In-ear Electrical Potential Sensor
Aspects of the present disclosure provide an audio product for obtaining biologically-relevant information associated with a user comprising. The audio product includes at least two electrodes, a processor, and an electroacoustic transducer coupled to the processor. The processor is configured to receive at least one signal affected by an action of the user obtained via the first electrode or the second electrode and take one or more actions based on the at least one signal. The at least one action may control another device, in an effort to provide hands-free control of the other device.

- 1. An audio product for obtaining biologically-relevant information associated with a user comprising:
a first electrode placed on an ear tip of the audio product; a second electrode placed on the audio product; a processor coupled to the first and second electrodes, wherein the processor is configured to:
receive at least one signal affected by an action of the user obtained via the first electrode or the second electrode; and
take one or more actions to wirelessly control a device based on the at least one signal, wherein taking the one or more actions comprises one of adjusting a volume of an output of the device or entering a low power state at the device; and
an electroacoustic transducer coupled to the processor.
- 10. An audio product for obtaining biologically-relevant information associated with a user comprising:
a first electrode placed on an ear tip of the audio product; a second electrode placed on the audio product; a processor coupled to the first and second electrodes, wherein the processor is configured to:
associate an eye movement pattern of the user with a command for an external device;
receive at least one signal affected by an action of the user obtained via the first electrode or the second electrode and detect the eye movement pattern based on the signals;
infer a state of the user based on signals received via at least one of the first electrode or the second electrode; and
take one or more actions to wirelessly control the external device based, at least in part, on the association; and
an electroacoustic transducer coupled to the processor.
- 11. An audio product for obtaining biologically-relevant information associated with a user comprising:
a first electrode placed on an ear tip of the audio product a second electrode placed on the audio product; a processor coupled to the first and second electrodes, wherein the processor is configured to:
receive at least one signal affected by an action of the user obtained via the first electrode or the second electrode;
infer a state of the user based on signals received via at least one of the first electrode or the second electrode, wherein inferring the state of the user comprises tracking facial movements of the user using signals received via at least one of the first electrode or the second electrode; and
take one or more actions to wirelessly control a device based on the at least one signal and the facial movements of the user; and
an electroacoustic transducer coupled to the processor.
- 14. An audio product for obtaining biologically-relevant information associated with a user comprising:
a first electrode placed on an ear tip of the audio product a second electrode placed on the audio product; a processor coupled to the first and second electrodes, wherein the processor is configured to:
receive at least one signal affected by an action of the user obtained via the first electrode or the second electrode;
infer a state of the user based on signals received via at least one of the first electrode or the second electrode, wherein inferring the state of the user comprises
processing the received signals to determine presence of alpha waves in the received signals, and determining eyes of the user are closed in response to the determined presence of alpha waves;
take one or more actions to wirelessly control a device based on the at least one signal, wherein the one or more actions comprises adjusting a volume of music played by the device or entering a low power mode at the device; and
an electroacoustic transducer coupled to the processor.
- 15. A wearable audio product including an electroacoustic transducer for obtaining biologically-relevant information associated with a user comprising:
a first electrode placed on an ear tip of the audio product; a second electrode placed on the audio product; and a processor coupled to the first and second electrodes, wherein the processor is configured to:
receive signals affected by an action of the user obtained via the first electrode or the second electrode,
identify a movement associated with the user based on the received signals; and
wirelessly control device based, at least in part, on the movement,
- 17. (canceled)
- 19. A wearable audio product including an electroacoustic transducer for obtaining biologically-relevant information associated with a user comprising:
a first electrode placed on an ear tip of the audio product; a second electrode placed on the audio product; and a processor coupled to the first and second electrodes, wherein the processor is configured to:
measure a change in electrical potential associated with the user and movement of the audio product based on signals obtained via the first electrode or the second electrode,
identify a pattern of movements associated with the user based on the measured change and movement of the audio product; and
wirelessly control a device based, at least in part, on the identified pattern, wherein controlling the device comprises one of adjusting a volume of an output of the device or entering a low power state at the device.
