    摘要: In one aspect, an earphone for use with a mobile phone or other device may include a low-profile, ergonomic head with a speaker and a flat front surface. The front surface may be be bounded by three sides and a curved bottom edge that is configured for placement on top of an incisura of an ear to hang on the incisura, thereby improving user comfort. Additionally, a trigger related to the earphone may be used so that, responsive to identifying the trigger, the mobile phone may facilitate a call and present mono audio from the call via the at least one speaker on the earphone. In certain examples, the trigger may include a threshold period of time elapsing from detachment of the earphone from the mobile device during call reception.

    摘要: An earphone which includes a sound production component and an ear hook may be provided. The sound production component includes a transducer and a housing accommodating the transducer. A first portion of the ear hook is hung between an auricle and the head of a user, and a second portion extends toward a side of the auricle away from the head and is connected to the sound production component. A difference between a minimum distance from the sound production component to the first portion in a wearing state and a minimum distance from the sound production component to the first portion in a non-wearing state is not smaller than 1 mm, in the wearing state, the housing and the first portion of the ear hook clamp the auricle of the user and provide a clamping force in a range of 0.03N to 1N to the auricle of the user.

    摘要: At least one exemplary embodiment is directed to a communication device that includes a microphone configured to detect an acoustic signal from an acoustic environment, and a processor, configured to detect an acoustical dampening between the acoustic environment and the microphone, based on a change in a characteristic of the acoustic signal and, responsive to the acoustical dampening, apply a compensation filter to the acoustic signal to form a compensated acoustic signal that is reproduced. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    摘要: A cradle includes a main body having a seating portion in which an earbud is seated, a folder body capable of being converted between a closed state and an opened state of the seating portion, and a hinge portion configured to couple the folder body to the main body, wherein the hinge portion includes a first hinge coupled to the main body, a second hinge coupled to the folder body, a shaft extending through the first hinge and the second hinge, a first magnet coupled to the first hinge, and a second magnet coupled to the second hinge or to the folder body, and wherein the first magnet and the second magnet maintain a repulsive force therebetween while the folder body is converted into the opened state from the closed state. The semi-automatic opening structure of the cradle is simplified so as to simplify the manufacturing process and reduce manufacturing costs.
