Cellular telephone, personal digital assistant and pager unit with capability of short range radio frequency transmissions

Номер: US20120034873A1
Автор: Peter V. Boesen
Принадлежит: Individual

A cellular telephone system, including a cellular telephone transceiver unit, an ear piece which receives the voice vibrations of a user, and a wireless linkage operatively connecting the ear piece to the cellular telephone transceiver unit, allows a user to be in a hands-free mode when using a cellular telephone. The cellular telephone transceiver unit includes a personal digital assistant and a pager with a vibration module. The ear piece generally uses a bone sensor along with an air sensor placed in the external auditory canal of the user to detect the voice vibrations of the user. Further, a speaker is included in the ear piece to allow the user to hear incoming data from the cellular telephone transceiver. The wireless linkage uses low power radio frequency waves to send and receive signals between the ear piece and the cellular telephone transceiver unit. Both the ear piece and the cellular telephone transceiver unit require power which is supplied by batteries. Both the ear piece and the cellular telephone transceiver may be recharged by simply placing them in a docking station.

Принадлежит: Bose Corp

A wireless two-way communications headset is able to enter into a partial power mode in which a latching or non-momentary power switch has been operated to an “on” state, but in which there has been a lack of user operation of the headset for more than a predetermined period of time, and in this partial power mode, a processing device of the headset monitors manually-operable controls for an indication of their being operated by a user in a manner indicating a user's intent to engage in audio communications. In response to this indication, the headset enters a higher power mode in which a wireless link with another wireless device is formed and then performs the function intended by the user. In being operated by a user to initiate audio communications with another wireless device (e.g., making a telephone call), the wireless headset first attempts to do so with the wireless device with which the wireless headset most recently engaged in audio communications, and failing that, the wireless headset then attempts to do so with second-most recent wireless device with which the wireless headset engaged in audio communications.
