CONTROLLING POWER FOR A HEADSET
First Claim
1. A method for controlling power in a headset, comprising:
- monitoring a predetermined proximity of the headset, wherein the predetermined proximity includes an area within which a user is positioned during operation of the headset;
determining whether a detectable object is within the predetermined proximity of the headset based on a characteristic property of the detectable object, wherein the characteristic property of the detectable object is one of a black body emitting property or a conducting property;
placing the headset into an active state when it is determined that the detectable object is within the predetermined proximity; and
placing the headset into a standby state when it is determined that the detectable object is not within the predetermined proximity

Abstract
A headset device includes a component to monitor a predetermined proximity of the headset device. The predetermined proximity includes an area where a user of the headset is positioned during operation of the headset. The headset device includes a processor to execute instructions to monitor the predetermined proximity of the headset. The processor is also to determine whether a detectable object is within the predetermined proximity of the headset based on a characteristic property of the detectable object. The characteristic property of the detectable object is one of a black body emitting property or a conducting property. Additionally, the processor is to place the headset into an active state when it is determined that the detectable object is within the predetermined proximity, and place the headset into a standby state when it is determined that the detectable object is not within the predetermined proximity.
