SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROL OF AUDIO SWITCHING AT A LINKED INPUT/OUTPUT DEVICE BETWEEN TWO ACTIVE HOSTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240022847 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROL OF AUDIO SWITCHING AT A LINKED INPUT/OUTPUT DEVICE BETWEEN TWO ACTIVE HOSTS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a wireless speaker and microphone device that can be paired with multiple host information handling systems. It establishes wireless links with these systems and receives audio data streams from them. The device includes a microcontroller integrated circuit that notifies the user of incoming audio data streams and allows them to switch to a desired system.
- The wireless speaker and microphone device can connect to multiple host information handling systems.
- It can receive audio data streams from these systems.
- The device includes a microcontroller integrated circuit that alerts the user of incoming audio data streams.
- The user can choose to switch to a desired system using an input/output device.
- The microcontroller integrated circuit activates the selected audio data stream on the wireless link.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Conference calls: The device can be used in conference rooms to connect to multiple devices and facilitate audio communication.
- Home entertainment systems: Users can connect the device to different audio sources, such as TVs or music players, and switch between them easily.
- Public speaking events: Speakers can use the device to connect to different sound systems in different locations without the need for physical connections.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Simplified connectivity: The device eliminates the need for physical connections and allows users to easily switch between different audio sources.
- Flexibility: Users can connect the device to various host information handling systems, providing versatility in audio communication.
- Convenience: The microcontroller integrated circuit notifies the user of incoming audio data streams, making it easier to manage multiple connections.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved audio communication: The wireless speaker and microphone device ensures clear and reliable audio transmission between the device and the host information handling systems.
- Ease of use: Users can easily switch between different audio sources and manage multiple connections with the device.
- Versatility: The device can be used in various settings, such as conference rooms, homes, or public speaking events, providing flexibility in audio communication.
Original Abstract Submitted
a wireless speaker and microphone device paired with a plurality of host information handling systems comprising a microphone and a speaker, a wireless speaker and microphone device radio system establishing a first wireless link with a first host information handling system and establishing a second wireless link with a second host information handling system where the wireless speaker and microphone device receives a first active audio data stream on the first wireless link. the microcontroller integrated circuit to receives a signal on the second wireless link indicating an incoming available second audio data stream and provides an indication of the incoming available second audio data stream to a user. an input/output device receives an acceptance from the user and the microcontroller integrated circuit switches the speaker and the microphone to the second wireless link and sends a signal to activate the second audio data stream on the second wireless link.
