First Claim
1. A control system for rendering an audio stream on a speaker from one or more input signals, the control system comprising:
- an estimator comprising one or more state estimating models, each state estimating model configured to accept at least one of one or more of the input signals and one or more feedback signals, and to generate one or more estimated states therefrom;
one or more of the state estimating models configured to estimate one or more proximity states, the proximity states related to one or more of an orientation, acoustic volume, an acoustic coupling of the speaker to a nearby object;
a control block comprising a control algorithm configured to accept one or more of the input signals and delayed versions thereof, and one or more of the proximity states and one or more signals generated therefrom, and to generate the audio stream therefrom; and
an excursion state estimating model, configured to estimate an excursion state of the speaker, the excursion state used to update the state estimating model configured to estimate one or more proximity states;
wherein the control system, and the speaker are comprised in a handset, the handset comprising regions including a mouthpiece and an ear piece, the speaker situated near the ear piece, further comprising one or more sensors to obtain one or more of the feedback signals, a first feedback signal relating to background noise in the vicinity of the speaker, between the speaker and the object, and/or in the vicinity of the ear piece, and a second feedback signal relating to background noise in the vicinity of the mouthpiece, and/or from a remote location, the control system configured to measure one or more differences between the first and second feedback signals, the differences used in the estimation of one or more of the proximity states.

Abstract
A nonlinear control system and a speaker protection system are disclosed. In particular, a control system for adapting an audio output from a speaker in the proximity of an object is disclosed. The controller is configured to accept one or more input signals, and one or more estimated states produced by the model to produce one or more control signals. A speaker protection system and a quality control system are disclosed. More particularly, a system for clamping the input to a speaker dependent upon an estimate of the proximity, acoustic volume, and/or acoustic coupling of the speaker to a nearby object is disclosed.
