Abstract
The disclosure includes a headset including one or more earphones and a connector configured to couple data and charge between the headset and a user equipment (UE). The headset also includes a charge node. The charge node includes a charge port for receiving UE charge from a charge source. The charge node also includes a downstream port for coupling audio data toward the earphones. The charge node further includes an upstream port for coupling the audio data toward the earphones via the downstream port and coupling UE charge from the charge port toward the UE via the connector.
Claims20
A headset comprising:
- one or more earphones;
- a connector configured to couple data and charge between the headset and a user equipment (UE);
- and
- a charge node including:
- a charge port for receiving UE charge from a charge source,
- a downstream port for coupling audio data toward the earphones, and
- an upstream port for coupling the audio data toward the earphones via the downstream port and coupling UE charge from the charge port toward the UE via the connector.
A charge node comprising:
- a downstream port to couple audio data toward one or more earphones;
- an upstream coupled to the downstream port, the upstream port to couple the audio data to the downstream port;
- a charge port coupled to the upstream port, the charge port to couple user equipment (UE) charge toward a UE via the upstream port.
A method comprising:
- coupling, via an upstream port, audio data toward a downstream port;
- coupling, via the downstream port, audio data toward one or more earphones;
- and
- coupling, via a charge port and the upstream port, user equipment (UE) charge from a charge source to a UE.
