Sound enhancement for audio devices based on user-specific audio processing parameters
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- providing a manual control to receive a user input selection of one or more user-specific audio processing parameters;
determining one or more user-specific audio processing parameters in response to user input received at the manual control;
receiving an automatic level control signal responsive to background noise;
receiving an RF signal from a first wireless device;
demodulating the received RF signal to obtain an audio signal;
processing the audio signal based on both (i) the received automatic level control signal and (ii) the determined user-specific audio processing parameters to generate a user-specific audio signal; and
providing the user-specific audio signal to the user.

Abstract
Various embodiments are disclosed relating to sound enhancement for wireless audio devices. A technique may include determining one or more user-specific audio processing parameters, receiving an RF signal from a first wireless device, demodulating the received RF signal to obtain an audio signal, processing the audio signal based on the one or more user-specific audio processing parameters to generate a user-specific audio signal. The user-specific audio processing parameters may be based on user preferences, or may, for example be based on a user auditory profile or other information to allow a received audio signal to be processed to at least partially compensate for a user'"'"'s specific hearing impairment.

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
a wireless interface adapted to receive and demodulate a received RF signal to obtain an audio signal; a manual control to receive a user input of one or more user-specific audio processing parameters; a memory adapted to store one or more of the received user-specific audio processing parameters; a controller coupled to the manual control and configured to output one or more of the user-specific audio processing parameters in response user input to the manual control; an automatic level controller configured to output an automatic level control signal responsive to background noise levels; an audio processing circuit coupled to the output of the controller and coupled to the output of the automatic level controller and adapted to process the audio signal based on both (i) the automatic level control signal and (ii) the one or more user-specific audio processing parameters to generate a user-specific audio signal; and an audio output device coupled to the audio processing circuit and adapted to provide the user-specific audio signal to the user. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A wireless audio headset or output device comprising:
-
a wireless interface adapted to receive and demodulate a received RF signal to obtain an audio signal; a manual control to receive a user input of one or more user-specific audio processing parameters; a memory adapted to store the one or more user-specific audio processing parameters; a controller coupled to the manual control and configured to output one or more of the user-specific audio processing parameters in response user input to the manual control; an automatic level controller configured to output an automatic level control signal responsive to background noise levels; an audio processing circuit coupled to the output of the controller and coupled to the output of the automatic level controller and adapted to process the audio signal based on both (i) the automatic level control signal and (ii) the one or more user-specific audio processing parameters to generate a user-specific audio signal; and one or more speakers or other output devices adapted to output the user-specific audio signal. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
