Abstract
A wireless headset system for use with, e.g. mobile phones, and which incorporates a wireless headset which communicates with a base station via magnetic inductive coupling or radio frequency signals to dial and send or receive calls via a conventional phone, e.g. a mobile phone, attached to the base station. In one embodiment, the mobile phone is carried in the base station which is worn by the user.
Claims30
A wireless headset system for wirelessly communicating between a base station and a wireless headset worn by a user, wherein:
- the wireless headset includes:
- an ear piece;
- an ear hook attached to the ear piece and which fits over the ear of a user;
- a speaker mounted in the ear piece and positioned to reproduce sounds into the ear of the user;
- a boom having one end mounted to one end of the ear piece;
- a microphone mounted on another end of the boom;
- first transceiver mounted to another end of the ear hook and electrically connected to the speaker and the microphone for wirelessly communicating signals representative of audio signals between the wireless headset and the base station;
- and
- a battery pack detachably mounted on the first transceiver;
- and the base station includes:
- a power interface for releasably coupling the base station to an external source of electrical power;
- a phone interface for electronically coupling the base station to a mobile phone that is physically proximate to the base station to allow the base station to communicate with the mobile phone;
- a second transceiver for wirelessly communicating with the first transceiver;
- and
- a battery pack interface for interfacing with a battery pack capable of powering the base station when it is not connected to an external power source and capable of being recharged when the base station is connected to an external power source.
A modular wireless headset system for wirelessly communicating between a base station and a wireless headset module worn by a user, wherein:
- the wireless headset module includes:
- an ear piece;
- a speaker detachably mounted in the ear piece and positioned to reproduce sounds into the ear of the user;
- a boom having one end rotatably mounted to one end of the ear piece;
- a microphone mounted on another end of the boom;
- a transceiver module detachably mounted to another end of the ear hook and electrically connected to the speaker and the microphone for wirelessly communicating signals representative of audio signals between the wireless headset module and the base station;
- and
- a battery pack module detachably mounted on the transceiver module;
- and
- the base station includes:
- a power interface for releasably coupling the base station to an external source of electrical power;
- a phone interface for electronically coupling the base station to a phone to allow the base station to communicate with the phone;
- and
- a transceiver circuit for wirelessly communicating with the transceiver module.
