The patent, dubbed “Input device for head-mountable devices,” describes using unreleased earbuds to generate a haptic output. That output would be dictated by a signal from a head-mounted device, such as Apple’s spatial computer.
While the patent doesn’t mention AirPods by name, it’s easy to see where Apple is going here.
