Systems and methods for automatically connecting a user of a hands-free intercommunication system |
摘要 |
A hands-free intercom may include a user-tracking sensor, a directional microphone, a directional sound emitter, and a communication interface. The user-tracking sensor may determine a location of a user so the directional microphone can measure vocal emissions by the user and the directional sound emitter can deliver audio to the user. The hands-free intercom may determine whether the user is communicatively coupled via a mobile device to a remote entity. The hands-free intercom may be configured to receive a handoff of the communicative coupling, for example, by acting as a peripheral of the mobile device, by requesting the handoff, and/or the like. The hands-free intercom may be configured to deliver communications from the user to an appliance and vice versa. The hands-free intercom may manage access rights of the various entities to prevent unauthorized communications. |

1. A hands-free intercommunication system for automatically receiving call handoffs from mobile communication devices, the system comprising:
a directional microphone configured to measure vocal emissions by a user; a directional sound emitter configured to deliver audio to the user by emitting ultrasonic sound waves that produce the audio by beating a plurality of ultrasonic sound waves together, downshifting the ultrasonic sound waves in the air, downshifting the ultrasonic sound waves in a material on the user, or downshifting the ultrasonic sound waves on a material on the user; and a communication interface configured to:
determine the user is communicatively coupled to a remote entity via a mobile communication device of the user, andcommunicatively couple the directional microphone and the directional sound emitter to a communication device of the remote entity. |
