Abstract

A wireless earphone with a built-in mobile communications module and a dial-up method of the same are proposed. The mobile communications module is used to automatically answer an incoming call. A wireless electronic dial-up device is used for dial-up communications. The wireless earphone comprises a mobile communications module, a digital signal processor, an earphone, a microphone and a wireless communications module. The mobile communications module is used to receive a first remote signal and emit a first reply modulation signal. The digital signal processor is connected to the mobile communications module and used for processing digital signals. The earphone is connected to the digital signal processor. The microphone is connected to the digital signal processor. The wireless communications module is also connected to the digital signal processor, and is used to receive a second remote signal and emit a second reply modulation signal.

Claims

1. A wireless earphone with a built-in mobile communications module, comprising:

a mobile communications module used to receive a first remote signal and emit a first reply modulation signal;

a digital signal processor connected to said mobile communications module and used for processing digital signals;

an earphone connected to said digital signal processor;

a microphone connected to said digital signal processor; and

a wireless communications module also connected to said digital signal processor and used to receive a second remote signal and emit a second reply modulation signal.

2. The wireless earphone with a built-in mobile communications module as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first remote signal is generated by a station.

3. The wireless earphone with a built-in mobile communications module as claimed in claim 1, wherein said second remote signal is generated by a wireless electronic dial-up device.

4. The wireless earphone with a built-in mobile communications module as claimed in claim 3, wherein said wireless electronic dial-up device can be a Bluetooth mobile phone.

5. The wireless earphone with a built-in mobile communications module as claimed in claim 3, wherein said wireless electronic dial-up device can be a personal digital assistant.

6. The wireless earphone with a built-in mobile communications module as claimed in claim 1, wherein said mobile communications module can be a personal handyphone system module.

7. The wireless earphone with a built-in mobile communications module as claimed in claim 1, wherein said mobile communications module can be a code division multiple access module.

8. The wireless earphone with a built-in mobile communications module as claimed in claim 1, wherein said digital signal processor comprises a voice transmission and encoding/decoding unit for encoding and decoding of voice and conversion between digital data and analog data.

9. The wireless earphone with a built-in mobile communications module as claimed in claim 1, wherein said wireless communications module is a Bluetooth communications module.

10. A dial-up method of a wireless earphone with a built-in mobile communications module comprising the steps of:

using a wireless electronic dial-up device to send digital data;

receiving said digital data and then generating a digital signal using a built-in wireless communications module;

using a digital signal processor to process said digital signal and then outputting a control signal; and

controlling said mobile communications module to accomplish full-duplex communications.
