Abstract: A wireless headset with an integral display is provided, the headset capable of communicating via a wireless network to a cellular telephone, cellular telephone adaptor, land-line telephone, land-line telephone adaptor, computer, personal digital assistant, or other device capable of communicating via the wireless network. The wireless headset of the invention includes an input transducer (e.g., a microphone), an output transducer (e.g., a speaker), a wireless networking subsystem and a controller/controller interface. The headset may also include means for attaching the headset to the user in order to allow hands-free operation. The integral display, fabricated using any of a variety of suitable technologies, allows headset and system information to be displayed (e.g., battery levels, signal levels, call status, caller identification, incoming call alert, current time, current date, elapsed use time, etc.). The integral display can also be used to aid headset/system configuration (e.g.

Abstract: A handsfree car mounting kit for a mobile telephone (6) coupled to a head-set (4) via a Bluetooth radio module consists of a passive communications unit (1), which has a loudspeaker and a microphone (5), optionally coupled to an amplifier, arranged in a cabinet which has a bearing or a holder on its outer side in which the headset (4) may be placed and connected electrically to the communications unit. Further, the cabinet is provided with a plug terminal for a 12 volts socket terminal (3), such as a cigarette lighter in a car.

Abstract: A headset with a headband is equipped with at least one cup in which a male or female plug is arranged. The cup is intended for the mounting of a speaker or a speaker with microphone arm, said speaker or speaker with microphone arm being also provided with a male or female plug adapted to be connected to the male or female plug in the cup. The headband of the headset is hollow so that the wire may be run from one side of the headset to the other side. Hereby, the speaker and/or speaker with microphone arm of the headset may easily be replaced, without having to scrap the entire headset. Thus, it is possible to upgrade the headset currently for technical as well as aesthetic reasons. In an embodiment, the headset is provided with a cup at one side and at the other side with a T-member which constitutes a support part against a user's head.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for processing communication signals in a telephony or communication system. In various embodiments, the method or the apparatus comprises identifying a first signal which comprises an incoming communication signal and a feedback signal, controlling a logic for cancelling or suppressing a feedback effect based at least in part upon the first signal, processing the first signal using an adaptive filter based at least in part upon the first signal and a result of controlling the logic for cancelling or suppressing the feedback effect, and causing the processed first signal to be transmitted to a first output device. In some embodiments, the method and the apparatus further comprise identifying a communication context which the communication system is currently in. In some embodiments, the method and apparatus further comprise determining a filter coefficient for the adaptive filter.

Abstract: Communication unit comprising a house in which at least one transducer is placed, and on which a microphone arm is suspended. The housing also has an ear hook for fastening the communication unit to the head of a user. The microphone arm is pivotally connected to the housing by a hinge link at an outer area of the housing, and so that the microphone arm can be moved between a position in which it lies up against the housing, and a position in which it extends away from the housing. The microphone arm has a length, which in the main is less than or of the same order as the greatest extent of the housing, so that in the folded-in state the microphone arm does not project out over the circumference of the housing. The communication unit can be used on both the right and the left side of the head, in that the ear hook can be suspended in two different positions.

Abstract: A headset (1, 10, 30) e.g. for use in connection with wireless communication by means of Bluetooth technology in connection with mobile telephones, PSTN telephones and the like, which comprises a housing (2, 3, 11, 28) with a transducer (5, 12, 27) in the form of a speaker, as well as a microphone (4, 14, 29) and an ear hook (6, 23, 28). In a first embodiment, the housing may be constructed as two shells (2, 3) which may be opened and closed so that all mechanical parts may be concealed on the housing when the headset (1, 10, 30) is not in use, thereby ensuring that the various parts are not damaged when the headset is stored in a pocket. The shells (2, 3) may be interconnected by means of a hinge (7, 8) which has an axis disposed in the same plane as the surface of the shells. Alternatively, the shells may be arranged such that the axis is disposed in a perpendicular plane relative to the surface of the shells.
