  • Method and system for remote telephone calibration
    Patent number: 6990190
    Abstract: A method and system for remotely calibrating a headset telephone with a reliable, accurate and easy to use user interface is provided. This method makes use of the remote programmability of advanced telephone headsets and DTMF signal encoding and permits the customer-user to instigate the calibration procedure with an ordinary telephone call. The invention provides a way for the optimum settings to be transmitted, loaded and stored to the headset, thereby improving the audio quality of telephone headsets by providing adjustment steps for such audio qualities as microphone gain, speaker gain, background noise and echo cancellation, filter functions and diagnostics.

  • Near-field speaker/microphone acoustic/seismic dampening communication device
    Patent number: 6741718
    Abstract: A communication device and overmold adapted to minimize the feedback, acoustic coupling, and seismic vibration between a speaker and microphone in close proximity, as is typically found in hands-free headsets, is provided. This invention, through the use of specific structures absorbs unwanted noise and sound waves thereby improving the performance of the communication system as a whole. The complete system of this invention is provided in several embodiments, including an embodiment where the microphone is inserted within the overmold structure, an embodiment where the microphone is a boom microphone and an embodiment where the microphone is somewhat remote (a few inches) down from a miniaturized overmold and is provided with an ON/OFF switch.
