POWERED INTRAORAL APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240050267 titled 'POWERED INTRAORAL APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for transmitting customizable audio signals through teeth using an intraoral apparatus. The apparatus includes a teeth movement detection element, a power source, an audio element, a control element, and a bone conduction element. When the state of the apparatus is off, the teeth movement detection element detects teeth movement and transmits customizable audio signals through the bone conduction element for a period of time.
- Teeth movement detection element: A component of the intraoral apparatus that detects teeth movement.
- State: The state of the apparatus, which can be either on or off.
- Power source: Provides power to the intraoral apparatus.
- Audio element: Receives customizable audio signals.
- Control element: Controls the operation of the apparatus.
- Bone conduction element: Transmits the customizable audio signals through bone conduction.
Potential Applications:
- Dental healthcare: The technology could be used to transmit audio signals related to dental hygiene instructions or reminders.
- Entertainment: Customizable audio signals could be transmitted through teeth for immersive gaming or virtual reality experiences.
- Communication: The technology could be used for discreet communication in situations where speaking out loud is not possible or appropriate.
Problems Solved:
- Discreet audio transmission: The technology allows for the transmission of audio signals without the need for external speakers or headphones.
- Accessibility: People with hearing impairments or certain disabilities may benefit from the bone conduction technology.
Benefits:
- Convenience: Users can receive audio signals directly through their teeth without the need for additional devices.
- Discretion: The technology allows for private and discreet audio transmission.
- Accessibility: People with hearing impairments or certain disabilities can still receive audio signals through bone conduction.
Original Abstract Submitted
an approach is disclosed for transmitting customizable audio signals through teeth. an intraoral apparatus is provided with a teeth movement detection element to detect teeth movement. the apparatus holds a state where the state is one of on and off. the apparatus includes a power source, an audio element, a control element, and a bone conduction element. a customizable audio signals is received by the audio element. when teeth movement is detected when the state is off, the customizable audio signals are transmitted through the bone conduction element for a period of time.
