Embodiment Construction

[0016] In one aspect, the present invention is directed to a wireless headset that receives streaming audio data over an ad hoc wireless network and an infrastructure wireless network, and transitions seamlessly between the wireless networks. The earphones may include one or more in-ear, on-ear or around-ear speaker elements. exist Figure 1A and 1B Two kinds of in-ear earphone shapes of the wireless earphone 10 are respectively shown in the figure, but in other embodiments, the earphones can adopt different shapes, Figure 1A and 1B The example shapes shown in are not limiting. In one embodiment, the headset automatically and seamlessly transitions between communication modes without user intervention. That is, the headset can automatically switch from an ad hoc wireless network to an infrastructure wireless network without user intervention. An "ad hoc wireless network" as used herein is a network in which two (or more) wireless-capable devices (such as a headset and a ...

Abstract

A wireless earphone that comprises a transceiver circuit for receiving streaming audio from a data source over a local ad hoc wireless network. When the data source and the earphone are out of range, they transition automatically to an infrastructure wireless network. If there is no common infrastructure wireless network for both the data source and the speakerphone set, the earphone connects to a host server via an available wireless network.

Description

[0001] priority claim [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Application Serial No. 61 / 123,265, filed April 7, 2008, which is hereby incorporated by reference. Background technique [0003] Digital audio players, such as MP3 players and iPods, that store and play digital audio files are very popular. Such devices typically include a data storage unit for storing and playing digital audio, and a headset connected to the data storage unit, usually with a 1 / 4" or 3.5mm plug and associated plug The earphones are usually earphones. However, the cord between the earphone and the data storage unit is cumbersome and annoying to the user, and the length of the cord limits the distance between the data storage unit and the earphone. Therefore, Some cordless headsets have been proposed, such as the Monster iFreePlay Cordless Headphones from Apple Inc., which include a docking port on one of the headsets to be able to connect directly to an iPod Shuffle. However, sin...
