Systems and methods for switching processing modes using gestures

A method for processing detected audio waveforms in a first mode and a second mode, comprising:

• detecting, by a microphone, one or more audio waveforms;
• time stamping the detected one or more audio waveforms;
• detecting, by a gesture detection sensor, one or more touchless gestures corresponding to one or more modes;
• time stamping a starting time and an ending time of each of the detected one or more touchless gestures;
• storing, in a buffer, the one or more audio waveforms and information regarding the one or more touchless gestures;
• and
• entering the second mode and selectively processing, by one or more processors coupled to the microphone, an audio waveform of the one or more audio waveforms in the second mode when a time stamp of the audio waveform is between a first time stamp of a first touchless gesture corresponding to the second mode detected by the gesture detection sensor and a second time stamp associated with one of the one or more touchless gestures.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method for processing detected audio waveforms in a first mode and a second mode, the method comprising:

• detecting one or more audio waveforms;
• time stamping the detected one or more audio waveforms;
• detecting one or more touchless gestures corresponding to one or more modes;
• time stamping a starting time and an ending time of each of the detected one or more touchless gestures;
• storing, in a buffer, the one or more audio waveforms and information regarding the one or more gestures;
• and
• entering the second mode and selectively processing an audio waveform of the one or more audio waveforms in the second mode when a time stamp of the audio waveform is between a first time stamp of a first touchless gesture of the one or more touchless gestures corresponding to the second mode detected by the gesture detection sensor and a second time stamp associated with one of the one or more touchless gestures.

A system for processing detected audio waveforms in a first mode and a second mode, comprising:

• means for detecting one or more audio waveforms and time stamping the one or more audio waveforms;
• means for detecting one or more touchless gestures corresponding to one or more modes and time stamping a starting time and an ending time of each of the detected one or more touchless gestures;
• means for storing the one or more audio waveforms and information regarding the one or more gestures;
• and
• means for entering the second mode and selectively processing an audio waveform from the one or more audio waveforms in the second mode when a time stamp of the audio waveform is between a first time stamp of a first detected touchless gesture of the one or more touchless gestures corresponding to the second mode and a second time stamp associated with one of the one or more touchless gestures.
