Automated left-right headphone earpiece identifier

摘要

Methods and systems of automatically identifying left-right earpieces may provide for determining an orientation of a device, and determining an earpiece orientation of a headset relative to the orientation of the device. Additionally, an audio output of the device may be configured based on the earpiece orientation. In one example, the earpiece orientation indicates whether the earpiece is facing either left or right with respect to the device.

主权项

1. A device comprising:
a host sensor; a left-right channel switch associated with an audio output; a headset interface coupled to the left-right channel switch; and an identifier module to,
determine an orientation of the device based on a signal from the host sensor,determine a first earpiece orientation of a headset relative to the orientation of the device based on a signal from a peripheral sensor embedded in a first earpiece of the headset, wherein the first earpiece orientation is to indicate whether the first earpiece is facing either left or right with respect to the device,determine a second earpiece orientation of the headset relative to the device based on a signal from a peripheral sensor embedded in a second earpiece of the headset, wherein the second earpiece orientation is to indicate whether the second earpiece is facing either left or right with respect to the device; andcontrol the left-right channel switch based on the first earpiece orientation and the second earpiece orientation.
