Devices, Methods, and Graphical User Interfaces For Interactions with a Headphone Case - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17948083 titled 'Devices, Methods, and Graphical User Interfaces For Interactions with a Headphone Case

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for an audio output device case that has input devices and is connected to audio output devices and an audio source. The device performs a method where it receives input from the input devices and, in response, causes the audio output devices to perform an operation while maintaining communication with the audio source.

  • The audio output device case includes input devices and is connected to audio output devices and an audio source.
  • The device receives input from the input devices.
  • In response to the input, the device causes the audio output devices to perform an operation.
  • The device maintains communication between the audio source and the audio output devices.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be used in smartphone cases to control audio playback without having to touch the phone's screen.
  • It can be applied in portable speakers or headphones to provide convenient control options for users.
  • The technology can be integrated into car audio systems, allowing drivers to control audio playback without taking their hands off the steering wheel.

Problems Solved

  • The technology solves the problem of having to directly interact with the audio source or output devices to control audio playback.
  • It eliminates the need for separate control devices or remotes by integrating input devices into the audio output device case.
  • The technology allows for seamless communication between the audio source and the audio output devices while performing operations based on user input.

Benefits

  • Users can easily control audio playback without having to access the audio source or output devices directly.
  • The integrated input devices provide a convenient and portable solution for controlling audio output devices.
  • The technology enhances user experience by allowing for seamless communication between the audio source and the audio output devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

An audio output device case that includes one or more input devices and is in communication with at least one or more audio output devices and an audio source, performs a method, while the audio source is in communication with the one or more audio output devices, that includes receiving an input via the one or more input devices of the audio output device case, and in response to receiving the input, causes the one or more audio output devices to perform an operation associated with the received input while maintaining communication of the audio source with the one or more audio output devices.
