Intelligent switching between air conduction speakers and tissue conduction speakers
First Claim
1. A wearable device comprising:
- an air conduction speaker;
a tissue conduction speaker; and
logic, implemented in one or more of configurable logic hardware or fixed-functionality logic hardware, to;
determine a usage configuration of the wearable device,set an activation state of the air conduction speaker based at least in part on the usage configuration, andset an activation state of the tissue conduction speaker based at least part on the usage configuration,the wearable device further including one or more sensors, wherein the usage configuration is to be determined based on a set of status signals from the one or more sensors that indicate a physical position, a physical activity, a current activation state, an interpersonal proximity state and a manual user request associated with one or more of the air conduction speaker or the tissue conduction speaker.

Abstract
Systems and methods may provide for determining a usage configuration of a wearable device and setting an activation state of an air conduction speaker of the wearable device based at least in part on the usage configuration. Additionally, an activation state of a tissue conduction speaker of the wearable device may be set based at least in part on the usage configuration. In one example, the usage configuration is determined based on a set of status signals that indicate one or more of a physical position, a physical activity, a current activation state, an interpersonal proximity state or a manual user request associated with one or more of the air conduction speaker or the tissue conduction speaker.
