This invention describes a system for voice communication that uses a microphone hidden inside a piece of fabric. The microphone is specifically placed within the layers of the textile material, between its outer surfaces, to capture sound. The claims narrow this to a microphone built on a silicon wafer.
Why it matters: Filed before significant advancements in AI-driven noise filtering and speech recognition, which could enhance performance from a fabric-embedded sensor. Miniaturization of electronics also makes discreet integration into textiles more feasible.
