Headset Position Sensing, Reporting, and Correction
First Claim
1. A method for sensing, reporting, and correcting microphone proximity for a headset, comprising:
- determining a current proximity of a headset microphone to a face of a user;
storing the current proximity of the headset microphone as a calibrated microphone proximity value;
subsequent to storing the calibrated microphone proximity value, sensing a new proximity of the headset microphone;
selecting, based on the calibrated microphone proximity value, a range of microphone proximities;
comparing the new proximity of the headset microphone with the range of microphone proximities; and
generating a message for the user in response to determining, based on the comparison of the new proximity of the headset microphone with the range of microphone proximities, that the new proximity of the headset microphone is outside the range of microphone proximities.

Abstract
A method is disclosed for sensing, reporting, and correcting microphone proximity for a headset. The method includes determining a current proximity of a headset microphone to a face of a user. The method also includes storing the current proximity of the headset microphone as a calibrated microphone proximity value, and selecting, based on the calibrated microphone proximity value, a range of microphone proximities. Further, the method includes sensing a new proximity of the headset microphone, and comparing the new proximity of the headset microphone with the range of microphone proximities. Still yet, the method includes generating a message for the user in response to determining, based on the comparison, that the new proximity of the headset microphone is outside the range of microphone proximities.

15. A system, comprising:
-
a hardware processor and memory; and software instructions stored in the memory and configured to execute on the hardware processor, which, when executed by the hardware processor, cause the hardware processor to; determine a current proximity of a headset microphone to a face of a user, store the current proximity of the headset microphone as a calibrated microphone proximity value, subsequent to storing the calibrated microphone proximity value, sense a new proximity of the headset microphone, select, based on the calibrated microphone proximity value, a range of microphone proximities, compare the new proximity of the headset microphone with the range of microphone proximities, and generate a message for the user in response to determining, based on the comparison of the new proximity of the headset microphone with the range of microphone proximities, that the new proximity of the headset microphone is outside the range of microphone proximities. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
