Wireless headset systems and methods for activating application programs on processor-based host
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a headset base configured to communicate with a processor-based host executing a headset integrator application;
a wireless headset in wireless communication with the headset base, the wireless headset being configured to transmit audio signals between the headset and headset integrator application executed by the host via the headset base; and
a program activation mechanism provided by at least one of the wireless headset and headset base, the program activation mechanism being configured to, upon activation of the mechanism, automatically activate a target application program on the processor-based host via the headset base and the headset integrator application.

Abstract
Wireless audio headset systems and methods for automatically activating target application programs on an attached processor-based host are disclosed. The system generally includes a headset base to communicate with the host executing a headset integrator application, a wireless headset in wireless communication with the headset base and configured to transmit audio signals to and from the headset integrator application via the headset base, and a program activation mechanism provided by the wireless headset that, upon activation of the mechanism, activates a target application program on the processor-based host via the headset base and the headset integrator application.

13. A method, comprising:
-
transmitting a message containing a key code from a wireless headset to a headset base in wireless communication with the wireless headset, the key code corresponding to a program activation mechanism provided by the wireless headset upon activation of the program activation mechanism, the wireless headset and the headset base being a headset system;
mapping the message to data upon receiving the message by the headset base;
transmitting the data from the headset base to a headset integrator application executing on a processor-based host; and
activating a target application program corresponding to the program activation mechanism on the processor-based host by the headset integrator application, in response to receiving the data from the headset base. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
