APPARATUSES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR DETECTING SOUND VIA A WEARABLE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18393249 titled 'APPARATUSES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR DETECTING SOUND VIA A WEARABLE DEVICE
Simplified Explanation: This patent application describes apparatuses, systems, and methods for detecting sound through a wearable device, such as a pair of glasses with a vibration sensor in the nose pad.
- The system includes a pair of glasses with a nose pad that contacts the user's nose and a vibration sensor in the nose pad.
- The vibration sensor receives vibrations from the user through the contact point and converts them into an electrical signal.
- A control device then converts the electrical signal into digital audio data for analysis and processing.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Wearable device for sound detection
- Vibration sensor in the nose pad of glasses
- Conversion of vibrations into electrical signal and then digital audio data
Potential Applications:

- Enhanced audio recording capabilities
Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include:
- Assistive devices for individuals with hearing impairments
- Audio recording and analysis tools for professionals in various industries
- Wearable technology for sound monitoring and detection in different environments
Questions about Sound Detection Technology: 1. How does the vibration sensor in the nose pad of glasses work to detect sound? 2. What are the potential privacy concerns associated with wearable devices for sound detection?
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in wearable technology for sound detection and audio processing to explore new possibilities for applications and improvements in the field.
Original Abstract Submitted
Apparatuses, systems, and methods for detecting sound via a wearable device are described herein. An example system may include a pair of glasses that include a nose pad that, when the pair of glasses are worn by a user, contacts a portion of a nose of the user at a contact point and a vibration sensor, included in the nose pad. The vibration sensor may be configured to receive vibrations produced by the user via the contact point, and convert the received vibrations into an electrical signal representative of the received vibrations. The system may also include a control device configured to receive the electrical signal, and convert the electrical signal into digital audio data. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are described herein.
