Wireless earpiece with force feedback
In some embodiments, a method for providing feedback through wireless earpieces, may have one or more of the following steps: (a) detecting a position of the wireless earpieces in ears of a user utilizing a number of contacts, (b) analyzing how to modify communications with the user based on the position, (c) communicating with the user utilizing the analysis, (d) adjusting an orientation of one or more speakers of the wireless earpieces in response to the position, and (e) adjusting a plurality of sensors in response to the position.
1. A wireless earpiece, comprising:
a frame for fitting in an ear of a user;
a processor integrated with the frame for controlling functionality of the wireless earpiece;
a plurality of contacts operatively connected to the processor for determining a fit of the wireless earpiece within the ear of the user and determining a structure of the ear; and
at least one speaker operatively connected to the processor and mounted to the frame via an actuator for communicating audio;
wherein the processor processes input from the plurality of contacts for determining the fit of the wireless earpiece within the ear of the user; and
wherein the processor analyzes how to maximize communication of the audio with the user based on the fit of the wireless earpiece and the structure of the ear of the user relative to an orientation of the at least one speaker, and adjusts the actuator to communicate the audio via the at least one speaker with the user utilizing the analysis
wherein the at least one speaker communicates the audio.
2. The wireless earpiece of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of contacts include optical sensors for determining an external shape of the ear of the user.
3. The wireless earpiece of claim 1 , wherein the processor alerts the user of improper positioning of the wireless earpieces within the ear of the user.
4. The wireless earpiece of claim 1 , wherein amplitudes and frequencies of the at least one speaker of the wireless earpiece are adjusted in response to the fit of the wireless earpiece.
5. The wireless earpiece of claim 4 , wherein the adjusting of the amplitudes and the frequencies is performed iteratively by the processor.
