Abstract
Various embodiments relate to data packet compensation in multi-device media systems. A primary headphone device may include one or more communication interfaces configured to communicate with an audio source and a secondary headphone device. The primary headphone device may further include communication logic configured to transmit information to the secondary headphone device identifying one or more data packets received by the primary headphone device. The communication logic may also be configured to receive reporting information identifying one or more data packets missed by the secondary headphone device. Also, the communication logic may be configured to transmit compensation information for the one or more data packets missed by the secondary headphone device.
Claims20
A primary headphone device, comprising:
- one or more communication interfaces configured to communicate with an audio source and a secondary headphone device;
- and
- communication logic configured to:
- transmit information to the secondary headphone device identifying one or more data packets received by the primary headphone device;
- receive reporting information identifying one or more data packets missed by the secondary headphone device;
- and
- transmit compensation information for the one or more data packets missed by the secondary headphone device.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a first headphone device, one or more data packets transmitted from a media source over a first wireless communication link;
- transmitting, from the first headphone device to a second headphone device, information identifying the one or more data packets received by the first headphone device;
- receiving, at the first headphone device, reporting information identifying at least one data packet received by the first headphone device and missed by the second headphone device;
- and
- transmitting, from the first headphone device to the second headphone device, a reply message that includes compensation information associated with the at least data packet missed by the second headphone device.
A primary headphone device, comprising:
- one or more communication interfaces configured to communicate with an audio source via a first communication link and a secondary headphone device via a second communication link;
- and
- communication logic configured to:
- receive, over the first communication link, one or more data packets;
- transmit, over the second communication link, information identifying the one or more data packets received by the primary headphone device;
- receive, over the second communication link, information identifying at least one data packet missed by the secondary headphone device;
- and
- transmit, over the second communication link, the at least one data packet missed by the secondary headphone device.
