Problems solved by technology

However, initiating a new registration for the second wireless device cancels the registration done earlier for the first wireless device, so that if the user wishes to resume using the first wireless device for this same purpose with the personal electronic device, the user must do so in order to do so. Manually start another registration process again
Personal electronic devices using wireless communications following the Bluetooth specification often suffer from this limitation
Its lack of convenience is contrasted with the possibility for a user to easily switch between any two wired devices of his or her choice for a given use with a personal electronic device

Embodiment Construction

[0020] figure 1 Possible operation of the audio interposer device 100 as intervening between the personal electronic device 900 and the pair of earphones 700 or between the personal electronic device 900 and the audio docking device 800 is depicted. The personal electronic device 900 includes a connector 950 that can be directly connected to the connector 750 of the earphone pair 700 or the connector 850 of the audio docking device 800, where the earphone pair 700 and the audio docking device 800 are only two components of a wired device. example. Personal electronic device 900 is capable of transmitting audio to and receiving commands from whatever device is connected to connector 950 using the various protocols associated with that wired connection. However, personal electronic device 900 also includes a wireless transceiver by which personal electronic device 900 can form a wireless point-to-point link with a wireless device. In forming the link, the personal electronic d...

Abstract

An apparatus (100, 200) meant to be interposed between a wired device (700, 800) and a wireless device (600, 900) gathers information concerning the functions of which each of the wired device (700, 800) and the wireless device (600, 900) are capable, and induces the wireless device (600, 900) to enable a wider range of wireless protocols by presenting the wireless device (600, 900) with a false indication to the effect that the apparatus (100, 200) is capable of performing a wider array of functions than it is at present requested to carry out to make possible an interaction between the wired device (700, 800) and wireless device (600, 900) through the apparatus (100, 200) in support of various audio-related functions. The wider arrays of functions allows the apparatus (100,200) to be wired connected to a plurality of wired devices or to switch among them, without requiring the wireless device (600,900) either to directly wired connect or switch among each of them or to carry out repetitive wireless registrations.

Description

technical field [0001] This description relates to sharing audio via wireless and dockable devices. Background technique [0002] Users of personal electronic devices such as cellular phones, MP3 music players, and PDAs also commonly own various wired devices designed to connect to and operate as accessories to those personal electronic devices. Such wired devices have included headsets, battery chargers, audio docking devices, vehicle docking interfaces, and home entertainment systems featuring docking interfaces. More sophisticated wired devices between these wired devices have used multipurpose digital buses in their connection to those personal electronic devices, including at least partially following the "Universal Serial Universal Serial Bus (Universal Serial Bus)" specification (USB specification) digital serial bus. These accessories allow such users to take their personal electronic devices with them and enjoy listening to audio and performing other tasks with th...
