CONFIGURATION SWITCH TRIGGERS FOR AUDIO DEVICE COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18309690 titled 'CONFIGURATION SWITCH TRIGGERS FOR AUDIO DEVICE COMMUNICATIONS

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure relates to a wireless communication device (WCD) that can switch between different configurations to reduce voltage-induced interference in the audio output of an audio device during communication.

  • The WCD communicates with an audio device using different configurations with varying communication parameters.
  • The WCD can switch to a second configuration based on a trigger, such as a change in link quality metric or use state of the WCD.
  • The second configuration has values for communication parameters that reduce voltage-induced interference in the audio output of the audio device.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various wireless communication devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and Bluetooth headphones, to improve audio quality during wireless communication.

Problems Solved

This technology addresses the issue of voltage-induced interference in the audio output of an audio device during wireless communication, leading to a better user experience.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved audio quality, reduced interference, and a more seamless communication experience for users of wireless devices.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include the development of wireless communication devices with enhanced audio quality and improved interference reduction features, appealing to consumers looking for high-quality audio experiences.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of adaptive communication parameters in wireless devices to optimize performance based on environmental conditions or user preferences.

What are the specific communication parameters that can be adjusted in the different configurations mentioned in the abstract?

The abstract mentions that the WCD can switch between configurations with different values for communication parameters. It would be interesting to know which specific parameters are being adjusted and how they contribute to reducing voltage-induced interference in the audio output.

How does the configuration switch trigger work, and how does it determine when to switch to the second configuration?

Understanding the mechanism behind the configuration switch trigger would provide insights into how the WCD autonomously decides to switch configurations based on factors like link quality metrics or changes in the use state of the device.


Original Abstract Submitted

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless communication device (WCD) may communicate, via a wireless link, with an audio device using a first configuration having first values for communication parameters. The WCD may transmit an indication to switch to a second configuration based at least in part on a configuration switch trigger, the configuration switch trigger being based at least in part on one or more of a link quality metric associated with the wireless link or a change of a use state of the WCD, and the second configuration having second values for the communication parameters associated with a reduction in voltage-induced interference in an audio output of the audio device. Numerous other aspects are described.
