Problems solved by technology

[0026] Other means for contactless data transfer (such as adding an additional radio with sufficient data throughput, such as WiFi, UWB or others) have high power consumption, increase the cost of the handheld device, occupy valuable internal device real estate, and Additional Antenna Required
This can make it impractical to integrate additional high-speed radios into this space-constrained device

Abstract

One example discloses an optical communication interface for a handheld device: wherein the handheld device has an outer surface; wherein the outer surface includes an inwardly facing side and an outwardly facing side; on the inwardly facing side of the handheld device, an optical an input and an electrical output of a first optical receiver; wherein the electrical output is coupled to circuitry; and wherein the optical input is configured to be optically coupled to a second optical transmitter on the outward facing side of the handheld device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present specification relates to systems, methods, apparatus, apparatus, articles of manufacture and instructions for optical communication interfaces. Background technique [0002] Handheld devices come in many forms such as: smartphones, wearables, hearables, earbuds, mobile devices, and various medical devices. Handheld devices are defined herein to include devices that can be easily carried by an ordinary person. Such handheld devices are not necessarily always held by a person's hand, but in many example embodiments are carried by a person's hand at some point (such as when attached to a piece of clothing, jig, or person's body). of. [0003] A handheld device such as a hearable can consist of two wireless earbuds with embedded audio and sensor capabilities. In terms of audio functionality, the handheld device can support stereo audio playback from external devices such as mobile phones, and phone calls in most cases. The handheld device c...
