Abstract:
At least one embodiment is directed to a method for automatically activating ambient sound pass-through in an earphone in response to a detected keyword in the ambient sound field of the earphone user, the steps of the method comprising at least receiving at least one ambient sound microphone (ASM) signal; receiving at least one audio content (AC) signal; and comparing the ASM signal to a keyword and if the ASM signal matches a keyword then an AC gain is created.

Claim (Index 14):
A device capable of receiving and identifying acoustic keywords comprising:\n a microphone; a processor; and processor readable memory, where acoustic characteristics of at least five verbal keywords are stored in the processor readable memory, where the processor is configured to identify an acoustic keyword signal by comparing the acoustic characteristics of the at least five verbal keywords to an acoustic signal sent from the microphone, where the processor has been configured to initiate at least one of the following based upon the keyword identified: initiate a phone call; initiate an increase gain to the acoustic signal; and initiate a decrease gain to the acoustic signal.
