“Whisper”是一款可以佩戴在手腕上的听筒，通过将手指插入手上并将设备插入耳朵，通过骨传导传输传入的声音。手触摸耳朵的位置类似于使用传统听筒（电话）的方式，即使使用语音命令操作设备，附近的人也会认为这是“使用电话”，并不会感到任何不适。此外，使用骨传导接听电话可以在嘈杂的环境中进行通话，而无需提高音量[噪音低于 90 dB (A)，与传统听筒相比 –12 dB]。传出的语音是通过连接在手腕内侧的麦克风实现的。通过将手指放在耳朵上，即可产生说话声音的反馈，即使在嘈杂的条件下也无需提高声音，几乎消除了附近任何人的不适[噪音低于 90 dB (A)，与传统听筒相比 –6 dB]。除了用于佩戴在手腕上的 PDA 的语音接口之外，Whisper 还可以用于蜂窝电话和其他电话应用。 © 2001 Scripta Technica，Syst Comp Jpn，32(4)：38–47，2001
“Whisper,” a handset that can be worn on the wrist, transmits incoming sound via bone conduction through the insertion of a finger on the hand with the device into the ear. The position of a hand touching an ear resembles the way in which a conventional handset (telephone) is used, and even when the device is operated using voice commands, people nearby will regard this as “using a telephone” and experience little discomfort. In addition, the use of bone conduction to receive calls allows for calls in noisy environments without raising the volume [under 90 dB (A) of noise, –12 dB compared to a conventional handset]. Outgoing speech is achieved through a microphone attached to the inside of the wrist. By placing the finger in the ear, feedback of the speaking voice is created, and the voice does not need to be raised even under noisy conditions, virtually eliminating discomfort to anyone nearby [under 90 dB (A) of noise, –6 dB compared to a conventional handset]. In addition to its use in a voice interface for a PDA worn on the wrist, Whisper can also be used for cellular phones and other telephone applications. © 2001 Scripta Technica, Syst Comp Jpn, 32(4): 38–47, 2001
