相关申请的交叉引用
本申请是2013年5月10日提交的美国专利申请No.13/891,230的PCT国际申请,并要求2012年5月11日提交的美国临时申请No.61/645,722的权益。上述参考申请的全部分开内容通过引入包含于此。
技术领域
本发明涉及耳机和耳塞,并且具体地,涉及结合生理传感器的耳机或耳塞。
背景技术
该部分提供了涉及本公开的背景信息,其并不一定是现有技术。
人们在锻炼时监测他们的生理状况已经变得越来越普遍。运动器材经常包括心率监测器来测量用户的心率,但是这理应需要用户在器材处保持静止。已经开发了监测运动员心率和/或呼吸的胸带,但这些是笨重且不舒适的,并因此没有广泛使用。
最近,基于耳朵的生理监测器的发展已经表明了它们对医疗应用的接受能力。已经尝试将这些传感器结合到耳塞和耳机中。例如参见LeBoeuf等人的美国专利No.8,157,730,针对生理和环境监测的***和方法(“Physiologicaland Environmental Monitoring Systems and Methods”)。然而,将传感器保持在合适位置用于连续并准确的监测仍然是一个挑战。
发明内容
该部分提供了本公开的基本概要,并且不是本公开的全部范围或全部特征的全面公开。
一般来说,本发明的各实施方式提供了组合的耳机和生理传感器。在一些实施方式中,该类型的耳机包括其中具有扬声器的壳体,以及用于与用户耳朵结合、并将所述扬声器与用户耳朵声学地耦合的增强器。生理传感器布置在增强器上,或优选地布置在增强器内。增强器能够在其中具有至少一个孔或窗口,使得传感器能够光学地耦合至穿戴者的耳朵以提供生理数据。
在其他实施方式中,耳机和生理传感器组合包括具有耳环的耳机。发射器设置在耳机和耳环中的一个上,而接收器设置在耳机和耳环的另一个上。生理传感器能够通过穿过发射器和接收器之间的耳朵部分的光学传输来感测生理特性。
其他可应用领域将从这里提供的描述中而变得明显。该发明内容中的描述和特定例子旨在仅用于说明目的,而不旨在限制本公开的范围。
