A weather resistant sound attenuating communications headset of modular construction includes two ear cup modules, a microphone boom module, a head band module, a headband cable module, and a termination cable module. The modular construction allows easy replacement of modules as well as selected components of the modules under field conditions without the need for tools. Replaceable water resistant thin film membranes are employed to provide weather protection as well as hygienic protection for the microphone, speaker and amplification electronics. The thin film membranes which cover areas which come into intimate contact with the wearer are easily replaceable under field conditions. Thus a headset that is shared by more than one user can be hygienically cleansed by simple replacement of the microphone and ear cup membranes.

Disclosed herein is a communications system implementing a headset wirelessly connected to a half-duplex communications device, such as a two-way radio or a radio-simulating cellular phone. The headset may incorporate a transmit/receive switch wherein a transmit signal is wirelessly transmitted from the headset to the communications device to direct the communications device to enter into a transmit mode. Alternatively, a wireless transmit/receive switch may be implemented separately from the wireless headset, where the wireless transmit/receive switch may be positioned in the proximity of the communications device and the headset and may be engaged by a user to direct the communications device to enter a transmit mode.

A case is provided to protect a mobile terminal. The case includes a housing, typically formed of a waterproof material to prevent the incursion of water or other contaminants. The housing may include two portions with a gasket therebetween to create a hermetic seal. As such, the case and the mobile terminal may be buoyant. The housing may carry input component(s) for receiving user input and/or output component(s) for providing user output. The housing also carries a signal processor which converts any user input to signals that the mobile terminal is capable of processing. Similarly, the signal processor may convert any signals received by the mobile terminal to signals that the output component is capable of processing. The input, output, and signal processing components may be removable from the housing while still being capable of communicating with the mobile terminal so as to be used as a headset.

A small light weight modular microcomputer based computer and communications systems, designed for both portability and desktop uses. The systems make use of a relative large flat panel display device assembly (2), an expandable hinge device (10), battery power source (9), keyboard assembly (16), and wireless communications devices (32, 51). Systems can be configured in a portable arrangement similar to conventional notebook computers, but can be quickly and easily disassembled and re-assembled for office desktop uses. Systems may consist of a base computer unit (100) comprising communication devices may act as a relay station relaying voice and other data between the handset or earset and external wide area communications networks. The system may be capable of performing, personal digital assistant (PDA), cellular telephone, conventional notebook computer, desktop computer functions.

A conference phone system includes personal headsets and a base unit. The personal headsets individually capture audios of local participants on a conference call (“local audios”) and transmit the local audios in separate and identifiable channels to the base unit. The base unit receives the local audios and transmits the local audios in separate and identifiable audio streams over a network to a network client. For a remote participant on the conference call, the network client reproduces the local audios and indicates one or more participants who are presently speaking. The network client can also virtualize the local audios so that the remote participant can distinguish the participants by their relative positions, whether virtual or actual. The network client uses the audio source identification information of various participants to enable conference features to mute, enhance, or hold private sidebar conversations.

The invention discloses a Bluetooth headset and audio sharing method by virtue of Bluetooth headsets. The Bluetooth headset comprises a first Bluetooth module, a second Bluetooth module, a signal processing module and an NFC module. The audio sharing method comprises the following steps: a first Bluetooth headset is in pairing connection with audio output equipment through a first Bluetooth module and used for receiving audio data and transmitting the audio data to the signal processing module of the first Bluetooth headset; when a second Bluetooth headset gets close to the first Bluetooth headset and sends request signals, the second Bluetooth module of the first Bluetooth headset exchanges addresses with the first Bluetooth module of the second Bluetooth headset through an NFC module so as to complete pairing connection; the second Bluetooth module of the first Bluetooth headset sends the audio data to the second Bluetooth headset; the first Bluetooth module of the second Bluetooth headset receives the audio data and transmits the audio data to the signal processing module of the second Bluetooth headset, and the audio data is sent to the next Bluetooth headset through the second Bluetooth module of the second Bluetooth headset after being processed. According to the audio sharing method, the audio sharing is realized among a number of Bluetooth headsets (unlimited).

A call operation method for a wireless communication device answers an incoming call in response to a user interaction with a user interface or connection of headset to the device and checks a connection state of a headset before initiating an outgoing call.

A virtual reality ride system including a headset, a control unit, and a dynamic platform. The headset includes a display unit configured to display a video of an animated virtual environment. The control unit includes one or more processors configured to perform render processing that renders the video of the virtual environment; event motion processing that generates first data representing motions associated with events in the virtual environment; and low-frequency motion processing that generates second data representing low-frequency vibrations unrelated to the events in the virtual environment. The dynamic platform is configured to produce the motions associated with the events in the virtual environment based on the first data, and to produce the low-frequency vibrations based on the second data. The low-frequency vibrations include a frequency between about 5 Hz and 70 Hz.

A sound system, the sound system including: (i) a processor, configured to: (a) receive a requested sound signal and an ambient sound input signal; and (b) generate a modified requested signal by processing, in response to a desired level of ambient sound that is defined by a user, the requested sound signal and the ambient sound input signal, wherein an inclusion level of the ambient sound input signal in the modified requested signal is responsive to the desired level of ambient sound; and (ii) a signal provider configured to provide the modified requested signal to multiple speakers of a headset.
