Publication number: 20230336502Abstract: A method and wireless communication device use a first processing unit to perform a first communication event within a first communication window by use of a first communication protocol, a second processing unit to perform a second communication event within a second communication window by use of a second communication protocol, and a wireless communication unit connected to a radio-frequency antenna to transmit and/or receive a packet wirelessly. The first and second processing units may perform the first and second communication events via the wireless communication unit. The second processing unit or the wireless communication unit may transmit an event signal to the first processing unit when performing the second communication event or receiving a packet, respectively, to allow the first processing unit to arrange the first communication window (or first communication event) with respect to the second communication window (or second communication event) to minimize interference.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2023Publication date: October 19, 2023Applicant: Oticon A/SInventors: Franz TREUE, Bjarne KLEMMENSEN, Rune SØ

Patent number: 10841714Abstract: The invention relates to a hearing device that comprises a data interface for receiving data and a memory unit for storing data. The memory unit comprises a non-static section and a static section. The static section comprises a unique key that is unique for the specific hearing device. The hearing device further comprises a verifier that is configured to process the unique key and a second key contained in first type data received via the data interface in order to determine whether the second key needs a verification criterion with respect to the unique key. The verifier is further configured to discard received first type data in the non-static section of the memory unit if the second key contained in received data does not meet the verification criterion with respect to the unique key stored in the static section of the memory unit.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2018Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: OTICON A/SInventors: Klaus Ruggaard Mebus, Henrik Nielsen, Franz Treue
