Selective Sound Field Environment Processing System and Method
First Claim
1. A method for selective sound field environment processing for one or more wireless earpieces, each of the one or more wireless earpieces comprising a plurality of microphones, the method comprising:
- receiving audio input of a sound field environment from the plurality of microphones of each of the one or more wireless earpieces;
identifying background noise in the sound field environment;
identifying audio from at least one sound source within the sound field environment;
processing the audio input using one or more processors of at least one of the wireless earpieces to reduce the background noise and processing the audio input using one or more processors of the at least one of the wireless earpieces to enhance the audio from the at least one sound source within the sound field environment to provide processed audio;
transducing the processed audio at one or more speakers of the one or more wireless earpieces.

15. A wireless earpiece, comprising:
-
an earpiece housing; a processor disposed within the earpiece housing; a plurality of microphones operatively connected to the processor for receiving audio input of a sound field environment; wherein the processor provides for executing instructions stored on a machine readable non-transitory medium for identifying background noise in the sound field environment, identifying audio from at least one sound source within the sound field environment, processing the audio input using the processor to reduce the background noise and processing the audio input using the processor to enhance the audio from the at least one sound source within the sound field environment to provide processed audio; at least one speaker operatively connected to the processor for transducing the processed audio. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
