Abstract
Various embodiments disclose a computer-implemented method comprising detecting, by a wireless audio unit of a vehicle, one or more personal audio devices within the vehicle, establishing a wireless link with at least a first personal audio device of the one or more personal audio devices, synchronizing communications over the wireless link to the first personal audio device, and transmitting, from the wireless audio unit to the first personal audio device, an audio signal over the wireless link for playback by the first personal audio device.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- detecting, by a wireless audio unit of a vehicle, one or more personal audio devices within the vehicle;
- establishing a wireless link with at least a first personal audio device of the one or more personal audio devices;
- synchronizing communications over the wireless link to the first personal audio device;
- and
- transmitting, from the wireless audio unit to the first personal audio device, an audio signal over the wireless link for playback by the first personal audio device.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the steps of:
- detecting, by a wireless audio unit of a vehicle, one or more personal audio devices within the vehicle;
- establishing a wireless link with at least a first personal audio device of the one or more personal audio devices;
- synchronizing communications over the wireless link to the first personal audio device;
- and
- transmitting, from the wireless audio unit to the first personal audio device, an audio signal over the wireless link for playback by the first personal audio device.
A system comprising:
- a memory storing a wireless audio management application;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory that executes the wireless audio management application by performing the steps of:
- detecting, by a wireless audio unit of a vehicle, one or more personal audio devices within the vehicle;
- establishing a wireless link with at least a first personal audio device of the one or more personal audio devices;
- synchronizing communications over the wireless link to the first personal audio device;
- and
- transmitting, from the wireless audio unit to the first personal audio device, an audio signal over the wireless link for playback by the first personal audio device.
