First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus comprising:
- an earphone that is to be coupled to a host;
a pressure transducer within the earphone; and
a signaling mechanism coupled to the pressure transducer, the signaling mechanism to send to the host a repositioning detection signal representing a pressure change detected by the pressure transducer, the pressure change responsive to repositioning of the earphone.

Abstract
A system detects the repositioning of an earphone that is worn by a user, and changes an operation mode of a host coupled to the earphone. Within the earphone is a pressure transducer that detects a pressure change caused by the repositioning of the earphone. A signaling mechanism sends a repositioning detection signal to the host in response to a signal from the pressure transducer indicating the detection of the pressure change.
