Setup Management for Ear Tip Selection Fitting Process - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18331808 Titled 'Setup Management for Ear Tip Selection Fitting Process'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a method performed by a programmed processor in an in-ear headphone. The method involves obtaining a request from an audio source device to start a measurement process. In response, the headphone establishes a wireless connection with the source device and obtains an audio signal to drive its speaker and output sound. Based on the outputted sound, the headphone determines a fit parameter, which is then transmitted back to the source device.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method performed by a programmed processor of an in-ear headphone that is to be worn by a user. The method obtains, over a wireless communication link and via a first wireless connection that uses an accessory profile, a first request, from an audio source device, to start a measurement process. In response to obtaining the request, the method ) establishes, over the link, a second wireless connection that uses an audio distribution profile between the headphone and the source device, ) obtains, via the second wireless connection, an audio signal for driving a speaker of the headphone to output sound, ) responsive to the outputted sound, determining a fit parameter, and ) transmitting the fit parameter to the source device via the first wireless connection.
