Wearable integration with helmet

Abstract

A system includes a safety helmet and an earpiece, wherein the earpiece is configured to determine when a user of the earpiece is wearing the safety helmet. The earpiece may include a touch surface and at least one sensor associated with the touch surface and wherein the earpiece is configured to ignore input at the touch surface when the user of the earpiece is wearing the safety helmet. A method includes sensing by an earpiece that a user is wearing a helmet and deactivating sensors associated with a touch input area on the ear piece when the user is wearing the helmet. A method includes charging an earpiece using a battery of a helmet while a user is wearing the earpiece and the helmet. A method includes communicating data from one or more sensors of a helmet or one or more sensors of a motorcycle to an earpiece and providing audio output indicating of the data to a user through a speaker of the earpiece.
