Abstract

A system, method and personal area network for displaying content utilizing wireless earpieces. The wireless earpieces are linked with smart glasses. The smart glasses include a number of cameras. User input is received through the wireless earpieces. A command associated with the user input is sent to display the content from the number of cameras in response to the user input received through the wireless earpieces.

Claims

1. A method for displaying content utilizing wireless earpieces, comprising:

linking the wireless earpieces with a device having a display;

receiving user input through the wireless earpieces;

sending a command to the device having the display to display the content on the display in response to the user input received through the wireless earpieces.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the device having the display comprises smart glasses.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the wireless earpieces are linked with the smart glasses utilizing a bluetooth connection.

7. The method of claim 2, wherein the smart glasses implement the command received from the wireless earpieces.

8. The method of claim 2, wherein the command controls information displayed to one or more lenses of the smart glasses.

9. The method of claim 2, wherein lenses of the smart glasses dynamically adapt to vision of a user.

10. The method of claim 1 wherein the device having the display is a smart watch.

11. The method of claim 1, further comprising sending data from the wireless earpieces to the device having the display.

12. The method of claim 11 wherein the data is biometric data sensed by sensors of the wireless earpieces, the method further comprising displaying the biometric information mi the display.

16. The wireless communications system of claim 12 wherein the device comprises glasses with a display.

4. The method of claim wherein 2 wherein the smart glasses comprise a plurality of cameras.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the plurality of cameras provide at least side views and a rear view.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the plurality of cameras are integrated with a frame of the smart glasses.

13. A wearable system, comprising:

wireless earpieces fitting in ears of a user, the wireless earpieces are configured to receive user input and send a command to a display of a body worn device in response to the user input;

the body worn device linked with the wireless earpieces, and wherein the wireless earpieces send a command to the body worn device to display content in response to the receiving the user input.

14. The wearable system of claim 13 wherein the content is based on data sensed using the wireless earpieces.

15. The wearable system of claim 14 wherein the data sensed using the wireless earpieces is biometric data.
