A sonic ranging method for a mobile phone and a wireless earphone. Firstly, the mobile phone performs an acoustic response test on the wireless earphone. The mobile phone generates a first audio sequence at a first time slot. The wireless earphone recognizes the first audio sequence to generate a second audio sequence. When the mobile phone recognizes the second audio sequence, the mobile phone estimates a length of elapsed time according to the time difference between a current time slot and the first time slot. When the mobile phone obtains the length of elapsed time, a distance between the wireless earphone and the mobile phone may be determined according to a delay compensation parameter and the length of elapsed time. Various potential applications can be implemented based on the invention without the needs for additional hardware circuits in the mobile phone.

A hand gesture control system to be operated via hand gestures to receive a call from a mobile phone includes: a casing; a control unit installed inside the casing; a hand gesture recognition unit installed inside the casing, including an image capturing module and a hand gesture recognition module, wherein the image capturing module captures an image of a hand gesture of a user and transmits to the gesture recognition module for comparison, which feeds back an operation instruction to the control unit corresponding to the comparison; a wireless transmission unit communicates with the mobile phone via a wireless communication protocol for establishing communication between the mobile phone and the control unit; a microphone disposed at an exterior of the casing in order to receive a user's voice; and a loudspeaker disposed at an exterior of the casing in order to output the user's voice from the microphone.

In this application, by using a method for collaborative recording by using a mobile terminal and the true wireless stereo earbud, recording with more complete data amount can be collected, and cooperative noise reduction is performed on a recording signal collected by the mobile terminal and a recording signal collected by the true wireless stereo earbud, so that accuracy and integrity of a human voice signal obtained through separation are higher. Further, in this application, when the true wireless stereo earbud performs recoding in a mode of single-earbud recording, a data amount of the true wireless stereo earbud is relatively small. Therefore, when the mobile terminal receives, through Bluetooth, data sent by the true wireless stereo earbud, excessive occupation of Bluetooth bandwidth of the mobile terminal is avoided, and power consumption of a mobile phone is reduced.

An operating system for wearable buttons comprises a master button that comprises an air interface for receiving executable instructions according to a user changeable dashboard. One or more slave buttons are configured to communicate with the master button, wherein the one or more executable instructions are configured to execute on a processor of the master button according to a user's actuation of the master button or the slave button according to the changeable dashboard.

A method for identifying a second device by a first device for establishing a communication between the first device and the second device is described here. The method includes receiving, by a processor of a first device, a voice command from a worker in a workplace. In an example, the method comprises pausing, by the processor, a workflow operation executing on the first device. The method further comprises performing, by the processor, a voice recognition to analyze the voice command of the worker. The method includes activating, by the processor, a communication module of the first device based on the voice recognition, to identify a second device in proximity to the first device. The method includes terminating, by the processor, a connection between the first device and the wearable electronic device. Thus, terminating, by the processor, a second connection of the first device with the second device.

A volume-based earbud switching method is applied to a wearable device. The wearable device includes: a first earbud and a second earbud; The method includes: obtaining a first volume of the first earbud and a second volume of a second earbud; calculating a first power consumption speed of the first earbud and a second power consumption speed of the second earbud; and determining an earbud switching policy between the first earbud and the second earbud according to the first and the second power consumption speeds; and sending an earbud switching command to an electronic device connected with the wearable device according to the earbud switching policy, wherein the earbud switching command is used to direct the electronic device to execute switching between the first earbud and the second earbud.

An audio communication system is disclosed. The audio communication system comprises a speaker device having at least one speaker, a first wireless communication unit and a first connector part; a dongle having control functionality, a second wireless communication unit, and a second connector part, the dangle being configured to operate in a first mode being an audio communication system pairing mode and in a second mode being an audio communication system operating mode. The second connector part is in the audio communication system pairing mode configured to interconnect with the first connector part to enable pairing of the dongle and the speaker device. The second connector part is the audio communication system operating mode configured to interconnect with an external device, providing wireless communication between the speaker device and the external device.

A headset adapter and a headset system for voice communication comprising a headset and a headset adapter as well as a method of enabling microphone transmission to a host device are provided. The headset comprises at least one earphone having a headset speaker, a headset microphone and a headset transceiver, the headset adapter being configured to interconnect the headset and a host device, the headset adapter comprising an adapter processor, a host interface, such as a host interface interconnecting the adapter processor and the host device, an adapter transceiver configured to establish a wireless communication link with the headset. The adapter furthermore comprises a controller configured to enable and disable the headset microphone. The adapter processor is configured to receive a request for headset microphone activation or microphone deactivation, for example from the host interface, and in response to receiving the request providing a control signal to the controller to enable or disable the headset microphone. The controller may thus activate the transceiver to configure the wireless communication link with the headset.

Wearable audio accessories for computing devices are described. In one embodiment the wearable audio accessory provides a speech based interface between the user and a nearby computing device for the performance of user-initiated or computing device initiated microtasks. Information is provided to the user via a loudspeaker and the user can provide input via a microphone. An audio sensing channel within the accessory continuously monitors the audio signal as detected by the microphone and in various embodiments will trigger more complex audio processing based on this monitoring. A wireless communication link is provided between the accessory and the nearby computing device. To mitigate any delay caused by the switching between audio processing techniques, the audio accessory may include a rolling buffer which continuously stores the audio signal and outputs a delayed audio signal to the audio processing engines.
