Abstract:
An earphone device (1) to be worn in the ear, which earphone device (1) comprising a main body (18) to be arranged in the concha (19) of the outer ear (14) of a user and an optical sensor (35), which optical sensor (35) comprises a light emitter (16) and a light detector (17). The earphone device (1) comprises window means (8, 9) through which light emitted by the light emitter (16) can be transmitted. The window means (8, 9) comprises an end face (31) adapted to abut a conchal wall (37) at a sensing position (36). The main body (18) comprises a speaker protrusion (26) to be inserted into to ear canal (15). The distance between the speaker protrusion (26) and the end face (31) is adjustable.
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:
Disclosed is a headset and an ear hook for a headset, the headset comprising a housing portion and a microphone component, the microphone component comprising a microphone boom, the microphone boom comprising a wire, wherein the ear hook comprises: a first end structurally connected to the housing portion; a second end comprising a wire holder configured for detachable retention of the wire from the microphone boom; and where a portion of the ear hook between the first end and the second end is configured for attaching the ear hook to an ear of a user.
Abstract:
A hands free communication device (2), such as a headset, adapted to be simultaneously connected to a first telecommunication device (2) and a second telecommunication device (3). The hands free communication device (2) is adapted to send a call status signal to the first telecommunication device (3) upon reception of a corresponding call status signal from the second telecommunication device (4) and to send a call status signal to the second telecommunication device (4) upon reception of a corresponding call status signal from the first telecommunication device (3). The invention also relates to a system implementing such a hands free device (2) and a method using such a system.
Abstract:
Noise cancelling headsets and a method of improving audio sensitivity for a headset are disclosed. The headset comprises a speaker, a microphone unit comprising at least a first and a second microphone for picking up incoming sound and generating a first audio signal generated at least partly from the at least first microphone and a second audio signal being at least partly generated from the at least second microphone, a signal processor being configured to receive and analyse the first audio signal and the second audio signal to determine one or more equalization filter coefficients, an equalization filter configured to receive the second audio signal and the one or more equalization coefficients, and to equalize the second audio signal according to the determined one or more equalization filter coefficients to provide an output audio signal, wherein the one or more equalization filter coefficient are determined so as to approximate a power spectrum of the output audio signal to a power spectrum of the first audio signal.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to, amongst other things, detection of the causes of communications failures primarily between a base station and wireless headset and then taking action in response thereto, such as notifying the user wearing the headset. The wireless telephone sound interface device (2, 22) is characterized in that the device controller (41) further is adapted to estimate a disconnection cause for said disconnection and to control the electronic circuit (42-49) in dependence on the estimated disconnection cause.This may allow the wireless telephone sound interface device (2, 22) to avoid superfluously alerting the user of a disconnection deliberately caused by the user and may thus aid in reducing daily annoyance of the user and/or of colleagues in a working environment.
