Abstract
One or more accelerometers embedded with an earbud and/or a set of earphones are able to sense a moving pace of a user. Based on a moving pace of the user, a signal is sent to a remotely connected electronic device. The electronic device is able to separately increase and decrease a beat or rhythm of the audio from the electronic device based on a pace of the user. In some embodiments, an audio alert is sent to the user to inform the user of pace and whether the user has increased or decreased their pace. Additionally, in some embodiments, a program stored on the electronic device is used to compare the user's current progress and/or speed based on past runs and workouts.
Claims26
A system for transmitting audio to a user comprising:
- a. one or more earbud accelerometers for sensing a moving pace of a user when an earbud is being worn by the user;
- b. an audio output circuit configured to output audio based on the moving pace of the user;
- c. an electronic device operation circuit configured to operate a remotely connected electronic device;
- and
- d. a control device coupled to the one or more earbud accelerometers, the audio output circuit and the electronic device operation circuit, wherein the one or more earbud accelerometers send a signal to the control device based on the moving pace of the user and the control device sends a signal to one or both of the audio output circuit to output an audio message and the electronic device operation circuit to operate an electronic device.
An earbud comprising:
- a. an earbud accelerometer for sensing a moving pace of a user when the earbud is being worn by the user;
- and
- b. a control device, wherein the control device receives a signal from the earbud the earbud accelerometer and sends a signal to an electronic device operation circuit which operates a remotely connected electronic device based on the signal from the earbud accelerometer accelerometer.
A method of transmitting audio comprising:
- a. sensing a moving pace of a body;
- and
- b. based on the moving pace of the body transmitting audio from an electronic device to the body.
