Abstract:
A method provides binaural sound to a person through electronic earphones. The binaural sound localizes to a sound localization point (SLP) in empty space that is away from but proximate to the person. When an event occurs, the binaural sound switches or changes to stereo sound, to mono sound, or to altered binaural sound.

Claim (Index 34):
A method executed by one or more electronic devices in a computer system to change one or more voices from binaural sound during an electronic call between a first person and a second person, the method comprising:\n providing, during the electronic call and through a wearable electronic device that includes or is in communication with earphones or headphones that the first person wears, the first person with binaural sound of a voice of the second person such that the voice of the second person externally localizes at a sound localization point (SLP) that is at least three feet away from the first person; receiving, at the wearable electronic device and from the first person, activation of a switch that instructs the wearable electronic device to switch the voice of the second person from being externally localized at the SLP to being internally localized such that the voice of the second person appears to the first person to originate in a head of the first person; changing, during the electronic call and in response to the activation of the switch, the binaural sound of the voice of the second person from being externally localized at the SLP to being internally localized such that the voice of the second person appears to the first person to originate in the head of the first person; and providing, during the electronic call and through the earphones or the headphones that the first person wears, the first person with the voice of the second person localized in the head of the first person.
