First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for providing environment specific noise reduction in a head-mounted device comprising:
- a network server operable to communicate over a network, and operable to store a plurality of environment specific noise reduction algorithms (ESNRAs), an ESNRA being a preset algorithm that is designed to reduce noise patterns that are specific to selected environments; and
a network device operable to communicate with the network, and operable to download one or more of the plurality of ESNRAs from the network server for use in a head-mounted device.

Abstract
In accordance with the teachings described herein, systems and methods are provided for providing environmental specific noise reduction algorithms (ESNRAs) in a head-mounted device. A network server may be used to store a plurality of ESNRAs. One or more of the ESNRAs may be downloaded from the network server for use in the head-mounted device. The head-mounted device may use one or more of the downloaded ESNRAs to filter environmental noise from an audio signal.
