Communication system using bone conduction speaker

Abstract

An object is to provide a communication system using a bone conduction speaker. The system is characterized by enabling its user to catch sounds from a monitor without putting any person around the user to inconvenience when the user enjoys exercises. The user wears a receiving means in a manner such that the user can immediately respond to an instruction issued from an instructor or the like. This system is applicable to various types of fitness machines and the like. The system comprises a receiving means mounted on the user's head; and, a transmitting means mounted on a machine having the monitor. The receiving means includes: the bone conduction speaker mounted on the user's headband; a receiving portion; an amplifier unit; and, a battery. The user can catch a sound signal output of the transmitting means during the user's own performance, by receiving the output through the receiving means.

1 . A communication system using a bone conduction speaker characterized by comprising a receiving means mounted on a head portion of a user; and, a transmitting means mounted on a machine provided with a voice sound output means which the user uses, wherein said receiving means includes: a bone conduction speaker carried on a headband, said headband being mounted on said head portion of the user; a receiving portion; an amplifier unit; and, a battery, wherein a voice sound output issued from said transmitting means during the user's exercise is received through said receiving means, which enables the user to catch said voice sound output.  
   
   
       2 . The communication system using the bone conduction speaker as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said machine is constructed of a fitness machine.  
   
   
       3 . The communication system using the bone conduction speaker as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein communication between said transmitting means and said receiving portion is realized by means of an infrared ray.  
   
   
       4 . The communication system using the bone conduction speaker as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said headband is covered in its outer surface with a fashionable covering.  
   
   
       5 . A communication system using a bone conduction speaker characterized by comprising a first transmitting/receiving means mounted on a head portion of a user; and, a second transmitting/receiving means mounted on a machine provided with a voice sound output means which the user uses, wherein said first transmitting/receiving means includes: a bone conduction speaker carried on a headband, said headband being mounted on said head portion of the user; a transmitting/receiving portion; an amplifier unit; and, a battery, wherein a voice sound output issued from said second transmitting/receiving means during the user's exercise is received through said first transmitting/receiving means, which enables the user to catch said voice sound output.  
   
   
       6 . The communication system using the bone conduction speaker as set forth in  claim 5 , wherein said machine is constructed of a fitness machine.  
   
   
       7 . The communication system using the bone conduction speaker as set forth in  claim 5 , wherein communication between said first transmitting/receiving means and said second transmitting/receiving means is carried out using an infrared ray.  
   
   
       8 . The communication system using the bone conduction speaker as set forth in  claim 5 , wherein said headband is covered in its outer surface with a fashionable covering.  
   
   
       9 . The communication system using the bone conduction speaker as set forth in  claim 5 , wherein said first transmitting/receiving means includes a pulsation sensor for measuring the number of the user's pulsations in his or her physical exercise.  
   
   
       10 . The communication system using the bone conduction speaker as set forth in  claim 2 , wherein communication between said transmitting means and said receiving portion is realized by means of an infrared ray.  
   
   
       11 . The communication system using the bone conduction speaker as set forth in  claim 2 , wherein said headband is covered in its outer surface with a fashionable covering.  
   
   
       12 . The communication system using the bone conduction speaker as set forth in  claim 10 , wherein said headband is covered in its outer surface with a fashionable covering.  
   
   
       13 . The communication system using the bone conduction speaker as set forth in  claim 3 , wherein said headband is covered in its outer surface with a fashionable covering.  
   
   
       14 . The communication system using the bone conduction speaker as set forth in  claim 6 , wherein communication between said first transmitting/receiving means and said second transmitting/receiving means is carried out using an infrared ray.  
   
   
       15 . The communication system using the bone conduction speaker as set forth in  claim 6 , wherein said headband is covered in its outer surface with a fashionable covering.  
   
   
       16 . The communication system using the bone conduction speaker as set forth in  claim 7 , wherein said headband is covered in its outer surface with a fashionable covering.
