Abstract
The disclosed technology includes a system and method for providing pairing information to assist in pairing devices for wireless communication. For example, the disclosed technology includes a method for visually displaying time remaining in pairing time windows for hearing aid devices. A hearing aid professional can view the displayed information on a computer, fitting station, or mobile device and then use this information to determine which devices can be paired or how much time is remaining to pair the device.
Claims22
A method for providing pairing information, the method comprising:
- receiving pairing information for a wireless communication device,
- wherein the pairing information includes time remaining in a pairing time window for the wireless communication device;
- and
- providing an indication of the time remaining in the pairing time window via a graphical user interface or speaker.
A method for providing pairing information, the method comprising:
- receiving first pairing information for a first wireless communication device,
- wherein the first pairing information includes time remaining in a first pairing time window for the first wireless communication device;
- receiving second pairing information for a second wireless communication device,
- wherein the second pairing information includes time remaining in a second pairing time window for the second wireless communication device;
- and
- providing a visual indication of the time remaining in the first and second pairing time windows via a graphical user interface.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that when executed by a processor cause a hearing device to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving first pairing information for a first wireless communication device,
- wherein the first pairing information includes time remaining in a first pairing time window for the first wireless communication device;
- receiving second pairing information for a second wireless communication device,
- wherein the second pairing information includes time remaining in a second pairing time window for the second wireless communication device;
- and
- providing a visual indication of the time remaining in the first and second pairing time windows via a graphical user interface.

A hearing device, the hearing device comprising:
- a microphone;
- a speaker;
- a processor coupled to the microphone and speaker;
- an antenna configured to transmit and receive wireless communication signals;
- a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions that when executed by the processor cause the hearing device to:
- sending time remaining in a first pairing time window for the hearing device to a computing device,
- wherein the sending occurs until the pairing time window has expired.
A computer-implemented method for providing pairing information, the method comprising:
- displaying a first pairing information for a first wireless communication device,
- wherein the first pairing information includes a first pairing time window age for the first wireless communication device;
- displaying a second pairing information for a second wireless communication device,
- wherein the second pairing information includes a second pairing time window age for the second wireless communication device;
- displaying a visual indication of the time remaining in the first and second pairing time windows via a graphical user interface;
- and
- modifying the visual indication after the first or second pairing time window has expired.
