EAR MOUNTED COMMUNICATION DEVICES AND METHODS
First Claim
1. A wireless communication device, comprising:
- a housing;
a wireless transceiver supported by the housing, the wireless transceiver being configured to communicate with a cellular base station;
a power source coupled to the wireless transceiver supported by the housing, the power source having sufficient energy to power the wireless transceiver for communication with the cellular base station;
an antenna coupled to the wireless transceiver supported by the housing, the antenna being configured to propagate wave energy primarily in a direction about the power source; and
an earmount attached to the housing at a portion proximate to the power source.

Abstract
Disclosed is a wireless communication device including a housing and an earmount attached to the housing. A wireless transceiver is supported by the housing, the wireless transceiver being configured to communicate with a cellular base station. A power source supported by the housing can be coupled to the wireless transceiver, the power source having sufficient energy to power the wireless transceiver for communication with the cellular base station. The earmount is attached to the housing at a portion proximate to the power source. An antenna supported by the housing is coupled to the wireless transceiver, the antenna being configured to propagate wave energy primarily in a direction about the power source.
