  • Earpiece charging case detection
    Patent number: 11791643
    Abstract: A system with an earpiece that comprises a rechargeable earpiece power source and a case that is configured to interface with the earpiece in an earpiece power source charging configuration and comprises a case power source that is configured to recharge the earpiece power source. A detection circuit, located in part in the earpiece and in part in the case, includes at least one earpiece electrical contact that is configured to electrically couple to at least one case electrical contact when the earpiece is interfaced with the case in the earpiece power source charging configuration. The detection circuit is configured to detect, using the earpiece and case electrical contacts, whether the earpiece is interfaced with the case in the earpiece power source charging configuration, even if one of the earpiece power source and the case power source does not have power.
