Abstract: The present disclosure relates to communication devices. Such devices may comprise input for receiving sound signal to be processed and presented to a user, and output for outputting the processed signal to a user perceivable as sound. Such processing may be performed by use of a processor for processing the sound signal in dependence of a setting or a set of setting to compensate a hearing loss profile. Further, the communication device may comprise a bio-signal acquisition and amplifier component in communication with a user interface for providing the bio-signals as input to the user interface, the user interface controlling the setting or set of setting for operation of the communication device.

Abstract: A communication apparatus (1), such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer or a laptop computer, provides charging reminders to the user of a connected peripheral device (14), such as a headset. The charging reminders are provided in dependence on an auxiliary status signal (AS) received from the peripheral device (14) and on detected charging events (ME), wherein a main charging event (ME) comprises a charging or replacement of a main battery (2) that energizes the communication apparatus (1). The auxiliary status signal (AS) indicates an auxiliary energy level (AL) of an auxiliary battery (15) of the peripheral device (14). The communication apparatus (1) detects low-battery conditions (LC), based on the indicated auxiliary energy level (AL), and provides notification signals (NS) for a user interface (11) to notify the user of the detected low-battery conditions (LC) in response to the detected main charging events (ME).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a controller for controlling an electronic device. The invention may e.g. be used to control a headset or another electronic device connected to the controller. The controller (1) comprises an elongate controller body (3) having a first body end (4) and a second body end (5). The controller body (3) comprises an elongate rotatable body section (10) adapted to be rotated by a user about a longitudinal axis (11) extending through the first body end (4) and the second body end (5). The rotatable body section (10) has a radially outer side surface (12) extending between a first section end (13) near the first body end (4) and a second section end (14) near the second body end (5). The rotatable body section (10) has a size and shape allowing the user to rotate the rotatable body section (10) about the longitudinal axis (11) by performing a rolling action using three or more fingers (21, 22, 23).

Abstract: A control apparatus comprises a housing and is adapted to control a hearing device by recognizing predefined gestures made by the device wearer by moving one arm and/or or hand relative to the housing when the housing is in an operating position at or on the wearer's body. The housing comprises a reference electrode coupled capacitively to the wearer when the housing is in the operating position and a first sensor electrode. The control apparatus further comprises: a first signal generator to provide a first electric probe signal between the first sensor electrode and the reference electrode; a first measurement circuit to determine first signal values in dependence on the impedance between the first sensor electrode and the reference electrode; a detector to recognize gestures in dependence on the first signal values; and a control unit to provide control commands to the hearing device in dependence on recognized gestures.
