20140107916 | NAVIGATION SYSTEM WITH A HEARING DEVICE - A navigation system includes: a hearing device configured to be worn at a head of a user and having speakers for emission of sound towards ears of the user; a GPS unit for determining a geographical position of the system; a user interface for receiving input from the user regarding at least one of available time and maximum distance; a sound generator for outputting audio signals to the speakers; and a processor configured for determining a route between selected Points-Of-Interest, which route can be covered within the at least one of available time and maximum distance, wherein the processor is also configured for controlling the sound generator to output the audio signals for processing by the speakers to guide the user along the determined route; wherein the processor is further configured for taking information on preferred directions of approach for at least one Point-Of-Interest into account when determining the route. | 04-17-2014 |
20140114560 | HEARING DEVICE WITH A DISTANCE MEASUREMENT UNIT - A new hearing device is provided configured to be head worn for emission of sound towards at least one of the ears of a user and accommodating an inertial measurement unit configured for determining head yaw, when the user wears the hearing device in its intended operational position on the user's head, and a distance measurement unit configured to measure distance from the user to an object in the field of view of the user. | 04-24-2014 |
20140177862 | ASSEMBLY AND A METHOD OF DETERMINING A CHANGE IN CAPACITANCE - An assembly and a method for determining a change in capacitance in a cable, such as a change caused by a deformation of the cable. The deformation may be caused by a deforming element attached to the cable and slideable along the cable. The deforming element may be adapted to be compressed by a user and convert the compression force into a compression of the cable so as to cause the capacitance change. The assembly may form part of a headset and the deformation may be used to control a media player or mobile telephone used with the headset. | 06-26-2014 |
20140219485 | PERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS UNIT FOR OBSERVING FROM A POINT OF VIEW AND TEAM COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM COMPRISING MULTIPLE PERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS UNITS FOR OBSERVING FROM A POINT OF VIEW - An embodiments described herein relates to a personal communications unit for observing from a point of view and team communications system comprising multiple personal communications units for observing from a point of view; especially to a personal communications system for use in a geographical environment configured with a computational unit configured to calculate a direction and/or a distance of the elsewhere geographical position relative to the origo geographical position; and perform a transformation of the at least one record of information from the at least one elsewhere geographical position; which transformation is as if the record of information was observed from the origo geographical position. | 08-07-2014 |
20150017615 | AUDIO BASED LEARNING SYSTEM COMPRISING A PORTABLE TERMINAL CONNECTED TO AN AUDIO UNIT AND PLURALITY OF ZONES - An audio based learning system includes: at least one audio unit; and at least one portable terminal, wherein the at least one zone spans a bounded area around a geographical position and has an outside portion and an inside portion separated by a zone boundary area, the inside portion of the at least one zone having inside acoustic scene information; wherein the at least one audio unit is configured to be head worn and is configured to communicate with the at least one portable terminal, wherein the at least one audio unit is configured to output outside acoustic scene information about the at least one geographical position of at least one zone when the at least one audio unit is outside the at least one zone, and to output the inside acoustic scene information when the at least one audio unit is inside the at least one zone. | 01-15-2015 |
20150063610 | AUDIO RENDERING SYSTEM CATEGORISING GEOSPATIAL OBJECTS - The present disclosure relates to a method and an audio rendering system comprising at least one portable terminal configured to receive geospatial object data from at least one geospatial object data server. The geospatial object data is interrelated to a geographical position. The at least one portable terminal is further configured to render retrieved geospatial object data into an acoustic scene by a rendering algorithm. The acoustic scene is spatially interrelated to the geographical position. The at least one audio unit is configured to sound a rendered acoustic scene information into at least one ear of a user. The audio rendering system is further configured for rendering retrieved geospatial object data into the acoustic scene based on categorised acoustic scene information representing a corresponding categorised geospatial object data. | 03-05-2015 |
20150117664 | AUDIO INFORMATION SYSTEM BASED ON ZONES AND CONTEXTS - An audio information system includes: a audio unit configured to be head worn, wherein the audio unit is configured to sound an acoustic scene to a user; and a portable terminal, wherein the audio unit is configured to communicate with the portable terminal, and wherein the portable terminal is configured to retrieve and render object data into the acoustic scene by an acoustic rendering algorithm, and to transmit the acoustic scene to the audio unit, wherein the portable terminal is configured to establish at least one zone that spans a bounded space around a geographical position; wherein the acoustic scene comprises an outside acoustic scene when the audio unit is not in the at least one zone, or an inside acoustic scene when the audio unit is in the at least one zone. | 04-30-2015 |
