Abstract:
A nonlinear control system and a speaker protection system are disclosed. In particular, a control system for adapting an audio output from a speaker in the proximity of an object is disclosed. The controller is configured to accept one or more input signals, and one or more estimated states produced by the model to produce one or more control signals. A speaker protection system and a quality control system are disclosed. More particularly, a system for clamping the input to a speaker dependent upon an estimate of the proximity, acoustic volume, and/or acoustic coupling of the speaker to a nearby object is disclosed.

Claim (Index 67):
An audio system for generating a signal indicative of the proximity of a speaker from an ear of a user, the audio system comprising:\n an input for receiving one or more input signals, wherein at least one of the input signals comprises a diagnostic signal; an output for outputting an output signal to the speaker, wherein the output signal is based on the input signals; and an estimator for receiving, from a microphone located facing the speaker, a feedback signal based on the output signal, wherein the estimator generates the signal indicative of the proximity of the speaker from an ear of a user based on the diagnostic signal.
