Abstract

Techniques are described for recognizing an audio double tap or other tapped audio sequences generated by a user. Amplitudes of an audio signal are processed to generate an energy function or curve. The energy curve is analyzed to detect audio pulses. Detected pulses are validated and double tap events are detected based on features such as duration, power, and/or symmetry, plus additional rules related to the structure of the audio event.
