Abstract:
An earpiece includes an earpiece housing, a processor disposed within the earpiece housing, and a gesture based interface operatively connected to the processor and configured to detect changes in an energy field associated with user gestures. The processor is configured to interpret the changes in the energy field to determine the user gestures.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for near field gesture based control of an earpiece the method comprising:\n emitting pulses at a first sampling rate from at least one emitter of the earpiece; sensing the pulses reflected off a user of the earpiece, the sensing performed by at least one detector of the earpiece; increasing from the first sampling rate to a second sampling rate higher than the first sampling rate, the pulses from the at least one emitter if proximity of the user relative to the at least one emitter is above a first threshold; determining by a processor of the earpiece an occurrence of a gesture performed by the user of the earpiece based on the pulses reflected off the user as detected by the at least one detector during performance of the gesture.
