MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621028000 A) filed by Ansicht Voneden India, Satara, Maharashtra, on March 10, for 'wearable audio device with distributed microphone array and bone-conduction output.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Ajinkya Inamdar.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The disclosure provides a wearable bone conduction audio device comprising a headset frame supporting a distributed microphone array of at least four microphone elements positioned at spatially non-collinear locations on the frame, and left and right bone conduction transducers positioned to contact the user's skin at or near the cheekbone or mastoid region on each side of the head, delivering audio through the user's cranial bones without occluding the ear canal. A wireless receiver disposed within the headset receives audio signals from a plurality of external microphone modules placed at spatial positions within a room or dwelling. A signal fusion processor receives signals from the microphone array and the external microphone modules, applies a priority weighting criterion incorporating beamforming and speech enhancement, and drives the bone conduction transducers with the processed output, enabling the user to perceive speech from any location within the environment while retaining environmental awareness."
