Data manipulation using dual-frequency intraoral serpentine interconnections

An apparatus for oral data manipulation comprising:

• an embedded tongue position sensor (TPS), wherein the TPS is suitable for embedding palatally within an oral cavity of a person, and wherein the TPS detects tongue movement of the person;
• a processor coupled to the TPS, wherein the processor analyzes input from the TPS, wherein an output channel from the processor provides tongue movement data of the person, and wherein the processor is suitable for embedding palatally within the oral cavity of a person;
• a wireless connectivity device coupled to the output channel from the processor, wherein the wireless connectivity device provides an extraoral communications channel, and wherein the wireless connectivity device is suitable for embedding palatally within the oral cavity of a person;
• and
• an inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor coupled to the processor, wherein the IMU sensor is suitable for embedding palatally within the oral cavity of a person, and wherein a dual-frequency serpentine coupling provides electrical connectivity between the IMU and the processor coupled to the TPS.

A computer system for oral data manipulation comprising:

• a memory which stores instructions;
• one or more processors coupled to the memory wherein the one or more processors, when executing the instructions which are stored, are configured to:
• provide wired connectivity between a first device inside a mouth and a second device inside the mouth, wherein the wired connectivity is provided by a dual-frequency serpentine coupling, wherein the dual-frequency serpentine coupling enables three-dimensional flexibility for the coupling inside the mouth;
• provide wireless connectivity between the first device and a device outside the mouth, wherein the wireless connectivity is enabled using a wireless transceiver;
• and
• enable data transmission between the first device and the device outside the mouth.
