Magnetic earphones holder
One or more earbuds comprise one or more external connectors for removably coupling the earbuds with an additional article. The one or more earbuds are additionally able to comprise magnets for removably coupling with each other. In some embodiment, the one or more earbuds are configured to removably couple with a base unit. Based on a coupling and decoupling of the one or more earbuds with the base unit, a signal is sent to control a remotely located electronic device.
1. A system for securing one or more wireless earbuds, the system comprising:
a. one or more wireless earbuds, each earbud comprising:
i. an earbud magnet;
ii. an earbud engagement detector; and
iii. an electronic device controller; and
b. a base unit comprising a docking base magnet for removably coupling with the earbud magnet to secure the one or more wireless earbuds, wherein the earbud engagement detector is configured to detect a coupling of the earbud magnet with the docking base magnet and the electronic device controller is configured to operate an electronic device based on the coupling and the decoupling of the earbud magnet and the docking base magnet, wherein the electronic device controller sends a signal to transfer playing audio from one or more speakers of the electronic device to the one or more earbuds when the one or more earbuds are decoupled from the base unit, and wherein the base unit comprises a case for the one or more earbuds.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the base unit is configured to charge the one or more wireless earbuds when coupled with the docking base.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the base unit comprises a form fitting opening for receiving the one or more earbuds.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more earbuds are configured to power on when decoupled from the base unit.
5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the one or more earbuds are configured to automatically connect to the electronic device when decoupled from the base unit.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the electronic device controller sends a signal to the electronic device to answer a telephone call when the one or more earbuds are decoupled from the base unit.
7. A method of securing one or more wireless earbuds, the method comprising:
a. decoupling one or more earbuds from a base unit, wherein the base unit comprises a magnet for removably coupling with an earbud magnet to secure the one or more wireless earbuds, wherein the base unit comprises a case for the one or more earbuds; and
b. based on the decoupling of the one or more earbuds from the base unit, operating an electronic device, wherein playing audio is transferred from one or more speakers of the electronic device to the one or more earbuds when the one or more earbuds are decoupled from the base unit.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the base unit is configured to charge the one or more wireless earbuds when coupled with the docking base.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the base unit comprises a form fitting opening for receiving the one or more earbuds.
10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the one or more earbuds are configured to power on when decoupled from the base unit.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the one or more earbuds are configured to automatically connect to the electronic device when decoupled from the base unit.
12. The method of claim 7 , wherein an electronic device controller sends a signal to the electronic device to answer a telephone call when the one or more earbuds are decoupled from the base unit.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the electronic device controller sends a signal to stop receiving audio from the electronic device when the one or more earbuds are recoupled with the base unit.
