Abstract:
An example implementation may involve driving an audio output module of a wearable device with a first audio signal and then receiving, via at least one microphone of wearable device, a second audio signal comprising first ambient noise. The device may determine that the first ambient noise is indicative of user speech and responsively duck the first audio signal. While the first audio signal is ducked, the device may detect, in a subsequent portion of the second audio signal, second ambient noise, and determine that the second ambient noise is indicative of ambient speech. Responsive to the determination that the second ambient noise is indicative of ambient speech, the device may continue the ducking of the first audio signal.

Claim (Index 10):
A computing device comprising:\n a communication interface operable for receiving an audio signal captured by or based on data from at least one microphone arranged in a housing, wherein the housing is physically separate from the computing device; a processor; a non-transitory computer readable medium; and program instructions stored on the non-transitory computer readable medium that, when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:\n driving an audio output module of the wearable computing device with a first audio signal; \n while the wearable computing device is in a first mode of operation:\n (a) receiving, via the communication interface, a second audio signal indicating first user speech data captured by the at least one microphone; \n (b) determining whether the first user speech is by the wearer of the wearable computing device or another speaker; \n (c) when the first user speech is by the wearer, ducking the first audio signal and causing the wearable computing device to switch to a second mode of operation; \n (d) when the first user speech is by the another speaker, refraining from causing the wearable computing device to switch to the second mode; \n \n while the wearable computing device is in a second mode of operation:\n (a) detecting a subsequent portion of the second audio signal comprising second user speech; and \n (b) when the second user speech is detected within a predetermined period of time from initiating or continuing ducking of the first audio signal, and is by the wearer or by another speaker, continuing the ducking of the first audio signal.
