The present teachings disclose methods and apparatuses for an intelligent, wireless earplug system comprising a speaker, an earplug, an electronics base, and a cable. The earplug fits into a user's ear canal and is operatively connected to a smart device, such as a smart phone, to intelligently transmit sounds from the smart device to the earplugs in a manner selected by the user, such as for example transmitting binaural beats to the earplugs to facilitate sleep.

Our system and method covers system and method for an imminent warning for firefighters.

A novel method, apparatus, and system are disclosed for an earplug device. The earplug device comprises an earplug, a speaker, sensors, affixing means for a cable that goes to the electronics base through the earplug, and at least one wireless transmission module that communicates with at least one electronic device.

A mobile electronic apparatus, a method for controlling a mobile electronic apparatus, and a non-transitory computer readable recording medium are disclosed. A wireless communication unit receives an incoming call signal. A movement detector detects a user's movement. A proximity sensor detects the proximity of an object. At least one processor outputs as a voice, through a sound output unit, information on a party that has transmitted the incoming call signal when the user's movement and the proximity of the object are detected during the receipt of the incoming call signal.

A wearable alert device includes an audio transducer and driver circuit that allows selection of either a high or low volume setting for driving the transducer. The driver circuit is operable in a single ended mode for low volume and a double ended mode for high volume. The single ended mode holds one terminal of the transducer low while the other is driven in correspondence with a clock signal, while the double ended mode drives one terminal in correspondence with the clock signal and the other terminal is inverted from the clock signal. The transducer is activated in response to an alert event, and can be driven according to a profile or pattern.

An alarm and monitoring system including a primary device and at least one secondary device, the alarm and monitoring system including a transceiver that receives a notification signal from a primary device or a secondary device, the notification signal including the alarm event signal; a controller coupled to the transceiver, the controller being configured to receive the notification signal from the transceiver and generate a rendering signal; and a rendering device coupled to the controller, the rendering device being configured to receive the rendering signal and render an alarm event, wherein the primary device receives the notification signal from a cloud system, and wherein the cloud system receives a communication signal from a linked user device or an external services server and forwards the notification signal to the primary device.
