Claims:WE CLAIM
1. A method of alerting a user wearing a headphone from an impending hazard, the method comprising:
detecting, by a headphone safety device, a movement of the user while wearing the headphone;
upon detection, sensing, by the headphone safety device, a plurality of ambient parameters with respect to an external surrounding of the user;
analyzing, by the headphone safety device, the plurality of ambient parameters to determine the impending hazard; and
upon determination, alerting, by the headphone safety device, the user of the impending hazard.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of ambient parameters comprises at least one of a location of the user, a direction of movement of the user, a moving vehicle, a hazardous object, and an ambient sound.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein analyzing the plurality of ambient parameters comprises correlating a set of the plurality of ambient parameters to determine the impending hazard.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein correlating comprises one of:
correlating the location of the user or the direction of movement of the user, and the moving vehicle or the hazardous object;
correlating the moving vehicle or the hazardous object, and the ambient sound;
correlating the location of the user or the direction of movement of the user, the moving vehicle or the hazardous object, and the ambient sound.

5. The method of claim 2, wherein analyzing the plurality of ambient parameters comprises:
determining a vehicular traffic based on the location of the user;
upon determination of the vehicular traffic, determining the moving vehicle or the hazardous object approaching towards the user; and
optionally determining a high-pitch sound to alert the user based on the ambient sound.

6. The method of claim 2, wherein analyzing the plurality of ambient parameters comprises:
determining a crossing of a road by the user based on the location of the user and the direction of movement of the user;
upon determination of the crossing of the road by the user, determining the moving vehicle or the hazardous object approaching towards the user; and
optionally determining a high-pitch sound to alert the user based on the ambient sound.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein alerting the user comprises at least one of:
playing a pre-defined audio notification to the user; and
playing an ambient noise captured by the microphone to the user.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the ambient noise captured by the microphone is amplified by an amplifier.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein alerting the user comprises interrupting an audio playing on the headphone.

10. A headphone safety device for alerting a user wearing a headphone from an impending hazard, the headphone comprising:
one or more initiation sensors for sensing one or more initiation parameters;
a plurality of ambient sensors for sensing a plurality of ambient parameters with respect to an external surrounding of the user;
an intelligent unit in communication with the one or more initiation sensors and the plurality of ambient sensors, wherein the intelligent unit is configured to:
detect a movement of the user while wearing the headphone based on the one or more initiation parameters;
upon detection, activate the plurality of ambient sensors for sensing the plurality of ambient parameters;
analyze the plurality of ambient parameters to determine the impending hazard; and
upon determination, alert the user of the impending hazard.

11. The headphone safety device of claim 10, wherein the one or more initiation sensors comprises at least one of a gyroscope, an accelerometer, a magnetometer, a proximity sensor, and a touch sensor.

12. The headphone safety device of claim 10, wherein each of the plurality of ambient sensors comprises at least one of a geo-positioning device, a light detection and ranging sensor, an infrared sensor, a proximity sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, a short-range radar sensor, a camera, and a microphone.

13. The headphone safety device of claim 10, wherein each of the plurality of ambient parameters comprises at least one of a location of the user, a direction of movement of the user, a moving vehicle, a hazardous object, and an ambient sound.

14. The headphone safety device of claim 10, wherein the intelligent unit is configured to analyze by correlating a set of the plurality of ambient parameters to determine the impending hazard.

15. The headphone safety device of claim 10, wherein the intelligent unit is configured to alert the user through a controller adapted to control speakers of the headphone.

16. The headphone safety device of claim 15, wherein the intelligent unit is configured to alert the user by at least one of:
playing a pre-defined audio notification to the user; and
playing an ambient noise captured by the microphone to the user.

17. The headphone safety device of claim 16, wherein the intelligent unit is configured to alert the user by interrupting an audio playing on the headphone.

18. A headphone for alerting a user from an impending hazard, the headphone comprising:
a pair of speakers adapted to play an incoming audio;
one or more initiation sensors for sensing one or more initiation parameters;
a plurality of ambient sensors for sensing a plurality of ambient parameters with respect to an external surrounding of the user;
a controller adapted to control the pair of speakers;
an intelligent unit in communication with the one or more initiation sensors, the plurality of ambient sensors, and the controller, wherein the intelligent unit is configured to:
detect a movement of the user while wearing the headphone based on the one or more initiation parameters;
upon detection, activate the plurality of ambient sensors for sensing the plurality of ambient parameters;
analyze the plurality of ambient parameters to determine the impending hazard; and
upon determination, activate the controller to alert the user of the impending hazard.

19. The headphone of claim 18, wherein the intelligent unit is configured to alert the user by at least one of:
playing a pre-defined audio notification to the user; and
playing an ambient noise captured by the microphone to the user.

20. The headphone of claim 10, wherein the intelligent unit is configured to alert the user by interrupting an audio playing on the headphone.
