SYSTEM FOR VOICE CAPTURE VIA NASAL VIBRATION SENSING

摘要

A voice capture system worn by a user senses vibrations through the nose of the user when the user speaks. The voice capture system generates an electronic signal based on the sensed vibration and generate voice data based on the electronic signal. In this manner, the system may capture a user's voice while also screening out external noise (e.g., based on the sound dampening properties of the human skull). In one example, a voice capture system may include a wearable frame (e.g., eyeglass frame) on which is mounted at least one sensor and a device. The at least one sensor senses vibration in the nose of a user and generates the electronic signal based on the vibration. The device receives the electronic signal from the at least one sensor and generates voice data based on the electronic signal.

主权项

1. A system to capture a voice of a user, comprising:
an eyeglass frame including a nosepiece wearable by a user; a first sensor embedded in a first portion of the nosepiece and a second sensor embedded in a second portion of the nosepiece, wherein the first sensor and the second sensor each generate a respective first electronic signal and second electronic signal based on vibration sensed in a nose of the user when the user talks; and control circuitry mounted to the frame to; receive the first electronic signal from the first sensor and the second electronic signal from the second sensor; and select either the first electronic signal or the second electronic signal based at least in part on one or more particularities of the user's nasal bones to generate voice data.
