Wireless headset systems and methods for activating application programs on processor-based host

摘要

Wireless audio headset systems and methods for automatically activating target application programs on an attached processor-based host are disclosed. The system generally includes a headset base to communicate with the host executing a headset integrator application, a wireless headset in wireless communication with the headset base and configured to transmit audio signals to and from the headset integrator application via the headset base, and a program activation mechanism provided by the wireless headset that, upon activation of the mechanism, activates a target application program on the processor-based host via the headset base and the headset integrator application.

主权项

1. A system, comprising:
a headset base configured to communicate with a processor-based host executing a headset integrator application; a wireless headset in wireless communication with the headset base, the wireless headset being configured to transmit audio signals between the headset and headset integrator application executed by the host via the headset base; and a program activation mechanism provided by the wireless headset comprising a plurality of program activation buttons on the wireless headset, each program activation button mapped to a corresponding target application program and configured to, upon depression, automatically activate its corresponding associated target application program on the processor-based host via the headset base and the headset integrator application by transmitting a message containing a key code corresponding to the program activation mechanism to the headset base, the headset base being further configured to decode the message containing the key code to generate program activation data and to transmit the program activation data to the headset integrator application executing on the processor-based host.
