Embodiment Construction

[0033] figure 1 A communication infrastructure 100 is shown. The communication infrastructure 100 includes a firmware distribution server 110, a data network 120, computer equipment 130, a headset system 140 including a headset 144 and a headset base unit 142, a protocol converter 160, telephone equipment (e.g., including a telephone base unit 172 and a telephone handset 174). desk phone 170) and telecommunications network 180. The data network 120 and the telecommunication network 180 may be different networks, one network, or the same network.

[0034] Desk phone 170 enables a user to communicate with others over telecommunications network 180 by voice. Others have other phones (eg, desk phones, cell phones, computer-based software, etc.) connected to the telecommunications network 180 for this purpose. The user can communicate with other people by means of a telephone handset 174 equipped with a microphone and a loudspeaker. Optionally, the desk phone 170 may be provide...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method of programming a processing unit by firmware in a protocol converter for providing first data received from a telephone device in accordance with a first protocol to a headset system in accordance with a second protocol and for providing second data received from the headset system in accordance with the second protocol to the telephone in accordance with the first protocol, the operation of the protocol converter being controlled by the processing unit. The invention further relates to a protocol converter, such as an Electronic Hook Switch adapter, for providing first data received from a telephone device in accordance with a first protocol to a headset system in accordance with a second protocol and for providing second data received from the headset system in accordance with the second protocol to the telephone device in accordance with the first protocol. The headset system provides firmware to the protocol converter in accordance with the second protocol.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of updating firmware control functions of a protocol converter arranged to operatively couple a telephone device to an audio interface system (eg a headset system). Background technique [0002] Despite the introduction of IP phones implemented in software for use on computers, desk phones are still common. In particular, in professional office use, such telephone equipment may be connected to a headset system for hands-free telephony. Such headsets may or may not have an electronic hook switch system that activates remote switching of the telephone connection through the headset system, similar to the operation of a mechanical hook switch of a telephone device. This means that in addition to speech and other audio data, command data is also passed between the telephone device and the headset system. [0003] Manufacturers of desk phones offer different and proprietary protocols rather than a universally sta...
