Abstract
The application discloses using sensors on eartips and/or earphones to monitor biometrics of a user and/or the ambient environment.
Claims15
An earphone comprising:
- an earphone;
- an eartip, where the eartip is configured to fit upon a portion of the earphone;
- and
- a biometric sensor, where the biometric sensor is configured to attach to at least one of the eartip and the earphone.
1 more element
The earphone according to claim 3, where the biometric sensor measures the spectrum of infrared radiation between a lower wavelength and a larger wavelength.
A method to monitor gas concentration levels proximal to an earphone comprising:
- receiving a gas concentration level from a gas sensor mounted on an earphone or an eartip;
- comparing the received gas concentration level to a threshold level;
- and
- issuing an alert if the received gas concentration level is greater than the threshold level.
