Abstract
The two-way communication system comprises a non-invasive and non-implanted system which remains completely invisible to an outside observer when in use by an operator or user and allows for clear two-way communications. This system is generally comprised of a mouthpiece component, relay component, infrastructure communication device, and an optional system control which may interface with the relay component.
Claims18
A two-way communication system, comprising:
- a mouthpiece configured for temporary securement upon a tooth or teeth of a user, wherein the mouthpiece has a first reference point and a second reference point, wherein the mouthpiece has a first configuration and a second configuration different from the first configuration, wherein when the mouthpiece is in the first configuration, the first reference point is farther from the second reference point than when the mouthpiece is in the second configuration, wherein the mouthpiece has a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion is coupled to the second portion via a connector, wherein the connector extends partially around a posterior-most tooth of the tooth or teeth when the mouthpiece is secured upon the tooth or teeth;
- an antenna integrated with the mouthpiece, wherein the antenna is insensitive to positioning upon a left or right side of the user's dentition;
- a microphone assembly within the mouthpiece, wherein the microphone assembly has a microphone, an air cavity, and an attenuator, wherein the air cavity is between the microphone and the attenuator, and wherein the air cavity is at least partially formed by a substrate defining a channel to the microphone;
- an infrastructure communication device configured to transmit or receive signals from the mouthpiece to a remote communication device;
- and
- a relay component configured to communicate with the microphone.
