Howdo you turn “dumb” headphones into smart ones? Rutgers engineers have invented a cheap and easy way by transforming headphones into sensors that can be plugged into (插入) smartphones, identify their users monitor their heart rates and perform other services.
Their invention, called HeadFi, is based on a small plug-in headphone adapter that turns a regular headphone into a sensing device (装置). Unlike smart headphones, regular headphones lack sensors. HeadFi would allow users to avoid having to buy a new pairof smart headphones with sensors to enjoy sensing features.
“HeadFi could turn hundreds of millions of existing, regular headphones worldwide into intelligent ones with a simple upgrade (升级),” said Xiaoran Fan, a HeadFi primary inventor.
A Rutgers-led paper on the invention, which results in "earable intelligence", will be formally published in October at MobiCom 2021, the top international conference on mobile computing and mobile and wireless networking. Headphones are among the most popular wearable devices worldwide and they continue to become; more intelligent as new functions appear, such as touch-based gesture control, the paper notes. Such functions usually rely on aiding sensors, such as accelerometers, gyroscopes and microphones that are availableon many smart headphones.
HeadFi turns the two drivers already inside all headphones into a versatile (多功能的) sensor, and it works by connecting headphones to a pairing device, such as a smartphone. It doesn't require adding aiding sensors and avoids changes to headphone hardware or the need to customize headphones, both of which may increase their
weight and size. By plugging into HeadFi, a converted headphone can perform sensing tasks and play music at the same time.
The engineers conducted experiments with 53 volunteers using 54 pairs of headphones with prices ranging from $2. 99 to $15 ,000. HeadFi can achieve 97. 2 percent to 99. 5 percent accuracy on user identification, 96.8 percent to 99. 2 percent on heart rate monitoring and 97. 7 percent to 99. 3 percent on gesture recognition.
12. What does Xiaoran Fan think of HeadFi?
A. Secure to operate.
B. Simple to use.
C. Easy to substitute.
D. Convenient to store.
13. What can we know about HeadFi according to the text?
A. It can't work with headphones alone.
B. It actually functions as a versatile sensor.
C. It makes headphones larger and heavier than usual.
D. It doesn't work when headphones are playing music.
14. The figures are listed in the last paragraph mainly to show_________.
A. the various functions of HeadFi
B. the wide popularity of headphones
C. the great complexity of headphones
D. the excellent performance of HeadFi
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. How to Use Headphones Appropriately
B. Headphones Can Be Upgraded Instantly
C. How to Make Regular Headphones Intelligent
D. New Uses Have Been Found in Headphones
