A recently spotted patent application shows that your next AirPods could be smart enough to know when your noise cancellation should be turned off.
Ever since Apple debuted its now-iconic AirPods true wireless earbuds, it has been expanding what these handy devices can do. The list now includes hands-free access to Siri, enhanced hearing with Conversation Boost, head-tracking spatial audio, and the super-popular combo of active noise cancellation and transparency mode.
In some ways, the technology involved isn’t that different than what current AirPods do when they’re waiting for you to say the words, “Hey, Siri.” Except that the application reveals the extra due diligence such a system would require in order to avoid unwanted interruptions. But if the earbuds aren’t confident they’ve reached the necessary threshold needed to ID this person, they could leverage additional data on your iPhone. In an ideal world, the person who wants to get your attention also has their phone on them, and that could act as a final and trusted form of ID.
But Apple envisions other situations too, like when you’re on a flight. You could — with a flight attendant’s permission — sample their voice so that you didn’t miss any in-flight announcements. For privacy purposes, this sample would be deleted as soon as you stepped off your airplane. In fact, the application makes it clear that Apple would treat all personally identifiable information like voice samples with industry-standard privacy safeguards.
