Wearable computing device with behind-ear bone-conduction speaker

摘要

Apparatuses that provide a bone-conduction speaker arranged to be located behind the ear are described herein. An exemplary apparatus may include: (a) a glasses-style support structure comprising a front section and at least one side section; (b) at least one bone-conduction speaker; and (c) a member having a proximate end and a distal end, wherein the proximate end is attached to the at least one side section, and wherein the at least one bone-conduction speaker is attached to the member at or near the distal end; wherein the member is arranged on the at least one side section such that when the glasses-style support structure is worn the member: (a) extends to the anterior of the at least one side section and (b) locates the bone-conduction speaker posterior to an ear.

1. An apparatus comprising:
a glasses-style support structure comprising a front section and at least one side section; at least one bone-conduction speaker; and a member having a proximate end and a distal end, wherein the proximate end is attached to the at least one side section, and wherein the at least one bone-conduction speaker is attached to the member at or near the distal end; wherein the member is coupled to the at least one side section such that when the glasses-style support structure is worn the member: (a) extends to the anterior of the at least one side section, (b) locates the bone-conduction speaker at a location posterior to an ear, and (c) exerts a force on the bone-conduction speaker towards the posterior surface of the ear; wherein the proximate end of the member is coupled to the at least one side section at a coupling location such that when the glasses-style support structure is worn the coupling location is anterior to the location of the bone-conduction speaker.
