USER VOICE DETECTOR DEVICE AND METHOD USING IN-EAR MICROPHONE SIGNAL OF OCCLUDED EAR

A device and a method for detecting voice of a user of an intra-aural device. The intra-aural device has an in-ear microphone adapted to be in fluid communication with an outer-ear ear canal of the user occluded from an environment outside the ear. A signal provided by the in-ear microphone is obtai...

Zusammenfassung:A device and a method for detecting voice of a user of an intra-aural device. The intra-aural device has an in-ear microphone adapted to be in fluid communication with an outer-ear ear canal of the user occluded from an environment outside the ear. A signal provided by the in-ear microphone is obtained to determine an acquired voice indicator signal, and a voice produced by the user is detecting by comparing the acquired voice indicator signal with a corresponding threshold value, upon the acquired voice indicator signal being larger than the corresponding threshold value. Although the method also reduces any voice interference coming from a non-user, the results are improved when the non-user voice is captured from an outer-ear microphone of the intra-aural device.
