REMOTE VERIFICATION OF HEARING DEVICE FOR E-COMMERCE TRANSACTION

摘要

Disclosed herein are examples of methods and systems for performing remote verification of a hearing device, particularly for use by a non-expert user outside the clinical environment. A status and/or functionality of the hearing device may be verified using verification criteria. Upon verifying the status and/or the functionality of the hearing device, a user may be permitted to conduct an e-commerce transaction. The status of the hearing device may include identification information associated with the hearing device and/or the user. The functionality of the hearing device may include a calibration and/or a system performance.

主权项

1. A system for remote verification of a hearing device, comprising:
a hearing device comprising a speaker, wherein speaker is configured to deliver an acoustic calibration stimuli; a portable test unit comprising:
an acoustic calibration cavity provided along an external surface of the portable test unit, wherein the acoustic calibration cavity is configured to receive the acoustic calibration stimuli from the hearing device; anda microphone provided within the acoustic calibration cavity, wherein the microphone is configured to produce a sensed calibration signal responsive to an acoustic calibration stimuli delivered to the acoustic calibration cavity; and a computing device configured to communicatively couple with the portable test unit, the computing device configured to generate verification data in response to receiving a verification check request from a remote server, and transmit the verification data to the remote server, wherein the verification data is generated using the sensed calibration signal.
