Claims26
A wireless communication system, comprising a plurality of headsets, each incorporating a wireless communications module comprising a power supply, a microphone, a speaker, a wireless transceiver, a memory, and a processor responsive to instructions stored in the memory to control operation of the wireless communications module to establish a communication network with the wireless communications modules incorporated in the headsets acting as nodes in the network.
A headset for incorporation into a wireless communication system enabling communication among a group of users, incorporating a wireless communications module comprising a power source, a microphone, a speaker, a wireless transceiver, a memory, and a processor responsive to instructions stored in the memory to control operation of the wireless communications module to establish a communication network with another like wireless communication module wherein the wireless communication modules acting as nodes in the network.
A headset as claimed in 14, further comprising user interface controls on the headset, and user interface controls on a linked wireless controller configurable to be mirrored to those on the headset.
A headset as claimed in 14, further comprising user interface controls on the headset, and there is a linked wireless controller with user interface controls on a linked wireless controller that are configurable to be different to allow for extended functionality for the operator.
A stand-alone wireless controller, comprising a wireless transceiver, a memory, and a processor responsive to instructions stored in the memory to control operation of the wireless controller, and a push-to-talk button for remotely controlling operation of the a wireless communications module, and wherein the wireless controller is configured to acts as a node in a network such that the wireless controller communicates with a wireless communications module incorporated into a headset over the network.
