UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS-TO-BLUETOOTH AUDIO BRIDGING DEVICES

摘要

This disclosure describes a system (100, 130) for a USB to Bluetooth audio bridging method and apparatus. The system includes a host device (102) having a first universal serial bus (USB) interface (107) and a second USB interface (110); an adaptor (108) in connection with the first USB interface (107) which is compatible to operate based on a Bluetooth-type communication protocol; a peripheral device (106) coupled to the second USB interface (110); and a mobile communication device (104) linked to the host device (102) via the adaptor (108). The mobile communication device (104) communicates an audio data signal to the adaptor (108) and an audio bridging device (116). The audio bridging device (116) maps the second USB interface (110) to the adaptor (108) and routes audio data signals alone or in combination with another audio data signals to the peripheral device (106) via the second USB interface (110).

主权项

1. A system for USB to Bluetooth audio bridging, comprising:
a host device comprising a first universal serial bus (USB) interface and a second USB interface, wherein said host device is configured to execute a first software application generating a first audio data signal via a virtual audio device; an adaptor coupled to said first USB interface, wherein said adaptor is compatible to operate based on a Bluetooth-type communication protocol; a peripheral device coupled to said second USB interface; a mobile communication device linked to said host device via said adaptor, wherein said mobile communication device is configured to communicate a second audio data signal to said adaptor over a wireless network; and an audio bridging device in communication with said host device, wherein said audio bridging device is configured to map said second USB interface to at least one of said adaptor and said virtual audio device, wherein said audio bridging device is configured to route one or more of said first audio data signal and said second audio data signal, to said peripheral device via said second USB interface.
