Wearable helmet system with integrated peripherals

Abstract

A Wearable Helmet System with Integrated Peripherals may be provided. In some embodiments, the integrated peripherals may be provided without a helmet, but configured to be adapted into a hard-shell headgear to form a helmet system consistent with embodiments of the present disclosure. The hard-shell headgear system may comprise a helmet adapted for sports play. The hard-shell headgear may be integrated with a plurality of peripheral devices such as, for example, but not limited to, at least one camera configured to capture video data, at least one microphone configured to capture audio data, a communications module, a power module, and a processing module. The processing module is configured to control an operation of the integrated peripheral devices based on, for example, but not limited to, instructions received via the communications module and a location of the hard-shell headgear.

The following is claimed: 
     
         1 . An apparatus comprising:
 at least one elastomer gasket housing components configured to enable at least one camera configured to capture video data;   at least one microphone configured to capture audio data;   a communications module;   a location detection module;   a power module; and   a processing module, wherein the processing module is configured to control an operation of one of the following: the at least one camera, the at least one microphone, the at least one data communication device, and the power module, based on at least one of the following:   a location of the apparatus, and   an instruction received from the communications module.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein, the at least one elastomer gasket further comprises a foam structure. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the at least one elastomer gasket further comprises a foam padding. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the at least one elastomer gasket further comprises one or more thermoplastic elastomers. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the at least one elastomer gasket is attached to hardshell headgear. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 5  wherein the hardshell headgear is configured to provide increased protection on high impact. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 5  wherein the hardshell headgear comprises a lightweight material. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 5  wherein the hardshell headgear is adapted for sports play. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the at least one camera configured to capture video data is adapted to track eye movement. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the at least one camera configured to capture video data is adapted to track eye dilation. 
     
     
         11 . An apparatus comprising:
 at least one elastomer gasket housing one or more electronic components, wherein the one or more electronic components comprise:
 at least one wireless element comprising
 at least one receiver configured to receive content, and 
 at least one transmitter configured to broadcast content, 
 
 at least one camera configured to capture content, and 
 at least one microphone configured to capture content. 
   
     
     
         12 . A system comprising:
 a hard-shell headgear configured to provide increased protection on high impact;   at least one elastomer gasket housing within the hard-shell headgear;   one or more electronic components comprising:
 at least one camera configured to capture video data, 
 at least one microphone configured to capture audio data, and 
 a wireless element comprising:
 at least one receiver configured to receive a multimedia data, and 
 at least one transmitter configured to broadcast the multimedia data. 
 
   
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the at least one elastomer gasket further comprises a foam structure. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the at least one elastomer gasket further comprises a foam padding. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the at least one elastomer gasket further comprises one or more thermoplastic elastomers. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the at least one elastomer gasket is attached to the hard-shell headgear. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the hard-shell headgear comprises a lightweight material. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the hard-shell headgear is adapted for sports play. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the hard-shell headgear further comprises helmet cushioning fibers. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 19 , wherein the electronic components may be installed in between the hard-shell headgear and at least one of: the at least one elastomer gasket and the helmet cushioning fibers.
