Abstract: A communication device comprises a housing with a housing wall encapsulating a housing interior. A microphone is arranged in the housing interior and communicates via an audio passage with the outside of the housing. An electrical socket is adapted to receive an electrical plug through a socket opening, which is accessible from the outside of the housing. The audio passage comprises the socket opening and the electrical socket includes a socket casing which surrounds the socket opening and extends in the insertion direction of the electrical plug. The socket casing includes through-going holes which form a part of the audio passage. The electrical plug is adapted to be removably inserted in the electrical socket and is provided with latching protrusions, which are adapted to be received in the through-going holes in the socket casing, when the electrical plug is inserted in the electrical socket.

Abstract: A headset (1; 101; 102) comprising a housing (2; 102; 103) and a microphone arm (3; 103; 203). The microphone arm (3; 103; 203) is connected to a hinge member (4; 104; 204), which is pivotally connected to the housing (2; 102; 103) such that the microphone arm (3; 103; 203) can be rotated about a first pivot axis (P1; P101; P201) between a first position, in which it lies along a first surface (9; 109; 209) of the housing (2; 102; 202) and a second, extended position in which it extends away from the housing (3; 103; 203). The headset is further provided with a switch (19), which is operably connected to the microphone arm (3; 103; 203) or the hinge member (4; 104; 204), such that a rotation of the microphone arm (3; 103; 203) from the first position to the second position or vice versa activates the switch (19) and changes headset mode.

Abstract: A wireless headset (1) for forming a connection endpoint of a communications channel with at least one further connection point (4, 26, 27). The headset (1) comprising: means (11) for attaching the headset (1) to the head of the user, a short-range receiver (2) for receiving a first signal from at least one peripheral device (4, 26), a short-range transmitter (3) for transmitting a second signal to the peripheral device (4, 26), a speaker (5) for generating a sound, selecting means (7, 10) for selecting a connection point (4, 26, 27) from at least two different connection points (4, 26, 27) and a memory (8) for storing identity information of the at least two different connection points (4, 26, 27). The headset (1) comprises voice announcement means (7, 8, 9) for announcing through the speaker (5) the identity of the selected connection point (4, 26, 27).

Abstract: A headset for voice communication is provided, the headset has a first earphone housing being rotatable about a first rotational axis, and a pickup unit comprising at least one microphone arranged on the earphone housing. The earphone housing comprises an earphone housing circuit, a first speaker for receiving a speaker signal from the earphone housing circuit, and at least a first ring of electrically conductive material formed annularly about the first rotational axis and mounted in electrical contact with the earphone housing circuit. An earphone housing connector part comprises at least a first set of contact members mounted in the earphone housing connector part so as to provide electrical connection between the at least first set of contact members and the at least first ring, to thereby connect the at least first set of contact members to a second speaker and/or an electronic circuit for processing signals.

Abstract: A communication unit, e.g. a headset, constructed as a slave station which may be coupled to a plurality of master stations, e.g. a mobile telephone, via a short-ranged communications connection, such as of the Bluetooth type or the DECT type, and has a plurality of address fields in which one or more identification keys may be stored. At least one of the address fields has an associated electrical lock which may be unlocked only by an adapter master station having a unique indentification key. It is also possible to “lift” the receiver of the public switched telephone electrically or mechanically via the headset, so that a call and conversations from the public switched telephone may be made and take place via the headset. In an embodiment, the coupling box has a recess in which the headset may be placed and be charged via a charging unit in the coupling boy.

Abstract: A handheld or wearable first communication device (1; 2) for locating a second handheld or wearable communication device (1; 2). The first communication device (1) is wirelessly connected to the second device (2) and comprises a processor (6), an orientation sensor (3; 34) and a readout device (5; 20; 22). The first communication device (1; 2) is adapted to store link values representing the bit error rate of the wireless link (16) between the first communication device (1; 2) and the second communication device (1; 2) as a function of the orientation of the first communication device (1; 2). The readout device (2; 20; 22) is adapted to inform the user of the specific direction (15), at which the second communication device (1; 2) is located relative to the first communication device (1,2). The invention also relates to a method of locating a second communication device and a computer program for locating a second communication device (1; 2).

Abstract: Communication unit comprising a housing (1) in which at least one transducer is placed, and on which a microphone arm (2) is suspended. The housing also has an ear hook (6) for fastening the communication unit to the head of a user. The microphone arm (2) is pivotally connected to the housing (1) by a hinge link (3,4,5) at an outer area of the housing, and so that the microphone arm (2) can be moved between a position in which it lies up against the housing (1), 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.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to devices, systems and methods for programming base units of communication headset systems with new or updated configuration parameters by a portable or handheld programming unit.

Abstract: A PC containing a softphone is connected to a headset (14) by means of a control unit (9) which is connected to a USB gate (6) in the PC. The PC has a security function, which means that the PC can be accessed only by users who e.g. know an access code. The control unit (9), comprising inter alia a sound card, is equipped such that also commands may be given to the softphone (15), even if for security reasons the PC is blocked e.g. by a security code, it being possible to transfer a limited number of commands via the USB gate (6) from the control unit (9). The invention ensures that, irrespective of the state of the PC, the softphone can always be used, as the control unit (9) always gives access to it, which may be important, e.g. in connection with an emergency call.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method and system for sound optimization to be installed on a computer, wherein the optimization determines the positions of a microphone and a sound source on a digital image captured by the camera and optimizes how the sound captured by the microphone or advises the user on how optimize by repositioning the microphone and the sound source in relation to each other.
