System and method for coordinating data transmission via user-maintained modes

摘要

A method and apparatus for controlling data transmission via user-maintained modes is provided. A first audio data stream is recorded on a transmitting electronic apparatus. A second audio data stream is stored on the transmitting electronic apparatus. Transmission of one of the first and the second audio data streams is controlled via a first user-maintained mode when at least the other of the first and the second audio data streams is being transmitted to the electronic apparatus. The one of the first and the second audio data streams is transmitted to a receiving electronic apparatus and the other of the first and the second audio data streams is suspended.

主权项

1. A transmitting electronic apparatus for communicating data streams with a receiving electronic apparatus, the transmitting electronic apparatus comprising:
a speaker for playing one or more of an audio data stream received from a receiving electronic apparatus and an audio data stream transmitted to the receiving electronic apparatus; a microphone for recording a first audio data stream; a memory for storing a second audio data stream; a first user-maintained mode for controlling transmission of one of the first and the second audio data streams to the receiving electronic apparatus when at least the other of the first and the second audio data streams is being transmitted to the receiving electronic apparatus; wherein the one of the first and the second audio data streams is transmitted to the receiving electronic apparatus and transmission of the other of the first and the second audio data streams is suspended; wherein the first user-maintained mode is activated as long as a user operating the electronic apparatus maintains an eye gaze on a target to cause an eye gaze monitor to maintain an active state.
