Method for operating a hearing device system, hearing device system, hearing device and database system
First Claim
1. A method for operating a hearing device system having a hearing device and a database system being separate from the hearing device and set up for communication with the hearing device, which comprises the steps of:
- ascertaining a piece of location information for a current position of the hearing device;
transmitting the location information to the database system;
ascertaining via the database system if an electronic device that is separate from the hearing device is situated at a prescribed physical distance from the hearing device;
creating for the hearing device a parameter set that contains a number of parameters for signal processing of audible signals in the hearing device if the database system detects a presence of the electronic device within the prescribed physical distance;
transmitting via the database system the parameter set created to the hearing device; and
using the parameter set transmitted by the database system in the hearing device for the signal processing.

Abstract
A method operates a hearing device system that contains a hearing device and a database system, which is separate from the hearing device and is set up for communication with the hearing device. The method includes ascertaining a piece of location information for a current position of the hearing device and the location information is transmitted to the database. The database then ascertains whether an electronic device that is separate from the hearing device is situated at a prescribed physical distance from the hearing device. The presence of the separate electronic device within the prescribed physical distance is taken as a basis by the database system for creating for the hearing device a parameter set that contains a number of parameters pertaining to the signal processing of audible signals in the hearing device. This parameter set is used by the hearing device for the purpose of signal processing.

9. A hearing device system, comprising:
-
a database system; at least one hearing device set up to ascertain a piece of location information for a current position of said hearing device and to transmit the location information to said database system; said database system being set up to ascertain whether an electronic device that is separate from said hearing device is situated at a prescribed physical distance from said hearing device, and to take a presence of the electronic device within the prescribed physical distance as a basis for creating for said hearing device a parameter set that contains parameters pertaining to signal processing of audible signals in said hearing device and to transmit the parameter set created to said hearing device; and said hearing device being set up to use the parameter set transmitted by said database system for the signal processing.

10. A hearing device for a hearing device system having a database system, the hearing device comprising:
-
the hearing device being set up to communicate with the database system of the hearing device system; the hearing device being set up to ascertain a piece of location information for a current location of the hearing device and to transmit the location information to the database system; the database system set up to ascertain whether an electronic device that is separate from the hearing device is situated at a prescribed physical distance from the hearing device, and to take a presence of the electronic device within the prescribed physical distance as a basis for creating for the hearing device a parameter set that contains parameters pertaining to signal processing of audible signals in the hearing device and to transmit the parameter set created to the hearing device; and the hearing device being set up to use the parameter set transmitted by the database system for the signal processing.

11. A database system for a hearing device system having a hearing device, the database system comprising:
-
a database set up to communicate with the hearing device of the hearing device system; the hearing device is set up to ascertain a piece of location information for a current position of the hearing device and to transmit the location information to said database; said database set up to ascertain whether an electronic device that is separate from the hearing device is situated at a prescribed physical distance from the hearing device, and to take a presence of the electronic device within the prescribed physical distance as a basis for creating for the hearing device a parameter set that contains parameters pertaining to signal processing of audible signals in the hearing device and to transmit the parameter set created to the hearing device; and the hearing device is set up to use the parameter set transmitted by the database system for the signal processing.
