The patent describes both headphones and earphones fitted with accelerometers like those in smartphones for detecting motion, as well as temperature, perspiration and heart-rate sensors for monitoring a users activity, fitness and other statistics. Apple filed the patent in 2007 for a sports monitoring system for headphones, earbuds and/or headsets, which was granted on Tuesday, indicating that Apple has been investigating the possibility of integrated health monitors for at least six years.
