DETECTION OF EARBUD INSERTION IN A CASE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240106250 titled 'DETECTION OF EARBUD INSERTION IN A CASE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an apparatus consisting of two earbuds and a case that can detect the insertion of either earbud using current detection.
- The apparatus includes a case that encloses two earbuds and can detect when one of the earbuds is inserted into the case.
- The detection is based on the current provided to the earbuds when they are inserted into the case.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in:
- Wireless earbud charging cases
- Smart earbud storage cases
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of:
- Ensuring proper placement and charging of earbuds
- Preventing damage to earbuds by detecting incorrect insertion
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Convenient and efficient charging of earbuds
- Protection of earbuds from damage
Potential Commercial Applications
"Smart Earbud Charging Case Technology for Wireless Earbuds"
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be existing wireless earbud charging cases that do not have the capability to detect the insertion of earbuds.
What is the cost of manufacturing this apparatus?
The cost of manufacturing this apparatus would depend on various factors such as the materials used, the complexity of the detection mechanism, and the scale of production. A detailed cost analysis would be needed to determine the exact manufacturing cost.
How does the detection of earbud insertion work?
The detection of earbud insertion is based on the current provided to the earbuds when they are inserted into the case. This current detection mechanism triggers the case to detect the presence of an earbud and initiate the necessary actions such as charging or storage.
Original Abstract Submitted
an apparatus includes a first and a second earbud and a case. the case is configured to provide an enclosure for the first and the second earbud and detect an insertion of either of the first earbud or the second earbud in the enclosure by using detection of a current provided to at least one of the first earbud and the second earbud.
