Abstract
A method and system for enabling feedback reduction for half-duplex communications is provided. In operation, a crossing of a proximity threshold between a first device and a second device is determined and a feedback reduction operation is enabled based on the determination. The determination is based on a proximity check based on a near field proximity profile. The feedback reduction operation is at least one of reducing a playback volume to a predetermined level and delaying a playback. To delay playback, when a device enters transmit-mode, it may delay the transmission of received voice input. To reduce the playback volume, when a device enters receive-mode, it may reduce a volume of the audio output apparatus to a predetermined level.
