What changed
The USPTO published patent application US20260108164A1 for a method controlling a heart sound data detecting device using earbuds. The method involves obtaining synchronized heart sound data from first and second earbuds, analyzing each dataset to generate user state analysis results, and outputting results only when the results meet a defined consistency requirement. The filing date was December 17, 2025, and the application was published April 23, 2026 under application number 19422631.
Manufacturers and developers of wearable biometric devices, particularly smart earbuds or hearable technology with health monitoring capabilities, should monitor the prosecution of this application to assess potential IP blocking risks for similar dual-earbud heart sound detection designs. Competitors developing cardiac monitoring earbuds should review the published claims for overlap with their own product roadmaps, and consider conducting freedom-to-operate analyses.

Abstract
A method for controlling heart sound data detecting device includes: obtaining a first heart sound data acquired by a first earbud and a second heart sound data synchronously acquired by a second earbud; analyzing the first heart sound data to obtain a first user state analysis result and analyzing the second heart sound data to obtain a second user state analysis result; and in response to that the first user state analysis result and the second user state analysis result meet a consistency requirement, and outputting the first user state analysis result and/or the second user state analysis result.
