1. A system for automated state changes in a device coupled to a headphone device, comprising:
- a processor;
means for detecting if at least one earpiece of the headphone device is in an activated or deactivated state; and
a control module configured for determining a device state change based on the activated or deactivated state of each of the at least one earpiece.

Abstract
A system and method for automatically changing a state of a device coupled to a headphone device is provided. The system comprises a means for detecting if at least one earpiece of the headphone device is activated or deactivated. Based on an activation state or a change in an activation state of the at least one earpiece, a state change may occur in the device. The state change is determined by a preset of a control module.
