Aural measurements from earphone output speakers
First Claim
1. A method of presenting a temperature, comprising:
- playing an output audio signal to an electro-acoustic transducer;
instructing an audio processing integrated circuit of a client terminal to record an acoustic audio signal that includes the output audio signal that was played by the electro-acoustic transducer, using same said electro-acoustic transducer;
calculating a plurality of temperatures based on a function combining said acoustic audio signal, the output audio signal, and filtration coefficients; and
presenting at least one of said plurality of temperatures.

Abstract
According to some embodiments of the present invention there is provided a method of using an earphone output speaker as a microphone for a phone call between two and/or more participants, or for measuring biometric data of a user. The method may comprise playing a received signal to an electro-acoustic output transducer of an earphone. The method may comprise instructing an audio processing circuit of a local client terminal to record an audio signal from the same electro-acoustic output transducer. The method may comprise calculating a voice signal and/or a biometric measurement based on a function combining the recorded audio signal, the received signal, and filtration coefficients, using a processing unit of the local client terminal. The method may comprise sending the voice signal and/or a biometric measurement through an output interface of the local client terminal.
