Abstract:
A computer controller for a plurality of audio devices and audio applications and a method of control is disclosed. An audio subsystem is disclosed allowing multiple applications executed by the computer to exchange audio signals with multiple sound interface devices. A first sound interface device to emit a first loudspeaker sound signal in dependence on the first loudspeaker audio signal. The sound signal is received by an intermediate application and from the audio subsystem a first microphone audio signal depending on a first microphone sound signal received by the first sound interface device. An intermediate application causes a second sound interface device to emit a second loudspeaker sound signal in dependence on the second loudspeaker audio signal. This allows a user to conduct a softphone call using one headset connected to the computer, while the user's supervisor may listen in on the softphone call using a second headset connected to the same computer, however, without requiring any changes of the computer's hardware, its operating system or the softphone application.
Abstract:
A wireless headset system comprising a first telecommunication device, a second telecommunication device, such as a mobile phone or a smart phone and a wireless headset adapted to be wirelessly connected by a first radio link to the first telecommunication device. The headset system is adapted to transfer a call from the first telecommunication device to the second telecommunication device, when the first wireless link or a second radio link between the first telecommunication device and the second telecommunication device is broken or becomes sufficiently weak. The invention also relates to a method and a headset to be used with such a system.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a desktop telephone system (1, 51, 61) and to a method for operating a desktop telephone system (1, 51, 61) and may advantageously be utilized in voice communication systems connected to telephone networks (7, 11, 67). The present invention provides a desktop telephone system (1, 51, 61) that can handle a number of ambiguous or complex situations that can occur in daily use of known headset systems.The desktop telephone system (1, 51, 61) comprises two or more sound interface devices (2, 3, 4, 8, 62, 63, 64) each providing a sound interface to a user during telephone conversations and two or more gateway devices (2, 3, 62, 63) each serving as a telephone gateway between a telephone network (7, 11, 67) and each sound interface device (2, 3, 4, 8, 62, 63, 64) during telephone conversations. Each gateway device (2, 3, 62, 63) provides a call announcement signal (21, 41) in response to detecting an incoming telephone call (20, 40) from a telephone network (7, 11, 67), and each sound interface device (2, 3, 4, 8, 62, 63, 64) comprises an action detector (22, 30) providing a user accept signal (23, 31) in response to detecting a predefined accept action performed by the user. At least one gateway device (2, 3, 62, 63) provides the call announcement signal (21, 41) to a wireless control network (18), and at least one sound interface device (2, 3, 4, 8, 62, 63, 64) provides the user accept signal (23, 31) to the wireless control network (18). The desktop telephone system (1, 51, 61) further comprises a control device (19, 52) adapted to receive a first call announcement signal (21, 41) and a first user accept signal (23, 31), at least one of these from the wireless control network (18), to determine a first gateway device (2, 3, 62, 63) as source of the first call announcement signal (21, 41), to determine a first sound interface device (2, 3, 4, 8, 62, 63, 64) as source of the first user accept signal (23, 31), to determine a relationship between the first call announcement signal (21, 41) and the first user accept signal (23, 31), and to cause the desktop telephone system (1, 51, 61) to establish an audio connection (15, 16, 17, 44, 47, 48) between the first gateway device (2, 3, 62, 63) and the first sound interface device (2, 3, 4, 8, 62, 63, 64) in dependence on the determined relationship.
