Ear based contextual environment and biometric pattern recognition system and method
First Claim
1. A method of providing ear-based contextual environment and biometric pattern recognition using an earpiece including an earpiece housing, an intelligent control disposed within the earpiece housing, a speaker operatively connected to the intelligent control, a microphone operatively connected to the intelligent control, the method comprising:
- sensing at least one physiological parameter of a user of the earpiece with at least one biometric sensor operatively connected to the intelligent control;
sensing at least one environmental parameter of a plurality of environmental parameters, with at least one environmental sensor of a plurality of environmental sensors operatively connected to the intelligent control, wherein the at least one environmental parameter is sensed based on a location of the user;
monitoring the at least one environmental parameter of the plurality of environmental parameters with the at least one environmental sensor, wherein a measurement interval associated with the monitoring of the at least one environmental parameter of the plurality of environmental parameters is decreased in response to the at least one environmental parameter of the plurality of environmental parameters exceeding a specific level;
performing pattern recognition analysis at the intelligent control of the earpiece using the at least one environmental parameter and the at least one physiological parameter as input to identify an alert condition; and
generating an audible alert to the user using the speaker when the pattern recognition analysis indicates presence of the alert condition, wherein the audible alert identifies actionable options to the user.
