1. A control system comprising:
- an earphone or headset for reproduction of audio signals which includes;
a sensor device for detecting head movement information;
a transmitting device for transmitting the detected movement information;
a processing device for evaluating the movement information from the transmitting unit and for outputting at least one control command dependent on the evaluation, wherein the processing device is adapted to recognize a movement pattern from the movement information and to output at least one control command dependent on the recognized movement pattern; and
an activation unit for activating or deactivating the sensor device and/or the transmitting device for preventing the unintentional output of control commands,wherein a triggering of a control command is affected directly by an angular speed detected by the sensor device,wherein a corresponding control command is outputted if the magnitude of the angular speed exceeds a triggering comparison value, andwherein a renewed generation of the corresponding command is suppressed if the magnitude of the angular speed is continuously above a cancellation comparison value.

Abstract
There is provided a control system (1) comprising an earphone (2) and a processing device (3). The control system (1) has a processing device (3) for the evaluation of head movement information and/or head position information. In that case the processing device is adapted to output at least one control signal dependent on the evaluation, wherein the earphone has a sensor device (9a, 9b, 9c) for detecting the movement information and/or position information and a transmitting device (10) for transmitting the movement information and/or the position information to the processing device.

11. A method of controlling a reproduction of audio signals in an earphone or headset, the method comprising:
-
detecting head movement information with a sensor device on an earphone or headset; evaluating the movement information with a processing unit for recognizing a movement pattern from the movement information; outputting at least one control command dependent on the recognized movement pattern; and activating or deactivating the sensor device to prevent the output of control commands by error, wherein a triggering of a command is affected directly by an angular speed detected by the sensor device, wherein a corresponding control command is outputted if the magnitude of the angular speed exceeds a triggering comparison value, and wherein a renewed generation of the corresponding command is suppressed if the magnitude of the angular speed is continuously above a cancellation comparison value. - View Dependent Claims (12)
