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 21):
A method executed by one or more electronic devices in a computer system to switch binaural sound to one of stereo sound and mono sound during an electronic communication between a person and a user, the method comprising:\n executing, by the one or more electronic devices in the computer system, the electronic communication that provides a voice of the user in binaural sound to the person such that the voice of the user in the binaural sound externally localizes to the person to a sound localization point (SLP) that is at least three feet away from a head of the person; determining, by the one or more electronic devices in the computer system during the electronic communication, when an object enters an area of the SLP; switching, by the one or more electronic devices in the computer system during the electronic communication, the binaural sound to the one of stereo sound and mono sound when the object enters the area of the SLP; and providing, by the one or more electronic devices in the computer system during the electronic communication and in response to the switching, the voice of the user to the person in the one of stereo sound and mono sound.
