Apparatus, method and computer program for adjustable noise cancellation

This invention describes a device, such as a headset, that manages what a user hears. It receives audio from a remote source, like music or a phone call, and also picks up local sounds from the surrounding environment. The device can then process these local sounds, either actively canceling them out or letting them pass through to the user's ears, with the user able to adjust this balance.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread integration of edge AI for real-time audio processing. The claims' focus on input signal analysis for adjustable noise cancellation and sound reproduction could now leverage more sophisticated, low-power machine learning models for improved adaptability and user experience.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedReal-time audio processing, software logic
