Abstract
A device is provided with a housing adapted to engage a portion of a head of a user, such as the ear of the user. The device includes a camera component adapted to face in the same direction as the user when engaged with the portion of the head of the user. The device may be adapted to be controlled using voice commands from the user.
Claims19
A wireless device comprising:
- a wireless communications circuit mounted in a wireless headset and adapted to provide control data used to wirelessly control a cellular telephone device separate from the wireless headset;
- wherein the wireless headset is adapted to engage a portion of a head a user;
- an audio output component communicatively coupled to the wireless communications circuit to receive signals from the wireless communications circuit and deliver audio output to the user representing the received signals;
- an audio input component, mounted in the wireless headset, communicatively coupled to the wireless communications circuit to supply audio signals, representing the user's voice, to the wireless communications circuit;
- wherein at least one of the audio input component mounted in the wireless headset or the wireless communications circuit mounted in the wireless headset is configured to interpret voice commands received from the user without other input from the user, and, based on the interpreted voice commands create the control data which is used to wirelessly control the cellular telephone device;
- and
- a camera component, including an imaging chip adapted to sense light impinging on the imaging chip, mounted in the wireless headset and communicatively coupled to the wireless communications circuit for supplying image signals representing images captured by the camera component to the wireless communications circuit, the camera component configured to face in the same direction as the user when the wireless headset is engaged with the portion of the head of the user.
A system comprising;
- a wireless communications circuit mounted in a wireless headset and adapted to provide control data used to wirelessly control a cellular telephone device separate from the wireless headset;
- the wireless headset adapted to engage a portion of a head of a user;
- an audio output component mechanically mounted in the wireless headset and communicatively coupled to the wireless communications circuit to receive signals from the wireless communications circuit and deliver sound to the user representing the received signals;
- an audio input component, mounted in the wireless headset. mechanically mounted in the wireless headset and communicatively coupled to the wireless communications circuit to supply audio signals representing the user's voice to the wireless communications circuit;
- wherein at least one of the audio input component mounted in the wireless headset or the wireless communications circuit mounted in the wireless headset is configured to interpret voice commands received from the user without other input from the user, and, based on the interpreted voice commands create the control data which is used to wirelessly control the cellular telephone device;
- and
- a camera component, including an imaging chip adapted to sense light impinging on the imaging chip, mounted in the wireless headset and communicatively coupled to the wireless communications circuit for supplying image signals representing images captured by the camera component to the wireless communications circuit, the camera component configured to face in the same direction as the user when the wireless headset is engaged with the portion of the head of the user.
One or more non-transitory computer readable storage media storing one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform:
- providing control data, by a wireless communications circuit mounted in a wireless headset adapted to engage a portion of a head a user, the control data being used to wirelessly control a cellular telephone device separate from the wireless headset;
- receiving signals from the wireless communications circuit and delivering audio output to the user representing the received signals, by an audio output component communicatively coupled to the wireless communications circuit;
- supplying audio signals, representing the user' s voice, to the wireless communications circuit, by an audio input component mounted in the wireless headset and communicatively coupled to the wireless communications circuit;
- interpreting voice commands received from the user by at least one of the audio input component mounted in the wireless headset or the wireless communications circuit mounted in the wireless headset without other input from the user, and, based on the interpreted voice commands, creating, by the wireless communications circuit, control data which is used to wirelessly control the cellular telephone device;
- and
- supplying image signals representing images captured by a camera component including an imaging chip adapted to sense light impinging on the imaging chip to the wireless communications circuit, by the camera component mounted in the wireless headset and communicatively coupled to the wireless communications circuit configured to face in the same direction as the user when the wireless headset is engaged with the portion of the head of the user.
