noise cancelling speaker;
- wherein said first noise cancelling speaker comprises:
- at least one first loudspeaker;
- at least one first microphone, which is configured to sense and measure a first ambient noise;
- and a first active noise cancelling module, which is configured to be in communication with said at least one first loudspeaker and said at least one first microphone;
- wherein said first active noise cancelling module processes said first ambient noise to create a first negative output audio;
- wherein said first negative output audio is configured to be projected from said at least one first loudspeaker;
- and
- wherein said first negative output audio, when projected from said at least one first loudspeaker, destructively interferes with said first ambient noise;
- a noise cancelling speaker slave device;
- wherein said noise cancelling speaker slave device comprises:
- at least one slave loudspeaker, which is configured to be in communication with said first active noise cancelling module;
- and at least one slave microphone, which is configured to be in communication with said first active noise cancelling module, and which is configured to sense and measure a slave ambient noise;
- wherein said first active noise cancelling module processes said slave ambient noise to create a slave negative output audio;
- wherein said slave negative output audio is configured to be projected from said at least one slave loudspeaker;
- and
- wherein said slave negative output audio, when projected from said at least one slave loudspeaker, destructively interferes with said slave ambient noise;
- wherein said noise cancelling speaker slave device is configured to be in communication with said first noise cancelling speaker, such that they work together to destructively interfere with said first ambient noise and slave ambient noise.
A noise cancelling system, comprising:
- a first noise cancelling speaker;
- wherein said first noise cancelling speaker comprises:
- at least one first loudspeaker;
- at least one first microphone, which is configured to sense and measure a first ambient noise;
- a first active noise cancelling module, which is configured to be in communication with said at least one first loudspeaker and said at least one first microphone;
- at least one first adjustable loudspeaker base;
- and at least one first adjustable microphone base;
- wherein said first active noise cancelling module processes said first ambient noise to create a first negative output audio;
- wherein said first negative output audio is configured to be projected from said at least one first loudspeaker;
- and
- wherein said first negative output audio, when projected from said at least one first loudspeaker, destructively interferes with said first ambient noise;
- wherein said first noise cancelling speaker is configured to be engaged to or in one or more structures selected from the group of structures consisting of one or more of:
- a wall;
- a headboard;
- and combinations thereof;
- wherein said at least one first loudspeaker is mounted on said at least one first adjustable loudspeaker base;
- wherein said at least one first microphone is mounted on said at least one first adjustable microphone base;
- wherein said at least one first adjustable loudspeaker base is configured to be adjustable so as to adjust an angle of said at least one first loudspeaker, thereby adjusting said first negative output audio, such that said first negative output audio is configured to destructively interfere with said first ambient noise;
- and
- wherein said at least one first adjustable microphone base is configured to adjust an angle of said at least one first microphone to improve sensing and measuring of said first ambient noise.
