Abstract
Systems and methods for controlling devices through gestures sensed via an earbud. The earbud can include a set of electrodes configured to contact particular anatomic locations on an individual's ear. Based on electrophysiologic signals sensed via the electrode assembly, the system can identify gestures being performed by the user and control the external device accordingly.
Claims17
An earbud comprising:
- a first electrode positioned to physically contact a first anatomic location of an ear of a user when the earbud is worn by the user;
- a second electrode positioned to physically contact a second anatomic location of the ear when the earbud is worn by the user;
- a third electrode positioned to physically contact a third anatomic location of the ear when the earbud is worn by the user;
- and
- a controller coupled to the first electrode, the second electrode, and the third electrode, the controller programmed to:
- receive an electrophysiologic measurement from each of the first electrode, the second electrode, and the third electrode,
- determine a gesture being performed by the user based on the received electrophysiologic measurements, and
- transmit the determined gesture to an external device for control thereof.
