Vehicle to vehicle communications using ear pieces
View Patent ↗A system includes a vehicle, a vehicle network disposed within the vehicle, and at least one earpiece for use within the vehicle. The vehicle is configured to wirelessly communicate with the at least one wireless earpiece within the vehicle. The vehicle is configured to wirelessly communication with at least one wireless earpiece within a separate and independent vehicle. A method includes sensing data with a sensor of a wireless earpiece within a first vehicle to provide sensed data, determining by the wireless earpiece within the first vehicle an alert condition based on the sensed data, and wirelessly communicating a message from a wireless earpiece within a first vehicle to a wireless ear piece within a second vehicle, the message indicating occurrence of the alert condition.
1. A system comprising:
a vehicle;
a vehicle network disposed within the vehicle;
a set of wireless earpieces comprising a left wireless earpiece and a right wireless earpiece for use by an individual within the vehicle, each of the left wireless earpiece and the right wireless earpiece comprising an earpiece housing, an intelligent control system disposed within the earpiece housing, a speaker operatively connected to the intelligent control system, a microphone operatively connected to the intelligent control system and an inertial sensor operatively connected to the intelligent control system and wherein at least one of the left wireless earpiece and the right wireless earpiece further comprises a health monitoring sensor operatively connected to the intelligent control system;
wherein the vehicle is configured to receive sensor data from the set of wireless earpieces within the vehicle, the sensor data comprising inertial sensor data from the inertial sensors of the set of wireless earpieces and health monitoring data from the health monitoring sensor of the at least one wireless earpiece;
wherein the vehicle is configured to receive sensor data from a second set of wireless earpieces within a separate and independent vehicle;
wherein the vehicle is configured to perform a vehicle operation based on the sensor data from the set of wireless earpieces within the vehicle or the second set of wireless earpieces within the separate and independent vehicle.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein the sensor data from the second set of wireless earpieces within the separate and independent vehicle is communicated between the vehicle network of the vehicle and a vehicle network of the separate and independent vehicle.
3. The system of claim 1 wherein the sensor data from the second set of wireless earpieces within the separate and independent vehicle is communicated to the set of wireless earpieces within the vehicle and from the set of wireless earpieces within the vehicle to the vehicle network of the vehicle.
4. The system of claim 1 wherein the set of wireless earpieces for use by the individual within the vehicle is configured to determine a warning condition based on sensed data from the inertial sensor.
5. The system of claim 1 wherein the vehicle network is configured to electronically send a warning message to the second set of wireless earpieces within the separate and independent vehicle.
6. The system of claim 1 wherein the vehicle network is configured to electronically receive a warning message from the second set of wireless earpieces within the separate and independent vehicle.
7. The system of claim 1 wherein the set of wireless earpieces for use by the individual within the vehicle is configured to determine a warning condition based the health monitoring data.
8. A method comprising:
providing a set of wireless earpieces comprising a left wireless earpiece and a right wireless earpiece wherein each of the left wireless earpiece and the right wireless earpiece comprising an earpiece housing, an intelligent control system disposed within the earpiece housing, a speaker operatively connected to the intelligent control system, a microphone operatively connected to the intelligent control system and an inertial sensor operatively connected to the intelligent control system and wherein at least one of the left wireless earpiece and the right wireless earpiece further comprises a health monitoring sensor operatively connected to the intelligent control system;
sensing inertial data with the inertial sensor of the left wireless earpiece and the inertial sensor of the right wireless earpiece of the set of wireless earpieces within a first vehicle;
sensing health data with a health monitoring sensor of the set of wireless earpieces within the first vehicle
determining by the set of wireless earpieces within the first vehicle an alert condition based on at least one of the inertial data and the health data; and
wirelessly communicating a message from the set of wireless earpieces within a first vehicle to a wireless ear piece within a second vehicle, the message indicating occurrence of the alert condition.
9. A method comprising:
providing a set of wireless earpieces comprising a left wireless earpiece and a right wireless earpiece wherein each of the left wireless earpiece and the right wireless earpiece comprising an earpiece housing, an intelligent control system disposed within the earpiece housing, a speaker operatively connected to the intelligent control system, a microphone operatively connected to the intelligent control system and an inertial sensor operatively connected to the intelligent control system and wherein at least one of the left wireless earpiece and the right wireless earpiece further comprises a health monitoring sensor operatively connected to the intelligent control system;
sensing inertial data with an inertial sensor of at least one of the left wireless or the right wireless earpiece within a first vehicle;
sensing physiological data with a physiological sensor of at least one of the left wireless earpiece or the right wireless earpiece within the first vehicle;
determining by at least one of the left wireless earpiece and the right wireless earpiece within the first vehicle an alert condition based on sensed data comprising the inertial data and the physiological data; and
wirelessly communicating a message from the wireless earpiece within the first vehicle to a second vehicle, the message indicating occurrence of the alert condition.
