Thinking a little bit more about my invention, I came up with another idea. The earmuffs could connect to a person's MP3 player and play music while also keeping the person's ears warm. Or I could make it so that the person only listens to music through the earmuffs and not necessarily need to connect to their ipod. After learning about hardware basics this week, I thought of how I could install a tiny MP3-like piece into the actual earmuffs, on one of the sides, with streaming wires on the interior, which connect to headphones that can be heard through the warm material of the earmuffs. I would have to create a tiny PDA-type piece that could hold all the audio a person would like to listen to on their walk to class. This piece would be inserted on the inside of the earmuffs, so no wires would be involved. The MP3 would have to be able to hold a certain amount of memory, maybe a gigabyte, in order to hold lots of the person's audio.
This week we learned all about hardware parts that could be useful to this invention. For example, I would give customers USB wires with their earmuffs so that they could directly connect their earmuffs to their PC's to download all their desired audio right onto their earmuffs. Through the USB cord, audio files would transfer over to the MP3-like piece on the inside of the earmuffs. After the download is complete, people would have portable music within their earmuffs, no wires necessary!
