  • Headphones restricted to use with a particular controlled-environment facility resident communication and/or media device
    Patent number: 11509986
    Abstract: Methods and systems for restricting use of a set of wired headphones to use with a particular controlled-environment facility resident communication and/or media device may employ wired headphones having a near field communication (NFC) functionality storing a serial number, or the like, of a particular controlled-environment facility resident communication and/or media device. Controlled-environment facility resident communication and/or media devices read information stored in the NFC functionality of a set of wired headphones being used with the device and determine if the NFC functionality of the set of wired headphones being used with the device has the serial number of the device stored in the NFC functionality.

  • Headphones restricted to use with a particular controlled-environment facility resident communication and/or media device
    Patent number: 11044545
    Abstract: In systems and methods that restrict a set of wireless headphones to use with a particular controlled-environment facility resident communication and/or media device, a controlled-environment facility resident communication and/or media device disposed within a controlled-environment facility wirelessly communicatively links a set of wireless headphones with the controlled-environment facility resident communication and/or media device. The controlled-environment facility resident communication and/or media device dedicates the set of wireless headphones to the controlled-environment facility resident communication and/or media device by restricting the set of wireless headphones to use with the controlled-environment facility resident communication and/or media device.
