Abstract

A wireless earphone structure includes a housing, a wireless transceiver module mounted in the housing for receiving music or a phone call generated by a mobile communication device, a fixed earphone mounted on a surface of the housing for playing the music or the phone call, and a phone call switch slidably disposed on the surface of the housing. When the phone call switch is not pushed, the wireless transceiver module will receive the music and transmit it to the fixed earphone. When the phone call switch is pushed, the wireless transceiver module will receive the phone call and transmit it to the fixed earphone. Therefore, a user can use the phone call switch to select and listen to the music or the phone call.

Claims

1. A wireless earphone structure, comprising:

a housing;

a wireless transceiver module mounted in the housing for receiving music or a phone call transmitted by a mobile communication device;

a fixed earphone mounted on a surface of the housing adjacent to an end thereof for playing the music or the phone call; and

a phone call switch slidably disposed on the surface of the housing adjacent to the other end thereof, wherein when the phone call switch is pushed outward in relation to the other end of the housing, the wireless transceiver module receives the phone call.

2. The wireless earphone structure of claim 1, further comprising a voice processing module, wherein the voice processing module is electrically connected to the wireless transceiver module for executing an analog conversion process to process the music or the phone call.

3. The wireless earphone structure of claim 2, further comprising an extended earphone inserted in a recess on a backside of the housing and adjacent to the end, wherein the extended earphone comprises:

a speaker mounted in an end of the extended earphone opposite to the recess for playing the music processed by the analog conversion process; and

an extended cable having a first end electrically connected to the speaker and a second end extended out of the other end of the extended earphone and penetrated into the housing through an opening formed on the backside of the housing for being electrically connected to the voice processing module.

4. The wireless earphone structure of claim 3, wherein the recess is provided with a press switch, when the extended earphone is drawn out of the recess, the press switch is released from a biased state biased by the extended earphone, and then outputs a first control signal to the wireless transceiver module, so that the wireless transceiver module receives the music.

5. The wireless earphone structure of claim 4, further comprising a first sensor and a second sensor respectively formed between the phone call switch and the housing, wherein the first sensor is provided on a surface of the phone call switch facing the housing, and the second sensor is provided on a corresponding surface of the housing and adjacent to the other end thereof, when the phone call switch slides toward the other end of the housing, the first sensor is aligned with the second sensor, so that the second sensor outputs a second control signal to the wireless transceiver module for allowing the wireless transceiver module to receive the phone call.

6. The wireless earphone structure of claim 5, further comprising a winding module in the housing, wherein a portion between two ends of the extended cable is wound on the winding module in the housing.

7. The wireless earphone structure of claim 5, wherein the fixed earphone further comprises:

a speaker mounted in an end of the fixed earphone opposite to the housing for playing the music processed by the analog conversion process; and

a voice cable having a first end electrically connected to the speaker and a second end electrically connected to the voice processing module.

8. The wireless earphone structure of claim 5, wherein the phone call switch further comprises:

a microphone mounted on a side edge of the phone call switch for receiving an exterior voice which is transmitted to the voice processing module for being processed and converted into a voice signal; and

a transmission cable having a first end electrically connected to the microphone and a second end electrically connected to the voice processing module.
