Abstract:
A tragus conduction apparatus may include a sound transducer positionable against a tragus of a user's ear to mechanically vibrate the tragus to produce one or more sound waves that travel down an ear canal of the user's ear toward an eardrum. A wearable device may include a tragus conduction apparatus and a wearable frame dimensioned to adjustably hold the tragus conduction apparatus at the user's ear. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 16):
A method comprising:\n detecting, by a computing system, a command to generate a sound; mechanically vibrating, by a sound transducer, a tragus of a user's ear to produce at least one sound wave based on the command to generate the sound, wherein the sound transducer, instead of being configured to mechanically vibrate a cranial bone region surrounding a user's ear, is positionable to convert an electrical signal to a vibration such that the tragus of the user's ear acts as a diaphragm for the sound transducer; detecting, by a microphone positioned at an opening of an ear canal of the user's ear, a sound pressure of the at least one sound wave produced by a vibration of the tragus of the user's ear by the sound transducer; and calibrating, by the computing system, a vibration of the sound transducer based on the sound pressure detected by the microphone.
