Audio delivery system and method for mobile phone

1. An audio delivery method for a short range wireless communication network including a master device and a plurality of slave devices, comprising the steps of:

selecting, at the master device, one of the slave devices as a primary slave device;

assigning a master control comprising at least one of an audio data playback control for controlling playback of the audio data and a call control of the master device for controlling a call connection with another telephony device to the primary slave device;

establishing a communication channel between the master and the slave devices;

delivering audio data to the slave devices through the communication channel;

receiving an audio data change request signal from the primary slave device;

changing the audio data to another audio data; and

transmitting the changed audio data to each of the plurality of slave devices;

wherein the step of establishing a communication channel between the master and the slave devices comprises the steps of:

establishing a synchronous connection oriented link and an asynchronous connectionless link between the master device and the primary slave device; and

establishing asynchronous connectionless links between the master device and slave devices except the primary slave device.

2. The audio delivery method of claim 1 , wherein the step of selecting a primary slave device comprises the steps of:

transmitting a pairing request to each of the slave devices;

receiving a pairing response from the slave devices; and

selecting the slave device from which the pairing response is first received.

3. The audio delivery method of claim 1 , further comprising the steps of:

receiving a call connection request from another telephony device;

pausing the delivery of the audio data to the slave devices;

handing over the call control to the primary slave device; and

restarting the delivery of the audio data to the slave devices after releasing the call connection.

4. The audio delivery method of claim 1 , wherein the asynchronous connectionless link is used for transmitting the audio data from the master device to the slave devices and transmitting audio data playback control signals from the primary slave device to the master device.

5. The audio delivery method of claim 1 , wherein the synchronous connection oriented link is used for transmitting call control signals from the primary slave device to the master device.

6. The audio delivery method of claim 1 , wherein the audio data is transmitted from the master device to the slave devices according to a frequency hopping pattern.

7. An audio delivery system comprising:

a plurality of slave devices for receiving identical audio data and outputting the audio data as audible sound waves comprising a primary slave device; and

a master device for:

selecting one of the plurality of slave devices as the primary slave device;

assigning a master control comprising at least one of an audio data playback control for controlling playback of the audio data and a call control for controlling a call connection with another telephony device to the primary slave device;

establishing a synchronous connection oriented link and an asynchronous connectionless link between the master device and the primary slave device;

establishing asynchronous connectionless links between the master device and slave devices except the primary slave device;

delivering the audio data to the slave devices through the communication channels;

receiving an audio data change request signal from the primary slave device;

changing the audio data to another audio data; and

transmitting the changed audio data to each of the plurality of slave devices.

8. The audio delivery system of claim 7 , wherein the master device comprises:

a short range wireless communication module for establishing the communication channel to the slave devices;

a memory for storing the audio data;

a keypad for generating key input signal for transmitting the audio data;

a radio frequency unit for processing cellular communication signals to and from another wireless telephony device; and

a controller for controlling operations among the short range wireless communication module, the memory, the keypad, and the radio frequency unit, forming a short range wireless communication network with the slave devices, and handing out a control of the master device to one of the slave devices.

9. The audio delivery system of claim 7 , wherein each slave device comprises:

a short range wireless communication module for establishing the communication channel with the master device;

an audio processing unit for processing the audio data received from the master device to output as audible sound wave;

a keypad for generating audio playback control signal; and

a controller for controlling operation among the short range wireless communication module, the audio processing unit, and the keypad, and controlling playback of the audio data.

10. The audio delivery system of claim 7 , wherein, responsive to a call connection request is received from another telephony device, the controller pauses the delivery of the audio data, and hands over the call control to the primary slave device.

11. The audio delivery system of claim 7 , wherein the asynchronous connectionless link is used for transmitting the audio data from the master device to the slave devices and transmitting audio data playback control signals from the primary slave device to the master device.

12. The audio delivery system of claim 7 , wherein the synchronous connection oriented link is used for transmitting call control signals from the primary slave device to the master device.

13. The method as recited in claim 6 , wherein the hopping pattern is determined by combining a sum of a master device clock and a predetermined offset and a master device address.

14. The system of claim 10 wherein the controller restarts the delivery of the audio data after releasing the call connection.

15. The audio delivery method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of slave devices comprise a plurality of headsets, and wherein a volume level of audio data shared through multiple wireless headsets is adjusted at an individual headset.

16. The system of claim 7 , wherein the plurality of slave devices comprise a plurality of headsets, and wherein a volume level of audio data shared through multiple wireless headsets is adjusted at an individual headset.
