Abstract
Various methods and devices are provided for a wireless audio system for a number of users. The system includes a base unit that is adapted to removably store, recharge and communicate with personal microphone modules. The system also includes a plurality of personal microphone modules that each are adapted to be removable and coupled to a user's clothing, and to communicate wirelessly with the base unit.
Claims28
A wireless audio system for one or more users, comprising:
- a base unit that is adapted to removably store, recharge and communicate with personal microphone modules (PMMs);
- and
- a plurality of PMMs that each comprise a microphone and are adapted to be removably coupled to a user, and to communicate wirelessly with the base unit.
A wireless audio system for a number of users, comprising:
- a base unit that is adapted to removably store, recharge and communicate with personal microphone modules (PMMs);
- and
- a plurality of PMMs that each comprise a mutable microphone and a microphone mute-status indicator, and are adapted to be removably coupled to a user's clothing, and to communicate wirelessly with the base unit;
- wherein a wireless link is automatically established between a PMM and the base unit, and the PMM microphone is automatically muted, when the PMM is removed from the base unit.
1 more element
A plurality of wireless audio systems, comprising:
- two or more base units that are adapted to removably store, recharge, and communication with personal microphone modules (PMMs);
- one or more PMMs that each comprise a mutable microphone and are adapted to be removable coupled to a user and to communication wirelessly with one or more base units;
- wherein a wireless link can be established between a PMM and a first base unit and the PMM is automatically muted when the PMM is removed from the first base unit;
- wherein the wireless link between the PMM can be deactivated and a wireless link can be established with a second base unit when the PMM is places in and removed from the second base unit.
1 more element
A method of wireless audio communication, comprising:
- registering one or more personal microphone modules (PMMs) with a first base unit by coupling the one or more PMMs with the first base unit to pair the one or more PMMs with the first base unit
- registering the one or more personal microphone modules (PMMs) with a second base unit by coupling the one or more PMMs with the second base unit to pair the one or more PMMs with the second base unit
- wherein the one or more PMMs can be used to communication with the first base unit or the second base unit.
