Head-mounted multi-sensory audio input system (headmounted multi-sensory audio input system)

摘要

The present invention combines a conventional audio microphone with an additional speech sensor that provides a speech sensor signal based on an input. The speech sensor signal is generated based on an action undertaken by a speaker during speech, such as facial movement, bone vibration, throat vibration, throat impedance changes, etc. A speech detector component receives an input from the speech sensor and outputs a speech detection signal indicative of whether a user is speaking. The speech detector generates the speech detection signal based on the microphone signal and the speech sensor signal. IMAGE
