Abstract: Techniques for intraoral data manipulation are disclosed. Wired connectivity between a first device inside a mouth and a second device inside the mouth is provided. The wired connectivity is provided by a dual-frequency serpentine coupling. The dual-frequency serpentine coupling enables three-dimensional flexibility for the coupling inside the mouth. Wireless connectivity is provided between the first device and a device outside the mouth. The wireless connectivity is enabled using a wireless transceiver. Data transmission is enabled between the first device and the device outside the mouth. The dual-frequency serpentine coupling includes a higher-frequency serpentine shape overlaid on a lower-frequency serpentine shape. The higher-frequency serpentine shape can be overlaid on a continuous segment of the lower-frequency serpentine shape. The higher-frequency serpentine shape can be overlaid on one or more discontinuous segments of the lower-frequency serpentine shape.

Abstract: A processor-implemented method for speech sensing is disclosed. A tongue position sensor (TPS) is embedded palatally in an oral cavity of a person. The TPS detects tongue movement of the person. A barometric sensor and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor are both located in the oral cavity of the person and coupled to the TPS. The TPS, barometric sensor, and IMU sensor together form an intraoral mouthpad that can detect tongue movements, jaw and/or head movements, and breathing of the person. Input from the mouthpad can be analyzed on a processor coupled to the mouthpad. The processor and the mouthpad combine to form an intraoral speech sensing complex. The complex can sense human speech based on the processor output. The complex can sense normal, low-volume, or silent speech of the person. The complex can provide non-blocking audio feedback to the person through a bone conduction speaker.
