1. A headset system comprising:
- a headset comprising at least one microphone and at least one speaker and configured to transmit and receive sound;
a wire system coupled to the headset and comprising a wire; and
a control unit coupled to the wire system and configured to;
receive from the wire a combined signal comprising a first signal and a second signal,determine that the first signal is a spurious signal; and
determine a first peak value from the first signal;
determine a second peak value from the second signal;
perform a comparison of the first peak value and the second peak value; and
detect a failure of the wire system based on the comparison.

Abstract
A headset system comprises: a headset comprising at least one microphone and at least one speaker and configured to transmit and receive sound; a wire system coupled to the headset and comprising a wire; and a control unit coupled to the wire system and configured to: receive from the wire a combined signal comprising a first signal and a second signal, determine that the first signal is a spurious signal, and detect a failure of the wire system based on the determining.

11. A headset system comprising:
-
a headset comprising; a first outer microphone, a first inner microphone, and a first speaker; a wire system coupled to the headset and comprising; a first power supply wire configured to provide power to the headset, a first outer microphone wire configured to provide communication to and from the first outer microphone, a first inner microphone wire configured to provide communication to and from the first inner microphone, and a first speaker wire configured to provide communication to and from the first speaker; and a control unit coupled to the wire system and configured to detect for a failure in the first power supply wire, the first outer microphone wire, the first inner microphone wire, and the first speaker wire, wherein the control unit is further configured to; receive a first signal from the first outer microphone; receive a second signal from the first inner microphone; determine a first peak value from the first signal; determine a second peak value from the second signal; perform a comparison of the first peak value and the second peak value; and further detect for the failure based on the comparison. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method implemented in a headset system, the method comprising:
-
receiving environmental sound from an outside environment; receiving spoken sound from a human voice present in front of an ear drum; converting the environmental sound to a first electrical signal; converting the spoken sound to a second electrical signal; processing the first electrical signal and the second electrical signal; determining whether the first electrical signal, the second electrical signal, or a combination of the first electrical signal and the second electrical signal is mixed with a spurious signal; and receiving the first electrical signal from a first outer microphone in the headset system; receiving the second electrical signal from a first inner microphone in the headset system; determining a first peak value from the first electrical signal; determining a second peak value from the second electrical signal; performing a comparison of the first peak value and the second peak value; and detecting for the spurious signal based on the comparison. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
