Abstract

An earpiece adapted for being worn by a user includes an earpiece housing, at least one microphone within the earpiece housing, a speaker within the earpiece housing, and a pulse oximeter associated with the earpiece housing. The device may further include an intelligent control operatively connected to the pulse oximeter, a short range transceiver operatively connected to the intelligent control, and a temperature sensor.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An earpiece comprising:
 an earpiece housing;   a short range transceiver disposed within the ear piece housing;   an intelligent control operatively connected to the short range transceiver;   a speaker operatively connected to the intelligent control;   at least one microphone operatively connected to the intelligent control; and   an expansion slot in the ear piece housing and configured to receive a module.   
     
     
         2 . The earpiece of  claim 1  further comprising a pulse oximeter disposed within the ear piece housing and operatively connected to the intelligent control. 
     
     
         3 . The earpiece of  claim 2  further comprising a temperature sensor disposed within the ear piece housing and operatively connected to the intelligent control. 
     
     
         4 . The earpiece of  claim 1  wherein the at least one microphone includes a hone microphone. 
     
     
         5 . The earpiece of  claim 1  wherein the at least one microphone includes an air microphone. 
     
     
         6 . The earpiece of  claim 1  wherein the at least one microphone includes both a bone microphone and an air microphone. 
     
     
         7 . The earpiece of  claim 6  wherein the intelligent control processes signals from the one microphone and the air microphone to remove ambient noise. 
     
     
         8 . The earpiece of  claim 1  wherein the intelligent control is adapted to produce speech at the speaker. 
     
     
         9 . An earpiece comprising;
 an ear piece housing;   a short range transceiver disposed within the ear piece housing;   an intelligent control operatively connected to the short range transceiver;   a speaker operatively connected to the intelligent control;   at least one microphone operatively connected to the intelligent control; and   a module stored within the ear piece housing.   
     
     
         10 . The earpiece of  claim 9  further comprising a pulse oximeter disposed, within the ear piece housing and operatively connected to the intelligent control. 
     
     
         11 . The earpiece of  claim 10  further comprising a temperature sensor disposed within the ear piece housing and operatively connected to the intelligent control. 
     
     
         12 . The earpiece of  claim 3  wherein the at least one microphone includes a bone microphone. 
     
     
         13 . The earpiece of  claim 9  wherein the at least one microphone includes an air microphone. 
     
     
         14 . The earpiece of  claim 9  wherein the at least one microphone includes both a bone microphone and an air microphone. 
     
     
         15 . The earpiece of  claim 14  wherein the intelligent control processes signals from the bone microphone and the air microphone to remove ambient noise. 
     
     
         16 . The earpiece of  claim 9  wherein the intelligent control is adapted to produce speech at the speaker. 
     
     
         17 . The earpiece of  claim 16  wherein the speech is in a foreign language as translated by the earpiece.
