Title: Pinna proximity detection
Inventor: VIRAL PARIKH
IPC: H04R3/00
Filed: 2019-08-19
Abstract: Pinna proximity detection of a headset, comprising: a headset speaker SPKR; a first ‘reference’ microphone R (fig 1A) producing a first signal indicative of headset ambient sound; a second ‘error’ microphone E producing a second signal indicative of sound present at the headset speaker; and, circuitry for comparing first and second sound energies of first and second signals to determine whether the headset is on a user's ear. Linear-to-decibel converters 94, 100 convert envelope detected 92, 98, bandpass-filtered 90, 96 signals into values given in terms of decibels. A difference between the decibel values of the first and second signals is compared to a threshold value 120 to output a control signal to proximity decision block 60 to determine whether the headset is on a user's ear. Microphone R enables pinna proximity detection using forward or reverse passive occlusion. By comparing the sound energies in specific frequency bands at both microphones R and E, PPD 32 can use the physical properties of a headset to detect pinna proximity, and the fact higher frequencies (2 KHz to 5 KHz) or lower frequencies (below 100 Hz) show significant difference when the headset is on-ear (sound-blocking effect, bone conduction effects) and off-ear.
