Abstract

An earphone jack signal line includes a conductive wire which has a first connector on one end and a second connector on other end. The first connector is inserted into an earphone jack of a mobile phone. The second connector is connected to a handsfree. The signal line includes at least an earphone circuit and a mike circuit, and a call detection unit to activate operation of the handsfree. The earphone jack signal line thus formed can improve compatibility and reduce production cost.

Claims

1. An earphone jack signal line comprising a conductive wire which has a first connector on one end and a second connector on other end, and at least an earphone circuit and a mike circuit, and a call detection unit, wherein:

the first connector is connected to an earphone jack of a mobile phone to get output sound of the mobile phone;

the second connector is connected to a handsfree;

the call detection unit includes a wave detection circuit to detect electromagnetic signals while the mobile phone is in use for conversation to determinate conversation conditions of the mobile phone and activate operation of the handsfree;

the earphone circuit is to transmit a caller'"'"'s sound; and

the mike circuit is to transmit user'"'"'s sound.

2. The earphone jack signal line of claim 1, wherein the call detection unit further includes an integration circuit to integrate sound signals output by the mobile phone and function cooperatively with the wave detection circuit to determine calling signals and activate operation of the handsfree.

3. The earphone jack signal line of claim 1, wherein the first connector is coupled with a branch connector which has a first coupler on one end to receive the first connector and a second coupler on another end corresponding to the earphone jack of the mobile phone to receive signals.

4. The earphone jack signal line of claim 1, wherein the call detection unit is located in the first connector.

5. The earphone jack signal line of claim 1, wherein the call detection unit is located in the second connector.

6. The earphone jack signal line of claim 1, wherein the call detection unit is located on the conductive wire between the first connector and the second connector.
