Earphone system with operability improved and terminal equipment system with the earphone system
First Claim
1. An earphone system comprising:
- a remote control unit for transmitting a control signal; and
an earphone section provided apart from said remote control unit and operatively connected to an external apparatus and said remote control unit, and wherein said earphone section comprises;
a connector to be operatively connected to said external apparatus;
an earphone speaker section for outputting an audio output from an audio output signal;
a microphone for inputting an audio input to produce an audio input signal;
a remote control signal processing section for receiving the control signal from said remote control unit; and
a remote control modulating and demodulating section connected to said earphone section via a first cord and connected to said connector via a second cord, for passing said audio input signal supplied from said microphone to said external apparatus via said connector and said audio output signal supplied from said external apparatus via said connector to said earphone speaker section, and for modulating said control signal supplied from said remote control signal processing section to send to said external apparatus.

Abstract
An earphone system includes a remote control unit for transmitting a first control signal, and an earphone section operatively connected to a terminal equipment and said remote control unit. The earphone section includes a connector to be operatively connected to the terminal equipment, an earphone speaker section for outputting an audio output from an audio output signal, and a microphone for inputting an audio input to produce an audio input signal. A remote control signal processing section receives the control signal from the remote control unit. A remote control modulating and demodulating section is connected to the earphone section via a first cord and is connected to the connector via a second cord. The remote control modulating and demodulating section passes the audio input signal to the terminal equipment via the connector and the audio output signal from the terminal equipment via the connector to the earphone speaker section. Also, the remote control modulating and demodulating section modulates the control signal supplied from the remote control signal processing section to send to the terminal equipment.
