Patent Images
1. A two-way communication system, comprising:
- a mouthpiece component having a housing which is configured for temporary securement upon a tooth or teeth of a user, wherein the housing has at least one integrated antenna, and wherein the housing has an actuator configured to provide bone conduction sound transmission into the tooth or teeth of the user;
an infrastructure communication device configured to transmit or receive signals from the mouthpiece component to a remote communication device; and
a relay component in communication with the mouthpiece component and configured to interface between the mouthpiece component and the infrastructure communication device,wherein the mouthpiece component further comprises a microphone integrated within the housing,wherein the housing has a housing first portion and a housing second portion, wherein the housing first portion has the microphone and the housing second portion has the actuator, wherein the housing first portion and the housing second portion are configured to be on opposite sides of the tooth or teeth when the housing is secured to the tooth or teeth, and wherein the housing second portion is configured to contact the tooth or teeth when the housing is secured to the tooth or teeth.

26. A two-way communication system, comprising:
-
a mouthpiece component having a housing which is configured for temporary securement upon a tooth or teeth of a user, wherein the housing has at least one integrated antenna, and wherein the housing has an actuator configured to vibrate against the tooth or teeth to provide the user with incoming audio transmissions via bone conduction; an infrastructure communication device configured to wirelessly transmit or receive signals from the mouthpiece component to a remote communication device; a relay component in communication with the mouthpiece component and configured to wirelessly interface between the mouthpiece component and the infrastructure communication device; and a system control in communication with the relay component and configured to wirelessly provide an input to the relay component, wherein the housing has a housing first portion and a housing second portion, wherein the housing first portion has a microphone and the housing second portion has the actuator, wherein when the housing is secured to the tooth or teeth, the housing second portion is configured to contact the tooth or teeth, wherein when the housing is secured to the tooth or teeth, the housing first portion is configured to be on a lingual side of the tooth or teeth and the housing second portion is configured to be on a buccal side of the tooth or teeth, wherein the housing second portion has a tooth contact portion configured to fit in an interproximal space between two adjacent teeth, wherein the tooth contact portion is configured to vibrate to transmit audio signals into the tooth or teeth, wherein the housing first portion is coupled to the housing second portion via a connector, and wherein the connector extends partially around a posterior-most tooth of the tooth or teeth when the housing is secured to the tooth or teeth. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29)
