WIRELESS HEADSET SWITCHING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a mobile communications device;
a wireless headset including a speaker and a microphone; and
a switching unit comprising, separate from and detachably coupled to the mobile communication device through a cabled connection, the switching unit comprising;
a mobile communications device interface for transmitting signals to and receiving signals from the mobile communications device;
a wireless adapter for transmitting signals to and receiving signals from the wireless headset; and
a detection circuit coupled to the wireless adapter, the detection circuit provides a first output signal to the wireless adapter upon detection of a triggering event, the first output signal causes the wireless adapter to enter into an active audio channel mode, and the detection circuit provides a second output signal to the wireless adapter when no triggering event is detected, the second output signal causes the wireless adapter to enter into a standby mode.

Abstract
A wireless headset system including a switching unit having a detection circuit coupled to a wireless adapter. The detection circuit provides a first output signal to the wireless adapter upon detection of a triggering event, such as activation of a manual switch or detection of voltage of an audio output signal from a mobile communications device. The first output signal causes the wireless adapter to enter into an active audio channel mode. The detection circuit also provides a second output signal to the wireless adapter when no triggering event is detected, and the second output signal causes the wireless adapter to enter into a standby mode. Placing at least the wireless adapter in a standby mode saves battery life of the system.
