Abstract
One or more sensors are configured to contextualize a series of user generated movements to control one or more electronic devices. For example, a set of earphones comprises one or more sensors for sensing a location of the earphones. The one or more sensors enable earphones such as a pair of bluetooth or earphones wirelessly coupled to a bluetooth enabled electronic device, the capability to understand the configuration of use of the earphones. Based on a location and use or non-use of the earphones, one or more contextual responses is able to be applied for a given action. In addition, a garment comprises one or more sensors for sensing a motion of a user as the garment is being used. The one or more sensors allow the user to control one or more electronic devices through a series of user generated movements.
Claims20
A set of earphones comprising:
- a. one or more sensors for sensing a use and a non-use of the earphones;
- b. a wireless control device, wherein the wireless control device is configured to send a signal to transmit sound based on a use and a non-use of the earphones, and wherein power is not used to drive the earphones if a non-use of the earphones is sensed;
- and
- c. one or more earphone magnets for releasably coupling the set of earphones with an earphones holder, wherein the one or more sensors sense when the earphones are not coupled to the earphones holder and further wherein the earphones are always in the non-use condition when coupled to the earphones holder and are only able to be in the use condition when not coupled to the earphones holder.
An earphone comprising:
- a. one or more sensors for sensing a use condition and a non-use condition of the earphone;
- b. a wireless control device, wherein the wireless control device sends a signal to transmit sound to the earphone and power is used to drive the earphone when the use condition is sensed, and wherein power is not used to drive the earphone if a non-use condition is sensed;
- and
- c. one or more earphone magnets for releasably coupling the earphone with an earphones holder, wherein the one or more sensors sense when the earphones are not coupled to the earphones holder and further wherein the earphones are always in the non-use condition when coupled to the earphones holder and are only able to be in the use condition when not coupled to the earphones holder.
An earphone comprising:
- a. one or more sensors for sensing a use condition and a non-use condition of the earphone;
- b. a wireless control device, wherein the wireless control device sends a signal to an electronic device to transmit sound to the earphone and power is used to drive the earphone when the use condition is sensed, and wherein power is not used to drive the earphone if a non-use condition is sensed;
- and
- c. one or more earphone magnets for releasably coupling the earphone with an earphones holder, wherein the one or more sensors sense when the earphones are not coupled to the earphones holder and further wherein the earphones are always in the non-use condition when coupled to the earphones holder and are only able to be in the use condition when not coupled to the earphones holder.
