Abstract

A Bluetooth headset includes a case, a circuit board, a speaker, a USB plug, a memory slot, an actuating structure, and a movable lid. The case is a hollow structure. A containing space in the case is accessible to an opening of the case. The circuit board is installed in the containing space. The speaker is installed on the case and electrically connected to the circuit board. Both the USB plug and the memory slot are electrically connected to the circuit board. The actuating structure is disposed on the case for driving the circuit board to selectively move the USB plug and the memory slot toward or away from the opening of the case. The movable lid is disposed at a side of the opening of the case in a rotatable manner.

Claims (27)

1. A Bluetooth headset with a retractable structure, the Bluetooth headset comprising:

a case, which is a hollow structure, having an opening and a containing space, the opening being accessible to the containing space;

a circuit board installed in the containing space;

a speaker installed on the case and electrically connected to the circuit board;

a USB (Universal Serial Bus) plug electrically connected to the circuit board;

a memory slot electrically connected to the circuit board;

an actuating structure disposed on the case for driving the circuit board to selectively move the USB plug and the memory slot toward or away from the opening of the case; and

a movable lid disposed at a side of the opening of the case in a rotatable manner.

2. The Bluetooth headset of claim 1 , wherein a guide slot is formed on the case, the actuating structure has a push button, the push button is disposed in the guide slot in a movable manner, the USB plug protrudes from the opening and the memory plug is positioned at the opening when the push button is moved to an end of the guide slot close to the opening along the guide slot to drive the circuit board toward the opening, and both the USB plug and the memory plug are contained in the case when the push button is moved to an end of the guide slot away from the opening along the guide slot to drive the circuit board away from the opening.

3. The Bluetooth headset of claim 2 , wherein the guide slot is a narrow slot, and the push button is a protruding button structure.

4. The Bluetooth headset of claim 1 further comprising:

a determining device for determining whether the USB plug is electrically connected to a computer and the memory slot is electrically connected to a storage device.

5. The Bluetooth headset of claim 4 further comprising:

a USB control unit electrically connected to the USB plug and the determining device, the determining device utilizing the USB control unit to control power and data transmission of the USB plug when the determining device determines that the USB plug is electrically connected to the computer through the USB control unit; and

a memory control unit electrically connected to the memory slot, the determining device, and the USB control unit, the determining device utilizing the memory control unit to control data transmission of the memory slot when the determining device determines that the memory slot is electrically connected to the storage device through the memory control unit.

6. The Bluetooth headset of claim 5 further comprising:

a rechargeable battery electrically connected to the USB control unit, the determining device utilizing the USB control unit to control the USB plug to transmit power transmitted from the computer to the rechargeable battery when the determining device determines that the USB plug is electrically connected to the computer through the USB control unit.

7. The Bluetooth headset of claim 5 further comprising:

a memory unit electrically connected to the memory control unit, the determining device utilizing the memory control unit to control the memory slot to perform data transmission between the memory unit and the storage device when the determining device determines that the memory slot is electrically connected to the storage device through the memory control unit.

8. The Bluetooth headset of claim 7 , wherein the determining device utilizes the USB control unit and the memory control unit to perform data transmission between the memory unit and the computer through the USB plug when the determining device determines that the USB plug is electrically connected to the computer.

9. The Bluetooth headset of claim 5 , wherein the determining device utilizes the USB control unit and the memory control unit to perform data transmission between the computer and the storage device through the memory slot and the USB plug when the determining device determines that the memory slot is electrically connected to the storage device and the USB plug is electrically connected to the computer.

10. The Bluetooth headset of claim 1 further comprising:

a volume adjusting device disposed at a side of the case, the volume adjusting device used for adjusting output power of the speaker.

11. The Bluetooth headset of claim 1 further comprising:

a power control device disposed on the case, the power control device used for switching on or switching off the Bluetooth headset.

12. The Bluetooth headset of claim 1 , wherein the actuating structure is connected to a side of the circuit board.

13. The Bluetooth headset of claim 1 , wherein the actuating structure is connected to a side of the USB plug.
