## Abstract

A system, method and device for a set of wireless earpieces anatomically conformed for wearing in the same ear is disclosed. Each wireless earpiece includes an earpiece housing, a speaker disposed within the earpiece housing, a memory device disposed within the earpiece housing, a transceiver disposed within each earpiece housing; and a processor disposed within each earpiece housing and operatively connected to the speaker and the transceiver.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A system comprising:
a set of wireless earpieces comprising a first wireless earpiece and a second wireless earpiece, wherein each of the first wireless earpiece and the second wireless earpiece is anatomically conformed for wearing in the same ear such that both of the first wireless earpiece and the second wireless earpiece are sized and shaped to operatively fit in a left ear and not a right ear of a user or both the first wireless earpiece and the second wireless earpiece are sized and shaped to operatively fit in the right ear and not the left ear of the user, wherein each of the first wireless earpiece and the second wireless earpiece further comprises:
an earpiece housing;
a speaker disposed within the earpiece housing;
a memory device disposed within the earpiece housing;
a transceiver disposed within each earpiece housing; and
a processor disposed within each earpiece housing and operatively connected to the speaker and the transceiver;
wherein the first wireless earpiece is configured to communicate with the second wireless earpiece to synchronize data after the first wireless earpiece is removed from the ear of the user; and
wherein the second wireless earpiece is configured to communicate with the first wireless earpiece to synchronize data after the second wireless earpiece is removed from the ear of the user.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, further comprising:
a case comprising:
a case housing comprising a set of receptacles, wherein the set of receptacles substantially define contours having the anatomical conformity of the set of wireless earpieces;
an electromechanical connector disposed within each receptacle, wherein a wireless earpiece of the set of wireless earpieces is coupled to the electromechanical connector; and
an energy source disposed within the case housing.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The system of claim 2 wherein the case is configured to communicate with the first wireless earpiece to synchronize data after the second wireless earpiece is docked in one of the receptacles of the set of receptacles.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The system of claim 2 wherein the case is configured to communicate with the second wireless earpiece to synchronize data after the first wireless earpiece is docked in one of the receptacles of the set of receptacles.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The system of claim 2 wherein the case is configured to communicate with the first wireless earpiece to synchronize data after the first wireless earpiece is removed from one of the receptacles of the set of receptacles.

### Claim 6 (depends on 2)

The system of claim 2 wherein the case is configured to communicate with the second wireless earpiece to synchronize data after the second wireless earpiece is removed from one of the receptacles of the set of receptacles.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the first wireless earpiece is docked within a case and the second wireless earpiece is worn by a user.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein a signal is transceived between the second wireless earpiece worn by a user and the first wireless earpiece docked within a case.

### Claim 9

A pair of wireless earpieces, comprising:
a first wireless earpiece and a second wireless earpiece wherein each of the first wireless earpiece and the second wireless earpiece is anatomically conformed for wearing in the same ear such that both of the first wireless earpiece and the second wireless earpiece are sized and shaped to operatively fit in a left ear and not a right ear of a user or both the first wireless earpiece and the second wireless earpiece are sized and shaped to operatively fit in the right ear and not the left ear of the user, wherein each of the first wireless earpiece and the second wireless earpiece further comprises:
an earpiece housing having an anatomically conformity for the same ear;
a speaker disposed within the earpiece housing;
a memory device disposed within the earpiece housing;
a transceiver disposed within each earpiece housing, wherein a signal is transmitted between the first wireless earpiece and the second wireless earpiece; and
a processor disposed within each earpiece housing and operatively connected to the speaker and the transceiver;
wherein the transceiver of the first wireless earpiece is configured to transmit the signal to the transceiver of the second wireless earpiece to synchronize data after the first wireless earpiece is removed from the ear of the user; and
wherein the transceiver of the second wireless earpiece is configured to transmit the signal to the transceiver of the first wireless earpiece to synchronize data after the second wireless earpiece is removed from the ear of the user.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The wireless earpieces of claim 9, further comprising:
a case comprising:
a case housing comprising a pair of receptacles, wherein the pair of receptacles substantially define contours having the anatomical conformity of the pair of wireless earpieces;
an electromechanical connector disposed within each receptacle, wherein a wireless earpiece of the pair of wireless earpieces is coupled to the electromechanical connector; and
an energy source disposed within the case housing;
a processor disposed of within the case housing and operatively connected to the electromechanical connector disposed within each receptacle;
a transceiver disposed of within the case housing and operatively connected to the processor.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The pair of wireless earpieces of claim 10, wherein the processor of the case is configured to communicate data received by the transceiver of the case to the first wireless earpiece after the first wireless earpiece is operatively coupled to the electromechanical connector.

### Claim 12 (depends on 9)

The wireless earpieces of claim 9, wherein the first wireless earpiece is docked within a case and the second wireless earpiece is worn by a user.

### Claim 13 (depends on 9)

The wireless earpieces of claim 9, wherein a signal is transceived between the second wireless earpiece worn by a user and the first wireless earpiece docked within a case.
