Publication number: 20180054508Abstract: The technology described in this document can be embodied in a method that includes receiving a first signal representative of audio captured using a microphone in communication with an analog communication module. The method also includes determining that a first feedback signal from the analog communication module includes a sidetone associated with the audio captured by the microphone, and responsive to determining that the first feedback signal includes the sidetone, generating, by one or more processing devices, at least one control signal that affects operations of a digital communication module.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2016Publication date: February 22, 2018Inventors: Paul G.

Patent number: 9747071Abstract: When an indication is received from a user input, a name of an audio source from an ordered list of audio sources to which a headset is currently connected is output. Whenever a successive indication is received within a predefined amount of time, the name of the next wireless audio source in the list is output. If the next wireless audio source in the list is the last wireless audio source in the list, and the successive indication from the user input is received before the elapsed time exceeds the predefined value, the name of the audio source to which the headset is currently connected is output as the next selected wireless audio source in the list. When an amount of time greater than the predefined value elapses without a successive indication from the user input, the last wireless audio source that had its name output is connected.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2016Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: BOSE CORPORATIONInventors: Naganagouda B. Patil, Rebecca DeVeer Crimmin, Douglas Warren Young

Publication number: 20170150488Abstract: The technology described in this document can be embodied in a method that includes establishing a first wireless communication channel between a first device and a second device. The method also includes accessing, by an application executing on the first device, a transmitter of a first device to transmit to a second device one or more signals configured to cause an occurrence of an event on the second device. The one or more signals are transmitted over a second wireless communication channel between the first device and the second device. The method further includes receiving, from the second device over the first wireless communication channel, information representing a media access control (MAC) address of the first device, and storing, on a storage device accessible by the first device, a representation of the MAC address of the first device. The MAC address is associated with the second wireless communication channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2015Publication date: May 25, 2017Inventors: Douglas W. Young, Naganagouda B. Patil, Hiren Harshad Patel, Prateek Gupta

Publication number: 20140256260Abstract: A wireless communication network includes a communication source device, such as a Bluetooth digital music player and a communication destination device, such as a Bluetooth headphone or speaker device. The communication source device is configured to transmit audio signals, such as encoded electrical signals in the audio frequency band, to the communication destination device via a wireless or wired audio communication channel. Upon receiving the audio signal, the communication destination device is configured to uniquely identify the communication source device and subsequently enter a discoverable mode to establish a wireless communication channel with the source device, such as via Bluetooth pairing. With such a configuration, the wireless communication channel connection process can be automated requiring little to no user action on either the source or destination device to accomplish the wireless pairing process.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2013Publication date: September 11, 2014Applicant: Bose CorporationInventors: Joji Ueda, Naganagouda B.
