Wearable electronic pieces and organizer
DCFirst Claim
1. An ergonomic single ear ear wear piece of enhanced comfort for long-term wear, the piece comprising:
- a hook shaped securing extension for positioning behind a user'"'"'s ear and securing the piece thereat;
an actuator at a location of said extension to serve as a physically controlling interface for the user;
a speaker assembly for delivering sound to the user'"'"'s ear, said speaker assembly supported by said extension from a location at one side of the actuator location;
a distancing element coupling to said extension from a location at an opposite side of the actuator location; and
a casing coupled to said distancing element and of a bulk for housing a plurality of electronic components, the bulk exceeding that of said extension and said distancing element, said distancing element to displace said casing to a location between the ear and a neckline of the user when the piece is secured.

Abstract
An organizer for wearable electronic pieces or wireless communication jewelry. The pieces may be of an enhanced ergonomic form, particularly suitable for long-term wear. For example, a uniquely located actuator may be provided and each piece may be configured to distribute a significant portion of its bulk away from the isolated location of a user'"'"'s ear without sacrifice to audio or communicational integrity. Further, the securing extension that accommodates the actuator and secures the piece to the user'"'"'s ear may occupy less than about 0.25 inches in width behind the user'"'"'s ear. Additionally, the organizer manages unique protocols of recharge for a potential plurality of pieces. Additionally, charging takes place through a support mechanism which accommodates a discrete securing extension portion of a piece in a substantially matching fashion. Further, a casing of the piece is substantially displaced from the accommodating location. A charging device of the organizer is coupled to the support mechanism such that recharge of the piece may take place through a charge region of the discrete portion of the piece. Notably, the organizer is configured in such a manner that a plurality of pieces may be secured and recharged without the need for an individually dedicated and/or wire-based recharger for each and every piece in a collection of pieces.

16. A method of utilizing an ergonomic wearable electronic ear wear piece of enhanced comfort for long-term wear, the method comprising:
-
at least partially securing the piece at a user'"'"'s ear with at least one hook shaped securing extension being positioned at least partially behind the ear; manipulating an actuator at a front of the extension to electronically communicate with one of a plurality of electronic components in a casing coupling to the extension, the casing of a bulk exceeding that of the securing extension and a distancing element that provides the coupling and positions the casing at a location away from the ear and exclusively between the ear and a neckline of the user when the piece is secured; and delivering sound to the user'"'"'s ear with a speaker assembly accommodated by the securing extension. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
