Abstract:
A headset system for use with especially in a call center environment, in which method a wireless connection is established between headset and base unit, and the wireless connection is maintained while indicating from a headset user interface to the base unit that the headset is available for receiving an incoming call. The headset system is connected to a telephone system and has a processor configured to receive mode information and to operate according to the received mode information. The headset has a headset user interface and controls the headset signal processor to operate in accordance with user input. The headset is further configured to provide the end-of-call information to the base unit while maintaining the wireless connection.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a controller for controlling an electronic device. The invention may e.g. be used to control a headset or another electronic device connected to the controller.The controller (1) comprises an elongate controller body (3) having a first body end (4) and a second body end (5). The controller body (3) comprises an elongate rotatable body section (10) adapted to be rotated by a user about a longitudinal axis (11) extending through the first body end (4) and the second body end (5). The rotatable body section (10) has a radially outer side surface (12) extending between a first section end (13) near the first body end (4) and a second section end (14) near the second body end (5). The rotatable body section (10) has a size and shape allowing the user to rotate the rotatable body section (10) about the longitudinal axis (11) by performing a rolling action using three or more fingers (21, 22, 23). The controller (1) further comprises a sensing means (30) adapted to detect a rotation of the rotatable body section (10) about the longitudinal axis (11) and to provide a control signal (Sc) indicating one or more control commands to the electronic device in dependence on detecting a rotation.The controller (1) is characterized in that the sensing means (30) further is adapted to distinguish between a three-finger rolling action and a corresponding two-finger rolling action and to provide the control signal (Se) in dependence on detecting a three-finger rolling action.This may provide a controller (1) with a significantly reduced rate of “false alarms” as well as an unobtrusive, reliable and at the same time simple and easy-to-use interface to the user.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides a headset comprising a first earphone with a first face facing the head of a user wearing the headset, a headband attached at a first end to the first earphone and a microphone arm rotatably attached to the first earphone. The microphone arm can rotate about a first axis essentially perpendicular to the first side, whereby the microphone arm can be rotated into to a rest position, where it extends along the headband. The headband comprises a first magnetic holding element and the microphone arm comprises at a co-operating second magnetic holding element, whereby the microphone arm can be magnetically adhered against the headband in the rest position.
Abstract:
An earpad (1) to provide an interface between an earcup (4) of a headset (7), a headphone (8) or an ear defender (9). The earpad (1) comprises a contact surface (2) contacting the skin (10) of the ear (11) or ear surroundings of the user. The earpad (1) comprises one or more metal members (3, 6, 12, 13, 33) to transfer heat away from the contact surface (2).
Abstract:
A base unit, which is arranged to provide a communications connection between a plurality of fixed communications units and at least one mobile communications unit, such as a headset, is arranged to adapt the bandwidth of the communications connection between the fixed communications units, which operate at various bandwidths, and the mobile units. The fixed communications units may be public switched telephones, PC phones, PDA units, etc. The invention makes it possible to optimize the sound quality in dependence on which type of fixed communications unit is coupled to the mobile unit, and which task is to be solved. In one embodiment, it is possible to lock the bandwidth, e.g. to the lowest bandwidth, irrespective of which fixed communications connection is used.
Abstract:
A method of and a system for synchronizing isochronous audio data frames provided by a USB interface to a clock of a wireless RF communication device is provided. The USB interface and the wireless RF communication device are connected via an I2S link, the method comprising receiving the isochronous audio data frames and the wireless RF communication device clock in a streaming controller, phase locking the isochronous audio data frames to a USB interface clock, counting start-of-frame pulses of the phase locked isochronous audio data frames, comparing the counted start-of-frame pulses with the wireless RF communication device clock to determine a difference signal, the difference signal triggering a synchronization event code when a threshold difference has been reached, rate matching the isochronous audio data frames to the wireless RF communication device clock upon receiving the synchronization event code.
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:
The present invention relates to a wireless telephone sound interface device (2, 22), to a wireless telephone sound system (1, 21) and to a method for operating a wireless telephone sound interface device (2, 22). The invention may advantageously be utilized in telephone devices connected to telephone networks (8, 28) and having a base unit (3, 23) wirelessly connected to one or more wireless sound interface devices (2, 22).The present invention provides a wireless telephone sound interface device (2, 22) comprising an electronic circuit (42-49), a first wireless transceiver (44) adapted to exchange audio signals with a base unit (3, 23) through a wireless audio connection (4, 24) and a device controller (41) adapted to detect a disconnection of the wireless audio connection (4, 24) and to control the electronic circuit (42-49) in dependence on detecting said disconnection. 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.
