Abstract:
Audio devices and related methods are disclosed. An audio device includes audio inputs configured to receive audio signals from a media player, speaker elements configured to convert the audio signals to acoustic waves, and control circuitry. The control circuitry includes a tracking module configured to extract use information from the audio and store use data including the use information on a data storage device of the audio device. A method includes transmitting the use data to a use data router configured to route the use data to a remote sever. A method of transforming a personal computing device into a use data router includes storing computer-readable instructions configured to instruct a processing element of a personal computing device to receive the use data from the audio device, and transmit the use data to the remote server. The method also includes transmitting the computer-readable instructions to the personal computing device.
