  • Publication number: 20240073316
    Abstract: Ranging between a primary electronic device and a secondary electronic device can be used to control functional states for the electronic devices. One or more functions of a primary electronic device can be controlled based on the location of a secondary electronic device. The secondary electronic device can be a mobile device or a wearable computer, and the secondary device's location can be a proxy for a user's position. The functions, that are enabled or disabled, can be functions that are related to the user's use and enjoyment of the primary device.

  • Publication number: 20220313153
    Abstract: Enclosed are embodiments for diagnosis and monitoring of bruxism using earbud motion sensors. In an embodiment, a method comprises: receiving, with at least one processor, a signal derived from a motion sensor in an earbud, wherein the signal is captured while the earbud is inserted in an ear of a user; segmenting, with the at least one processor, the signal into segments; extracting, with the at least one processor, features from the segments; classifying, with the at least one processor, the features; and determining, with the at least one processor, that orofacial activity is predicted based on the classifying.
