[0032] In business environments, wireless business headsets typically need to be paired with devices such as office computers or smartphones for efficient work communication. Business headsets usually consist of a base and the headset itself. The base is typically placed on a desk for storing the headset when not in use. The headset itself usually includes an earpiece and a microphone, which can be connected to external business devices, such as business computers or mobile business terminals, via wires or wirelessly. The earpiece converts the audio signal from the computer and / or mobile phone connected via Bluetooth into an audio signal that the user can hear; or the microphone converts the user's voice into an audio signal that can be used for Bluetooth calls via a computer or mobile phone.

[0033] This application provides a business headset 100, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the business headset 100 includes a base 120 and a headset body 110. The headset body 110 transmits data information to an external audio playback device 200 through a first communication module 111. The base 120 includes a second communication module 121, a display control module 122, and a display interface 123. The base 120 is wirelessly connected to the headset body 110 through the second communication module 121 and obtains data information from the headset body 110. The display control module 122 processes the data information and displays the processed data information through the display interface 123.

[0034] The dock 120 can display information from external devices, a feature that significantly improves work efficiency and the convenience of information management. Users can view and manage notifications from computers or mobile phones in real time, such as schedule reminders, meeting arrangements, and caller ID, without frequently switching devices or interrupting their work, thus ensuring timely response and processing of important information.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first communication module 111 supports audio transmission and data transmission, and supports multiple audio and data transmissions, and can establish connections with multiple external audio playback devices 200 simultaneously; the display interface 123 is used to display data information of multiple external audio playback devices 200.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 The dashed line represents the audio information transmission process between the headphone body 110 and the external audio playback device 200, while the solid line represents the data information transmission process between the headphone body 110, the external audio playback device 200, and the dock 120.

[0037] The first communication module 111 supports multi-channel audio and data transmission. The headset 110 can simultaneously connect to multiple external audio playback devices 200 via Bluetooth, such as computers, smartphones, or tablets in a business environment, eliminating the need for frequent re-pairing and saving time while improving work efficiency. During business meetings or work, users can respond to notifications and calls from different devices through the headset 110, preventing situations where users are using a computer for video calls and meetings but cannot detect work calls on their mobile phones.

[0038] Furthermore, when a user chooses to answer a work call on their mobile phone, the headset can automatically switch to audio transmission with the phone without disconnecting the transmission path from the computer. This means the headset can maintain a connection with multiple external audio playback devices 200 simultaneously; the user simply selects to answer any external audio playback device 200, and the headset immediately switches to the corresponding audio transmission path. In a dynamic business environment, this approach provides flexibility, allowing users to quickly respond to communication needs on different devices as required. It is particularly suitable for business professionals in fast-paced work environments, improving work efficiency.

[0039] Further reference Figure 2 The business headset 100 also includes a third communication module 130. The third communication module 130 enables external audio playback devices 200 that do not originally support Bluetooth or have incompatible Bluetooth versions to wirelessly connect to the headset body 110, greatly expanding the applicability of the headset body 110. In this embodiment, the third communication module 130 is a wireless dongle module that conforms to the USB HID standard, supports plug-and-play, and provides users with a convenient connection method without the need to install additional drivers. In a business environment, users can quickly connect the headset system to different devices in the meeting room, improving business work efficiency.

[0040] In this embodiment, the third communication module 130 not only realizes the audio transmission between the external audio playback device 200 and the headphone body 110, but also realizes the reception and transmission of data signals so as to realize the control of the external audio device (computer).

[0041] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 2The display interface 123 is also used to display the operation interface for users to send control commands; the display control module 122 is also used to receive control commands and send the control commands to the headphone body 110 through the second communication module 121 to control the headphones to respond to the control commands. The external audio playback device 200 queries the control commands received by the headphone body 110 in real time and responds to the control commands.

[0042] The display interface 123 of the base 120 not only displays information but also serves as an operating interface, allowing users to send control commands. These control commands can control the headphone body 110 or an external audio playback device 200 connected to the headphone body 110. The display control module 122 is responsible for receiving the control commands input by the user through the display interface 123 and wirelessly transmitting these commands to the headphone body 110 through the second communication module 121.

[0043] The display interface 123 of the base 120 provides an operation panel, allowing users to input control commands via touch or physical buttons. These commands can control not only the volume, play / pause, mute, select mono / stereo output, and select audio output effects of the headset itself 110, but also control external audio playback devices 200, such as answering or hanging up phone calls on the computer, adjusting the computer's volume, switching playback content on the computer, or running software on the computer with a single click. In this embodiment, the "phone on the computer" refers to commonly used communication tools in a business environment, such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom, WeChat voice messages, Fetion, DingTalk, Tencent Meeting, and other business communication software running on computers.

[0044] The first communication module 111 and the second communication module 121 are BLE Bluetooth chips, responsible for processing the transmission and reception of wireless signals according to the BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) protocol, as well as data exchange with other parts of the device. The Bluetooth chip in this embodiment can be used for both audio and data transmission simultaneously, and integrates a 2.4GHz transceiver to achieve higher-speed data transmission, which facilitates more complex interactions and functions.

[0045] The earphone body 110 features dual-mode Bluetooth functionality, enabling simultaneous connections to both a mobile phone and a Bluetooth adapter dongle (for connecting to a computer). This design allows the earphones to directly transmit audio and communicate data with both devices. The dock 120 does not connect directly to the external audio playback device 200; instead, it interacts with the earphone body 110 via BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) technology. This low-power Bluetooth technology primarily transmits control signals and does not involve audio signals, thus reducing power consumption and improving response speed.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown by the solid line, the business headset 100 of this application sets the dock 120, external audio playback device 200, and third communication module 130 as master devices for BLE data, while the headset body 110 acts as a slave device. Taking the external audio playback device 200 as a business mobile phone and the third communication module 130 as a business computer, and taking the interaction between the business computer, headset body 110, and dock 120 as an example: when the computer receives an incoming call message or plays lyrics for music, it actively sends this data information to the headset body 110. Since the headset body 110 is a BLE slave device, it cannot actively send data, but it can respond to queries from the master device. At this time, the dock 120, as the master device, queries and obtains whether the headset body 110 has updated data information at a high frequency (e.g., 20 times per second). Once new data information is obtained, the display control module 122 processes this data information and displays the processed data information through the display interface 123 to prompt the user. If it is necessary to display incoming calls, notifications, or other information from a business mobile phone connected to the headset 110 on the display interface 123 of the dock 120, the process is the same as the interaction process of the aforementioned business computer, and will not be repeated here.

[0047] In the embodiment described above where the user can send commands through the operation interface of display interface 123, the external audio playback device 200, such as a business computer or business mobile phone, also queries the BLE data update on the headset body 110 in real time after establishing a connection. For example, if display interface 123 displays "Incoming call on computer," when the user clicks the answer icon or button on display interface 123, the display control module 122 of the base 120, upon receiving this control command, controls the second communication module 121 to send the command to the headset body 110. The business computer, as the primary BLE device, queries and obtains the control command from the headset body 110, responds to the answer command, and answers the incoming call on the computer. If the control command is for the headset, the external audio playback device 200 will not respond.

[0048] By setting the headset 110 as a slave device, all master devices (external audio playback device 200 and dock 120) communicate directly with the headset 110 and are indirectly connected through the headset 110, avoiding the confusion that might arise from direct communication between multiple master devices. If the headset 110, external audio playback device 200, and dock 120 were all BLE master devices, they would need to coordinate who sends data first and who sends data last, and how to handle data conflicts, which would increase system complexity and potentially lead to communication delays or errors. Furthermore, since the headset 110 only needs to respond to requests and does not need to actively send data, this reduces wireless signal interference and improves the stability of the entire system.

[0049] In this embodiment, the display interface 123 also serves as a shortcut function panel to expand the additional function modules of the external audio playback device 200. The shortcut function panel can be a dial pad, allowing users to quickly make calls directly from the dial pad on the headphone dock 120 without unlocking the phone, searching for contacts, or manually entering numbers, saving time and reducing distractions. The shortcut function panel can also be a third-party simulated mouse or keyboard operation for the computer, allowing users to quickly launch software or easily reply via the keyboard or shortcut keys.

[0050] In the embodiments of this application, the base 120 holding the earphone body 110 is designed to integrate a multi-functional module, including but not limited to a recording module, a speaker module, and a voice recognition module. The recording module enables high-quality audio recording during meetings, facilitating post-meeting summary and review, thereby improving meeting recording efficiency. The speaker module allows the base 120 to directly play audio from a computer or other devices when external audio is needed or for small meetings, eliminating the need for additional audio equipment. The voice recognition module not only transcribes meeting conversations into text records in real time, supporting multi-language recognition to meet the needs of international business meetings, but also activates voice assistant services, enhancing the functionality and applicability of the earphone base 120. This multi-functional module greatly enhances the practicality and convenience of the earphones in a business office environment.

[0051] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the base 120 is connected to the headphone body 110; the base 120 is provided with a discharge contact 124 and a hook 125, and the headphone body 110 is provided with a power-taking contact 112 and a slot 114. When the discharge contact 124 is connected to the power-taking contact 112, the hook 125 is connected to the slot 114.

[0052] The discharge contact 124 on the base 120 precisely connects with the power contact 112 on the earphone body 110 to achieve power transmission, while the tight engagement between the hook 125 and the slot 114 ensures a stable connection between the earphone and the base 120, facilitating efficient charging and data synchronization. This design allows the earphone to be conveniently placed on the base 120 when not in use, instantly initiating charging and securing the connection. This reduces cable clutter, improves device usability, and, in a business office environment, enhances the user experience with its instant charging and precise connection, keeping users in a pleasant business environment.

[0053] The base 120 is also equipped with multiple data interfaces 126, at least one of which is used for power connection, ensuring the stability and reliability of the power supply. In this embodiment, as... Figure 2As shown, the data interface 126 for connecting to an external power source is located on the end face of the base 120 away from the bracket. This design ensures that when an external power source supplies power to the headphone jack via a Type-C cable or other standard cable, the cable will not interfere with the placement or removal of the headphones. Continuing as shown, the data interface 126 on the headphone jack can also be a USB interface, acting as a USB hub expansion dock, providing users with additional USB ports. The headphone jack can also connect to external terminal devices such as business computers or mobile phones via the data interface 126 for data exchange and can draw power from these external devices. The headphone jack of this embodiment not only charges the headphones but also expands the computer's connectivity, allowing users to connect more external devices such as USB flash drives, mice, and keyboards.

[0054] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the headset body 110 also features a charging port 113, catering to the practical needs of business professionals who frequently travel and work on the go. When users are not in the office environment or when the headset dock is unavailable, such as while traveling, they can directly charge the headset body 110 via this charging port 113 and a standard external power adapter. This ensures the headset remains usable even in critical moments, improves battery life flexibility, and provides business users with continuous work communication support, maintaining communication connectivity and productivity wherever they are.

[0055] It should be noted that the earphone body in this application embodiment can be in various forms for user wear, such as over-ear, neckband, or ear-hook. It can have two earpieces corresponding to the left and right ears respectively and working with a microphone, or it can be designed as a combination of a single earpiece and a microphone. Furthermore, the "business" application scenario or "business" earphone mentioned in this application embodiment is mainly to distinguish it from ordinary entertainment earphones used only for listening to audio. While entertainment earphones only need to ensure audio quality, business earphones also need to ensure call functionality to meet the needs of real-time communication, and have a certain high standard for audio communication quality. They should provide clear voice transmission and noise reduction effects in real-time communication scenarios such as teaching, remote work, and business meetings, thereby improving work efficiency and communication effectiveness.

[0056] The business headset 100 of this application is connected to the headset body 110 via a base 120. The display screen integrated in the base 120 enables convenient caller ID display, effectively preventing missed important calls and thus improving office efficiency and user experience. This design makes the business headset 100 not only an audio input / output device, but also a multifunctional business office device.

[0057] Regarding the embodiments of this application, it should also be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of this application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other to obtain new embodiments.
