Abstract
A wearable device includes a housing for the wearable device, a first microphone within or on the housing, a communication module within or on the housing, a logic circuit communicatively coupled to the first microphone, a memory storage unit communicatively coupled to the logic circuit and an interaction element. The interaction element and logic circuit cooperatively initiate control of media content or initiate operations of the wearable device. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims20
A wearable device, comprising:
- a housing for the wearable device;
- an ambient microphone within or on the housing;
- a communication module within or on the housing;
- a logic circuit communicatively coupled to the ambient microphone;
- a memory storage unit communicatively coupled to the logic circuit;
- and
- an interaction element, the interaction element and logic circuit cooperatively initiate control of media content from the wearable device or initiate operations of the wearable device;
- wherein the logic circuit is configured to cooperatively initiate control of media content of the wearable device in response to analysis of audio captured at the wearable device at the ambient microphone and analyzed at a remote server in response to instructions received from the remote server.
5 more elements
A wearable device, comprising:
- a housing for the wearable device;
- an ambient microphone mounted on or within the housing;
- a communication module communicatively coupled to the ambient microphone;
- one or more processors communicatively coupled to the ambient microphone;
- a computer readable medium communicatively coupled to the one or more processors and containing instructions which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform functions comprising initiating control of audio content or initiating at least one operation of the wearable device;
- and
- wherein the one or more processors is configured to cooperatively initiate control of media content of the wearable device in response to analysis of audio captured at the wearable device at the ambient microphone and analyzed at a remote server in response to instructions received from the remote server.
4 more elements
A wearable device, comprising:
- a wearable structure having at least an ambient microphone;
- a communication module communicatively coupled to the ambient microphone;
- one or more processors communicatively coupled to the ambient microphone;
- a computer readable medium communicatively coupled to one or more processors and containing instructions which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform functions comprising initiating control of audio content accessed at the wearable device in response to detected voice commands in the captured audio;
- and
- wherein the one or more processors is configured to cooperatively initiate control of media content of the wearable device in response to analysis of audio captured at the wearable device at the ambient microphone and analyzed at a remote server in response to instructions received from the remote server.
