External vibration reduction in bone-conduction speaker

1. An apparatus comprising:

a support structure, wherein the support structure comprises a front section and a side section, wherein a recessed structure is disposed within the side section and, wherein the recessed structure comprises at least one member that extends from the recessed structure; and

a bone-conduction transducer, wherein the bone-conduction transducer comprises a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion is in contact with the at least one member such that at least one gap is defined between the bone-conduction transducer and the recessed structure, and wherein when the support structure is worn, the second portion is in contact with a wearer so as to transmit a target vibration of the second portion to a bone structure of the wearer,

wherein the at least one member is configured to transmit a vibration of the first portion of the bone-conduction transducer to the recessed structure.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:

the target vibration of the second portion of the bone-conduction transducer is generated based on an audio signal, and

the vibration of the first portion of the bone-conduction transducer results from the target vibration.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the bone-conduction transducer is in contact with the at least one member without the bone-conduction transducer being in contact with the recessed structure.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first portion of the bone-conduction transducer is in contact with both the at least one member and the recessed structure.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:

the at least one member comprises multiple members, and

the multiple members comprise a first member that is oriented in a first direction and a second member that is oriented in a different second direction.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each of the at least one member is substantially pliable.

7. An apparatus comprising:

a support structure, wherein a recessed structure is disposed within the support structure, and wherein a cavity is defined in the recessed structure; and

at least one member, wherein the at least one member extends from the recessed structure toward the cavity,

wherein the support structure is configured to receive a bone-conduction transducer in the cavity such that the at least one member contacts a first portion of the bone-conduction transducer and such that at least one gap is defined between the recessed structure and the bone-conduction transducer, wherein the support structure is further configured such that, when the support structure is worn, a second portion of the bone-conduction transducer contacts a wearer so as to transmit a target vibration of the second portion to a bone structure of the wearer, and wherein the support structure is further configured to transmit a vibration resulting from the target vibration to the recessed structure by way of the at least one member.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the at least one member is configured to contact the first portion of the bone-conduction transducer such that the recessed structure does not contact the bone-conduction transducer.

9. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the at least one member is configured to contact the first portion of the bone-conduction transducer such that the recessed structure also contacts the bone-conduction transducer.

10. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein:

the at least one member comprises multiple members, and

the multiple members comprise a first member that is oriented in a first direction and a second member that is oriented in a different second direction.

11. The apparatus of claim 7 , further comprising the bone-conduction transducer.

12. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein each of the at least one member is substantially pliable.

13. A head-mountable device comprising the apparatus of claim 7 , a front section, and a side section, wherein the apparatus is disposed in the side section.

14. An apparatus comprising:

a support structure, wherein a recessed structure is disposed within the support structure, and wherein a cavity is defined in the recessed structure;

two or more members, wherein the two or more members extend from the recessed structure toward the cavity, wherein the two or more members are arranged to receive a bone-conduction transducer in the cavity such that the two or more members contact a first portion of the bone-conduction transducer without the recessed structure contacting the bone-conduction transducer, wherein the two or more members are configured to support the bone-conduction transducer during a target vibration of a second portion of the bone-conduction transducer, and wherein the two or more members are further configured to transmit a resulting vibration of the first portion to the recessed structure.

15. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein:

the two or more members are configured to contact two or more areas of the bone-conduction transducer; and

the two or more members are further configured to transmit the resulting vibration of the first portion to two or more areas of the recessed structure.

16. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the two or more members are integrally formed with the recessed structure.

17. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the two or more members comprise a first member that is oriented in a first direction and a second member that is oriented in a different second direction.

18. The apparatus of claim 14 , further comprising the bone-conduction transducer.

19. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein each of the two or more members is substantially pliable.

20. A head-mountable device comprising the apparatus of claim 14 , a front section, and a side section, wherein the apparatus is disposed in the side section.
