Abstract

In one embodiment, an eyeglass frame includes a lens holder, a first temple with a first end close to the lens holder and a second end, a second temple, an electrical connector and a printed circuit board. The printed circuit board with at least one electrical component can be in the first temple. The connector can be close to the first end of the first temple, facing downward, and electrically connected to the at least one electrical component. In an embodiment, a pair of glasses can perform hearing enhanced functions to enhance audio signals for the user to hear. One embodiment is configured to be a headset. One embodiment has audio and/or textual output capabilities for a user to communicate in different ways depending on configuration, user preferences, prior history, etc. In one embodiment, the communication between users is achieved by short audio or textual messages.

Claims (42)

1. A wireless headset at least for helping a user hear audio outputs, the wireless headset comprising:

a printed circuit board in the wireless headset, the printed circuit board with at least a controller attached thereon;

a speaker in the wireless headset;

a microphone in the wireless headset; and

wireless communication circuitry,

wherein the wireless headset is configured to facilitate output of the audio outputs after modifying power of the audio outputs, at least within a range of frequencies, to help the user hear the audio outputs presented to the user via at least the speaker,

wherein the wireless communication circuitry is configured to receive at least a message,

wherein if the message is a text message, the at least a controller is configured to have at least a notification regarding the text message presented to the user, and

wherein if the message is an audio message, the at least a controller is configured to have at least a notification regarding the audio message presented to the user.

2. A wireless headset as recited in claim 1 , wherein at least the microphone is configured to receive an audio response for the message from the user.

3. A wireless headset as recited in claim 2 , wherein the at least a controller is configured to facilitate converting the audio response into text to be wirelessly transmitted.

4. A wireless headset as recited in claim 1 comprising a force sensor in the wireless headset, the force sensor configured to sense force exerted onto an area of the headset.

5. A wireless headset as recited in claim 1 comprising a storage medium in the wireless headset, the storage medium configured to store at least computer program codes for facilitating voice recognition to recognize at least a word received by at least the microphone.

6. A wireless headset as recited in claim 1 comprising another microphone in the wireless headset, the another microphone configured to capture at least sound in vicinity of the headset at least for noise cancellation, with one of the microphones closer to mouth of user than the another one of the microphones when the wireless headset is worn by the user.

7. A wireless headset as recited in claim 6 , wherein the noise cancellation is at least by cancelling a portion of the sound captured by the another microphone to produce the audio outputs.

8. A wireless headset as recited in claim 6 , wherein at least the microphone and the another microphone are configured to receive audio inputs from the user, with at least some noise in the audio inputs configured to be cancelled based on using at least the microphone and the another microphone.

9. A wireless headset as recited in claim 8 , wherein the audio outputs depend on noise cancellation using at least a portion of the sound captured by the another microphone.

10. A wireless headset as recited in claim 1 comprising an accelerometer in the wireless headset, the accelerometer configured to enable identifying a movement of the user.

11. A wireless headset as recited in claim 1 comprising a flexible printed circuit board in the wireless headset.

12. A wireless headset as recited in claim 1 , wherein the wireless headset is configured to assist in determining at least a hearing characteristic of the user.

13. A wireless headset as recited in claim 12 , wherein the wireless headset is configured to be worn in an ear of the user, and to assist in determining at least the hearing characteristic of the user based on at least generating a signal for the user and keeping track of at least a reaction from the user regarding the signal.

14. A wireless headset as recited in claim 1 comprising a sensor in the wireless headset, the sensor configured to provide at least an indication regarding whether the wireless headset is being worn.

15. A wireless headset as recited in claim 14 comprising another microphone in the wireless headset, the another microphone configured to capture at least sound in vicinity of the headset at least for noise cancellation, with one of the microphones closer to mouth of user than the another one of the microphones when the wireless headset is worn by the user.

16. A wireless headset as recited in claim 15 , wherein at least the microphone and the another microphone are configured to receive audio inputs from the user, with at least some noise in the audio inputs configured to be cancelled based on using at least the microphone and the another microphone.

17. A wireless headset as recited in claim 16 , wherein the audio outputs depend on noise cancellation using at least a portion of the sound captured by the another microphone.

18. A wireless headset as recited in claim 17 comprising a motion sensor in the wireless headset, the motion sensor configured to enable identifying a movement of the user.

19. A wireless headset as recited in claim 18 comprising a storage medium in the wireless headset, the storage medium configured to store at least computer program codes for facilitating voice recognition to recognize at least a word received by at least the microphone.

20. A wireless headset at least for helping a user hear audio outputs, the wireless headset comprising:

a printed circuit board in the wireless headset, the printed circuit board with at least a controller attached thereon;

a speaker in the wireless headset;

a microphone in the wireless headset;

another microphone in the wireless headset, the another microphone configured to capture at least sound in vicinity of the headset at least for noise cancellation, with one of the microphones closer to mouth of user than the another one of the microphones when the wireless headset is worn by the user;

a sensor in the wireless headset, the sensor configured to provide at least an indication regarding whether the wireless headset is being worn;

wireless communication circuitry in the wireless headset; and

a storage medium in the wireless headset, the storage medium configured to store at least computer program codes for facilitating voice recognition to recognize at least a word received by at least the microphone,

wherein the wireless headset is configured to facilitate output of the audio outputs after modifying power of the audio outputs, at least within a range of frequencies, to help the user hear the audio outputs presented to the user via at least the speaker,

wherein at least the microphone and the another microphone are configured to receive audio inputs from the user, with at least some noise in the audio inputs configured to be cancelled based on using at least the microphone and the another microphone,

wherein the wireless communication circuitry is configured to receive at least a message,

wherein if the message is a text message, the at least a controller is configured to have at least a notification regarding the text message presented to the user, and

wherein if the message is an audio message, the at least a controller is configured to have at least a notification regarding the audio message presented to the user.

21. A wireless headset as recited in claim 20 , wherein the wireless headset is configured to assist in determining at least a hearing characteristic of the user based on at least generating a signal for the user and keeping track of at least a reaction from the user regarding the signal.

22. A wireless headset as recited in claim 21 , wherein the wireless headset is configured to be wirelessly coupled to another apparatus, with at least a portion of the hearing characteristic stored in the another apparatus.
