Abstract:
Various aspects include wearable audio devices and related systems. In particular implementations, a wearable audio device includes: a base having: an acoustic transducer; a controller coupled with the acoustic transducer; and terminals for connecting a power source; and a first cap including: an antenna; and a battery including terminals for connecting with the terminals in the base, where the first cap is removably coupled to the base.
Abstract:
Various implementations include approaches for establishing a Bluetooth (BT) connection between devices. One example approach includes: in response to a trigger at a first BT device, attempting to determine a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of a second BT device paired to the first BT device, the second BT device having a highest priority on a list of one or more BT devices paired to the first BT device; in response to determining the RSSI for the second BT device, determining if the RSSI of the second BT device satisfies a threshold; and in response to determining that the RSSI of the second BT device satisfies the threshold, attempting to establish a BT connection between the first BT device and the second BT device.
Abstract:
An electronic device includes a processor and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations including determining whether a text prompt received from a wireless device corresponds to first synthesized speech data stored at the memory. The operations include, in response to a determination that the text prompt does not correspond to the first synthesized speech data, determining whether a network is accessible. The operations include, in response to a determination that the network is accessible, sending a text-to-speech (TTS) conversion request to a server via the network. The operation further include, in response to receiving second synthesized speech data from the server, storing the second synthesized speech data at the memory.

One example approach includes: in response to a BT trigger at a first BT device, attempting to determine a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) from a set of additional BT devices paired to the first BT device; if an RSSI from a first additional BT device is a highest RSSI from the set and exceeds an RSSI from a second additional BT device with a second-highest RSSI by a threshold, selecting the first additional BT device for connection with the first BT device; and if a difference between the RSSI from the first additional BT device and the RSSI from the second additional BT devices does not exceed the threshold, selecting either the first additional BT device or the second additional BT device for connection based on a BT connection hierarchy.

Various implementations include approaches for training a surface detection classifier and detecting characteristics of a surface, along with related micromobility vehicles. Certain implementations include a method including: comparing: i) detected movement of a micromobility (MM) vehicle or a device located with a user at the MM vehicle while operating the MM vehicle, with ii) a surface detection classifier for the MM vehicle; and in response to detecting that the MM vehicle is traveling on a restricted surface type for a threshold period, performing at least one of: a) notifying an operator of the MM vehicle about the travel on the restricted surface type, b) outputting a warning at an interface connected with the MM vehicle or the device, c) limiting a speed of the MM vehicle, or d) disabling operation of the MM vehicle.

Various implementations include wearable audio devices and related methods for controlling such devices. In some particular implementations, a computer-implemented method of controlling a wearable audio device configured to provide an audio output includes: receiving data indicating the wearable audio device is proximate a geographic location associated with a localized audio message; providing a prompt to initiate playback of the localized audio message to a user of the wearable audio device; and initiating playback of the localized audio message at the wearable audio device in response to actuation of the prompt by the user.
