Methods and systems for sending sensor data

An audio system comprising:

• a first wearable audio device comprising:
• a speaker;
• a first communication module arranged to establish a first connection with a first peripheral device and obtain a first data characteristic of the first wearable audio device, and obtain a second data characteristic of a first application running on a first peripheral device;
• and,
• a sensor arranged to obtain a sensor data;
• wherein the first wearable audio device or the first peripheral device are arranged to:
• (i) compare the first data characteristic and the second data characteristic;
• (ii) send or receive the sensor data obtained from the sensor to the first peripheral device for use with the first application if the first data characteristic and the second data characteristic match;
• and
• (iii) modify the first data characteristic to match the second data characteristic upon receipt of a user input, upon a determination that the first application is in the foreground of a user interface of the peripheral device, or based on determining a first priority of the first application.

A method for sending sensor data, the method comprising:

• providing a first wearable audio device having a speaker, a first communication module, and a sensor;
• establishing, via circuitry of a first peripheral device, a first connection over a first protocol between the first wearable audio device and the first peripheral device;
• obtaining, via the first communication module, a first data characteristic of the first wearable audio device;
• obtaining, via the first communication module, a second data characteristic of a first application running on the first peripheral device;
• comparing the first data characteristic of the first wearable audio device with the second data characteristic of the first application;
• and,
• sending the sensor data obtained from the sensor of the first wearable audio device to the first peripheral device for use with the first application if the first data characteristic of the first wearable audio device and the second data characteristic of the first application match;
• modifying the first data characteristic to match the second data characteristic upon a determination that the first application is in the foreground of a user interface of the peripheral device.
