HYBRID ANALOG/DIGITAL HEADSET
First Claim
1. A device comprising:
- a detector configured to receive an indication from a terminal of a connector and to generate a control signal if the indication is present;
one or more first switches configured to connect one or more speaker transducers to the connector if the indication is not present; and
one or more second switches configured to connect the one or more speaker transducers to a processor if the indication is present.

Abstract
A device comprising a detector configured to receive an indication from a terminal of a connector and to determine whether the indication matches an expected result. One or more first switches are configured to connect one or more speaker transducers to the connector if the indication is false. One or more second switches are configured to connect the one or more speaker transducers to a digital output converter if the indication is true. The device can also include one or more third switches configured to connect one or more microphone elements to the connector if the indication is false, and one or more fourth switches configured to connect one or more microphones to a digital input converter if the indication is true. The input and output converters can be stand alone or part of a digital signal processor.

20. A device comprising:
-
a detector configured to receive an indication from a terminal of a connector and to generate a control signal if the indication is present; one or more first switches configured to connect one or more speaker transducers to the connector if the indication is not present; one or more second switches configured to connect the one or more speaker transducers to a processor if the indication is present; one or more third switches configured to connect the processor to the connector if the indication is present; one or more fourth switches configured to connect one or more microphones to the connector if the indication is not present; one or more fifth switches configured to connect the one or more microphones to the processor if the indication is present; one or more sixth switches configured to connect the processor to the connector if the indication is present; and wherein the detector is configured to generate the control signal to cause the one or more first switches for connecting the one or more speaker transducers to the connector to change state, the detector is configured to generate the control signal to cause the one or more second switches for connecting the one or more speaker transducers to the processor to change state, the detector is configured to generate the control signal to cause the one or more third switches for connecting the processor to the connector to change state, the one or more first switches are normally closed, the one or more second switches are normally open, the one or more third switches are normally open, the one or more fourth switches are normally closed, the one or more fifth switches are normally open and the one or more sixth switches are normally open.
