Abstract
A system, processor implemented method, and non-transitory computer readable medium for playing a synthetic stereo on a mono headset with motion sensing. The method comprises a processor receiving movement data from an accelerometer detecting movement of the mono headset. In response to receiving movement data, the processor mixing an output audio signal comprising a left channel signal and a right channel signal and providing the output audio signal comprising a combination of the left channel signal and right channel signal based at least in part on detected movement of the mono headset. The output audio signal having either a substantially equal or unequal combination of the left channel signal and right channel signal based at least in part on detected movement of the mono headset.
Claims17
A mono headset comprising:
- an accelerometer configured to detect movement of the mono headset;
- a single speaker;
- and a processor communicatively coupled to the single speaker and the accelerometer, the processor configured to mix an output audio signal comprising a left channel signal and a fight channel signal and to provide the output audio signal to the single speaker, the output audio signal comprising a combination of the left channel signal and fight channel signal based at least in part on detected movement of the mono headset wherein the processor provides the output audio signal to the single speaker with the output audio signal comprising substantially equal balance of the left channel signal and right channel signal in the event the accelerometer detects a sustained state of no movement.
A processor implemented method for adjusting audio in a mono headset, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, movement data from an accelerometer detecting movement of the mono headset;
- mixing, by the processor, of an output audio signal comprising a left channel signal and a right channel signal;
- and
- providing, to a single speaker, the output audio signal comprising a combination of the left channel signal and right channel signal based at least in part on detected movement of the mono headset wherein providing the output audio signal to the single speaker comprises providing the output audio signal comprising substantially equal balance of the left channel signal and right channel signal in the event the accelerometer detects a sustained state of no movement.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions for configuring a mono headset to execute instructions on a processor to:
- receiving movement data from an accelerometer detecting movement of the mono headset;
- mixing of an output audio signal comprising a left channel signal and a right channel signal;
- and
- providing, to a single speaker, the output audio signal comprising a combination of the left channel signal and right channel signal based at least in part on detected movement of the mono headset wherein providing the output audio signal to the single speaker comprises providing the output audio signal comprising substantially equal balance of the left channel signal and right channel signal in the event the accelerometer detects a sustained state of no movement.
