Problems solved by technology

Combining the capacity for audio download and playing in an earpiece system is not obvious over related art since the user interaction system (e.g., play button, keyboard system) does not readily appear compatible with the size of an earpiece device and the difficulty of user interaction.
Additionally, no system currently exists for registration and download of audio content into an earpiece.

Abstract

At least one exemplary embodiment is directed to an earpiece comprising: an ambient microphone; an ear canal microphone; an ear canal receiver; a sealing section; a logic circuit; a communication module; a memory storage unit,; and a user interaction element, where the user interaction element is configured to send a play command to the logic circuit when activated by a user where the logic circuit reads registration parameters stored on the memory storage unit and sends audio content to the ear canal receiver according to the registration parameters.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims the priority benefit of 60 / 806,769, under 35 U.S.C. §119(e), filed 8 Jul. 2006, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The invention relates in general to methods and devices for the storage and recall of audio content via an earpiece, and in particular, though not exclusively, for the storage and playing of music or verbal content on a system that is built into a headphone. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Present audio content playing devices are separated from the headphone system that normally contains the speakers (also referred to as receivers). The reason for this has typically been that audio content has been stored on disks that require a separate playing system. However, even with the advent of storing audio content on non-disk RAM (Random Access Memory) storage systems, the audio content player has been separated from the earpiece system (e.g., plug in...
