- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18218433 Titled 'WEARABLE INTERACTIVE AUDIO DEVICE'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes a wearable audio device, specifically an earbud, that is capable of detecting various inputs through sensors and structures. These inputs can include gestures and physical manipulations performed on or along the earbud. In response to these inputs, the earbud can change its outputs, such as adjusting the audio or providing haptic feedback. The earbud also includes a microphone that can register voice commands. These voice commands can be used to control the earbud in response to detected gestures or physical manipulations.
Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments are directed to a wearable audio device, such as an earbud. The earbud may be configured to detect input using various sensors and structures. For example, the earbud may be configured to detect gestures, physical manipulations, and so forth performed along or on the earbud. In response to the detected inputs, the earbud may be configured to change various outputs, such as an audio output or a haptic output of the device. The earbud may also include a microphone to register voice commands. In some cases, the microphone may be used to control the earbud using the registered voice command in response to one or more detected gestures or physical manipulations.
