Abstract
A computing system wirelessly receives data from an ear-wearable device and determines, based on the data received from the ear-wearable device, a current position of the ear-wearable device. Additionally, the computing system determines, based on the current position of the ear-wearable device and data regarding a golf course, golf advice data that provides a recommendation regarding play of the golf course. Furthermore, the computing system wirelessly sends audio data to the ear-wearable device. The audio data represents soundwaves of a vocalization of the golf advice data.
Claims30
A method comprising:
- wirelessly receiving, by a computing system, first data from an ear-wearable device, the computing system comprising one or more electronic computing devices;
- determining, by the computing system, based on the first data received from the ear-wearable device, a current position of the ear-wearable device;
- determining, by the computing system, based on the current position of the ear-wearable device and data regarding a golf course, first golf advice data that provides a recommendation regarding play of the golf course;
- wirelessly sending, by the computing system, first audio data to the ear-wearable device, the first audio data representing soundwaves of a vocalization of the first golf advice data;
- wirelessly receiving, by the computing system, second audio data from the ear-wearable device, the second audio data representing incoming soundwaves detected by the ear-wearable device;
- determining, by the computing system, based on the second audio data and based on the data regarding the golf course, second golf advice data that provides a second recommendation regarding play of the golf course;
- and
- wirelessly sending, by the computing system, third audio data to the ear-wearable device, the third audio data representing soundwaves of a vocalization of the second golf advice data.
A computing system comprising:
- a radio;
- and
- one or more electronic computing devices configured to:
- configure the radio to wirelessly receive first data from an ear-wearable device;
- determine, based on the first data received from the ear-wearable device, a current position of the ear-wearable device;
- determine, based on the current position of the ear-wearable device and data regarding a golf course, first golf advice data that provides a recommendation regarding play of the golf course;
- cause the radio to wirelessly send first audio data to the ear-wearable device, the first audio data representing soundwaves of a vocalization of the first golf advice data;
- wirelessly receive second audio data from the ear-wearable device, the second audio data representing incoming soundwaves detected by the ear-wearable device;
- determine, based on the second audio data and based on the data regarding the golf course, second golf advice data that provides a second recommendation regarding play of the golf course;
- and
- wirelessly send third audio data to the ear-wearable device, the third audio data representing soundwaves of a vocalization of the second golf advice data.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed, cause a computing system comprising one or more electronic computing devices to:
- configure a radio of the computing system to wirelessly receive first data from an ear-wearable device;
- determine, based on the first data received from the ear-wearable device, a current position of the ear-wearable device;
- determine, based on the current position of the ear-wearable device and data regarding a golf course, first golf advice data that provides a recommendation regarding play of the golf course;
- cause the radio to wirelessly send first audio data to the ear-wearable device, the first audio data representing soundwaves of a vocalization of the first golf advice data;
- wirelessly receive second audio data from the ear-wearable device, the second audio data representing incoming soundwaves detected by the ear-wearable device;
- determine, based on the second audio data and based on the data regarding the golf course, second golf advice data that provides a second recommendation regarding play of the golf course;
- and
- wirelessly send third audio data to the ear-wearable device, the third audio data representing soundwaves of a vocalization of the second golf advice data.
An ear-wearable device comprising:
- a radio;
- one or more accelerometers;
- a receiver;
- and
- one or more processors configured to:
- generate, based on signals from the one or more accelerometers, movement data representing movement of the ear-wearable device;
- cause the radio to wirelessly send the movement data to a computing system;
- configure the radio to wirelessly receive, from the computing system, a request that a wearer of the ear-wearable device provide a score for a hole of the golf course based on the computing system having determined based on the movement data that the wearer of the ear-wearable device has completed the hole;
- and
- cause the receiver to output sound of a vocalization of a prompt to the wearer of the ear-wearable device to provide the score for the hole.
A method comprising:
- automatically determining, by a computing system, that a wearer of a first ear-wearable device is concurrently playing a same hole of a golf course as a wearer of a second ear-wearable device;
- wirelessly receiving, by the computing system, audio data from the first ear-wearable device, the audio data representing a vocalization of the wearer of the first ear-wearable device;
- and
- responsive to wirelessly receiving the audio data, wirelessly sending, by the computing system, based on determining that the wearer of the first ear-wearable device is concurrently playing the same hole of the golf course as the wearer of the second ear-wearable device, the audio data for receipt of the second ear-wearable device.
A method comprising:
- generating, by one or more processors of an ear-wearable device, based on signals from one or more accelerometers of the ear-wearable device, movement data representing movement of the ear-wearable device;
- causing, by the one or more processors of the ear-wearable device, a radio of the ear-wearable device to wirelessly send the movement data to a computing system;
- configuring, by the one or more processors of the ear-wearable device, the radio to wirelessly receive, from the computing system, a request that a wearer of the ear-wearable device provide a score for a hole of the golf course based on the computing system having determined based on the movement data that the wearer of the ear-wearable device has completed the hole;
- and
- causing, by the one or more processors of the ear-wearable device, a receiver of the ear-wearable device to output sound of a vocalization of a prompt to the wearer of the ear-wearable device to provide the score for the hole.
