Case for multiple earpiece pairs
View Patent ↗A system includes a plurality of earpiece sets, each of the earpiece sets comprising a left earpiece and a right earpiece and a smart case. The smart case includes a case housing, a plurality of receptacle sets disposed within the case housing, wherein the receptacle sets are configured to hold the plurality of earpiece sets, a processor disposed within the case housing, and a transceiver disposed within the housing and operatively connected to the processor.
1. A system comprising:
a plurality of earpiece sets, each of the earpiece sets comprising a left earpiece and a right earpiece; and
a smart case comprising:
a case housing;
a display operatively connected to the case housing;
a plurality of receptacle sets disposed within the case housing, wherein the receptacle sets are configured to hold the plurality of earpiece sets;
a processor disposed within the case housing, wherein the processor is configured to synchronize with a processor disposed within an earpiece within the plurality of earpieces sets and transfer files between the smart case and the earpiece, wherein a file of the files transferred between the smart case and the earpiece is used for reconfiguring an operation of the earpiece;
a microphone operatively connected to the processor; and
a transceiver disposed within the housing and operatively connected to the processor.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein the display is an e-ink display.
3. The system of claim 1 wherein the smart case further comprises a power interface.
4. The system of claim 3 further comprising a battery disposed within the case housing and operatively connected to the power interface.
5. The system of claim 1 wherein the smart case further comprises a speaker operatively connected to the processor and wherein the processor provides for receiving audio wirelessly from an earpiece and transducing the audio at the speaker.
6. The system of claim 1 wherein the smart case further comprises a speaker operatively connected to the processor and wherein the processor provides for receiving audio from an earpiece positioned within one of the receptacle sets and transducing the audio at the speaker.
7. A smart case for a plurality of sets of wireless earpieces, the smart case comprising:
a case housing;
a plurality of ear piece receptacles disposed within the case housing, wherein the ear piece receptacles are configured to hold earpiece within the plurality of sets of wireless earpieces;
a plurality of earpiece interfaces to connect with each of the earpieces within the earpiece sets when the earpieces are within receptacles
a display operatively connected to the case housing;
a processor disposed within the case housing; and
a transceiver disposed within the housing and operatively connected to the processor;
wherein the processor is configured to communicate with the earpieces when the earpieces are positioned within the ear piece receptacles and connected with the earpiece interfaces;
wherein the processor is configured to synchronize data between one or more of the earpieces and the smart case;
wherein the processor is further configured to transfer a file between one or more of the earpieces for reconfiguring an earpiece operation, and
wherein the processor is configured to wirelessly communicate when the earpieces are not connected with the earpiece interfaces using the transceiver.
8. The smart case of claim 7 wherein the data comprises audio files.
9. The smart case of claim 7 further comprising a rechargeable battery disposed within the smart case.
10. The smart case of claim 9 further comprising a power interface operatively connected to the rechargeable battery for charging the rechargeable battery.
11. The smart case of claim 7 further comprising a microphone operatively connected to the processor.
