Abstract

A setting system of a wireless headphone includes a wireless headphone having a speaker and configured to be worn on an ear, and a wireless terminal and is wirelessly connectable to the wireless headphone. The wireless headphone is configured to register data indicating a correspondence relationship between wireless terminal information on the wireless terminal wirelessly connected to the wireless headphone and sound data capable of specifying the wireless terminal. The wireless terminal sets the sound data audibly outputted by the wireless headphone when the wireless terminal is wirelessly connected to the wireless headphone, and transmits the identification information to the wireless headphone. The wireless headphone registers data indicating a correspondence relationship between the wireless terminal information and the identifiable sound data based on the identification information.

Claims (23)

1. A setting system of a wireless headphone, the setting system comprising:

a wireless headphone having a speaker and configured to be worn on an ear of a user; and

a wireless terminal that is configured to be carried by the user and is wirelessly connectable to the wireless headphone, wherein

the wireless headphone includes a memory, and is configured to register, in the memory, data indicating a correspondence relationship between wireless terminal information on the wireless terminal wirelessly connected to the wireless headphone and sound data capable of specifying the wireless terminal,

the wireless terminal sets, based on an operation of the user, the sound data audibly outputted by the wireless headphone by using identification information of the sound data when the wireless terminal is wirelessly connected to the wireless headphone, and transmits the identification information for identifying the set sound data to the wireless headphone,

the wireless headphone registers, in the memory, data indicating a correspondence relationship between the wireless terminal information and the sound data identified by the identification information transmitted from the wireless terminal, and

the wireless headphone receives, from the wireless terminal, the wireless terminal information in case a wireless connection between the wireless terminal and the wireless headphone is completed, and audibly outputs, from the speaker, the sound data identified by the identification information and corresponding to the received wireless terminal information.

2. The setting system according to claim 1 , wherein the sound data capable of specifying the wireless terminal is sound data of a name of the wireless terminal.

3. The setting system according to claim 1 , wherein

the sound data capable of specifying the wireless terminal is sound data recorded in advance for pronouncing a name capable of specifying a terminal type of the wireless terminal.

4. The setting system according to claim 1 , wherein

the wireless headphone is wirelessly connectable to a plurality of wireless terminals respectively, and

the sound data capable of specifying the wireless terminal is a beep sound having a different tone color for each of the plurality of wireless terminals or sound data having a different melody for each of the plurality of wireless terminals.

5. The setting system according to claim 1 , wherein

the wireless headphone is wirelessly connectable to a plurality of wireless terminals respectively, and registers, for the wireless terminal information on each of the plurality of wireless terminals, the sound data set by the wireless terminal.

6. The setting system according to claim 1 , wherein

the wireless terminal includes a display, displays a wireless terminal information list capable of specifying a plurality of wireless terminals including the wireless terminal to which the wireless headphone is wirelessly connected in a past time, and sets, for each of the plurality of wireless terminals selected from the wireless terminal information list by an operation of the user, the sound data audibly outputted by the wireless headphone when the wireless terminal is wirelessly connected to the wireless headphone.

7. A setting method of a wireless headphone having a speaker and configured to be worn on an ear of a user, and the wireless headphone being wirelessly connectable to a wireless terminal carried by the user, the setting method comprising:

setting, by the wireless terminal and based on an operation of the user, sound data capable of specifying the wireless terminal, the sound data being audibly outputted by the wireless headphone when the wireless headphone is wirelessly connected to the wireless terminal;

transmitting, by the wireless terminal, identification information for identifying the set sound data to the wireless headphone from the wireless terminal;

registering, in a memory of the wireless headphone, data indicating a correspondence relationship between wireless terminal information on the wireless terminal and the sound data identified by the identification information transmitted from the wireless terminal;

receiving, by the wireless headphone, the wireless terminal information from the wireless terminal in case a wireless connection between the wireless terminal and the wireless headphone is completed; and

audibly outputting, from the speaker of the wireless headphone, the sound data identified by the identification information and corresponding to the received wireless terminal information.
