Abstract
A wearable multifunction device or earpiece or a pair of earpieces includes one or more processors, at least one microphone coupled to the one or more processors, a biometric sensor coupled to the one or more processors, and a memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory having computer instructions causing the one or more processors to perform the operations of sensing a remaining battery life and based on the sensing, prioritizing one or more of the functions of always on recording, biometric measuring, biometric recording, sound pressure level measuring, voice activity detection, key word detection, key word analysis, personal audio assistant functions, transmission of data to a tethered phone, transmission of data to a server, transmission of data to a cloud device.
Claims20
A wearable, comprising:
- a first earpiece having
- a first wireless module to send data wirelessly to a mobile phone or to a cloud,
- a plurality of first microphones to produce first audio data,
- a first motion sensor to produce first motion data, and
- a first processor that is configured to:
- perform first digital signal processing on the first audio data or the first motion data;
- determine whether the first earpiece is limited in power resources or processing resources;
- and
- shift or pass the first digital signal processing to the mobile phone or to the cloud by using the first wireless module to transfer the first audio data or the first motion data to the mobile phone or to the cloud, in response to determining that the first earpiece is limited in power resources or processing resources.
A method for efficiency among devices, the method comprising:
- performing, by a first processor in a first earpiece, digital signal processing on first data in the first earpiece;
- determining whether the first earpiece is limited in power resources or processing resources;
- and
- shifting or passing the digital signal processing to a mobile phone or to a cloud by using a first wireless module in the first earpiece to transfer the first data wirelessly to the mobile phone or to the cloud, in response to determining that the first earpiece is limited in power resources or processing resources.
A memory comprising instructions stored in the memory that configure a first processor in a first earpiece to:
- perform first digital signal processing on a first data in the first earpiece;
- determine whether the first earpiece is limited in power resources or processing resources;
- and
- shift or pass the first digital signal processing to a mobile phone or to a cloud by using a first wireless module in the first earpiece to transfer the first data wirelessly to the mobile phone or to the cloud, in response to determining that the first earpiece is limited in power resources or processing resources.
