Definitions

  • This invention relates to wireless communication apparatus more particularly but not exclusively for Bluetooth use.
  • Bluetooth for short range wireless communication with a variety of electronic devices.
  • One particular application of Bluetooth is with mobile telephones, with a Bluetooth encoder/transceiver being connected to the mobile telephone with a corresponding encoder/transceiver forming as part of a headset including a microphone and loudspeaker/earpiece and a separate power supply, to be worn on the head of a user. It is a disadvantage of this arrangement that the head piece is of a large size and relatively heavy and inconvenient, particularly if worn for a long period.
  • a wireless communication apparatus comprising a microphone and a loudspeaker connected to but spaced from a wireless transceiver, the transceiver being arranged to communicate with a corresponding transceiver connectable to apparatus with which a user wishing to communicate, the transceiver being arranged to be carried separately from the microphone and loudspeaker by the user.
  • a Bluetooth wireless communication device comprising a microphone and a loudspeaker connected to but spaced from a Bluetooth wireless transceiver, and the transceiver being arranged to be carried separately from the microphone and loudspeaker by a user.
  • the transceiver together with battery, are worn either as a pendant or clipped onto an article of clothing and are connected by a wire connection to the microphone and loudspeaker which are preferably encapsulated in a single earpiece-style unit.
  • the connection between the microphone and loudspeaker and the transceiver may furthermore take a variety of configurations. For example, this may be connected as part of a loop to be worn around the neck of the user and one side of the loop may be detachable leaving a single elongate connector to allow the transceiver to be popped into a breast or trouser pocket or clipped or otherwise secured to the user's clothing.
  • the embodiment of the invention reduces the weight and size of the components that need to be worn on the user's head thus making the apparatus more comfortable to wear than the prior art.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic view of circuitry of the embodiment of the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a front view of an embodiment of the invention
  • Figure 3 is a front view of the embodiment of Figure 2 in an alternative configuration
  • Figures 4a, b and c are front, side and underneath views of the transceiver of the embodiment of Figures 1 to 3;
  • Figure 5 is a three-dimensional view of a cable holder usable with the embodiment of Figures 1 to 3.
  • a schematic diagram of a Bluetooth wireless communication apparatus for use with a mobile telephone is illustrated.
  • This comprises an aerial 10 connected to a transceiver 12 which is in turn connected to an encoder 14 which is provided with a power supply in the form of a rechargeable battery 16, a user interface 18, a loudspeaker 20 and microphone 22.
  • the apparatus shown in Fig. 1 forms one half of a Bluetooth wireless link, the other half being connected to the mobile telephone (not shown).
  • the circuitry and mode of operation is known in the art and will not be further described.
  • the elements of the Bluetooth wireless communication apparatus are divided into two parts labelled 23 and 24 in Fig. 1.
  • the element 24 (microphone 22 and loudspeaker 20) are disposed in a unitary earpiece (although these may be separate) connected by a wire lead 26 to the remaining of the circuitry 23 which is in the form of a pendant 28.
  • the pendant 28 is physically connected to a loop 30 of sufficient size to pass over the head of the user and be worn around the neck.
  • the loop is preferably in the form of a sleeve and may be formed from any material for example fabric, leather, metal or rubber/plastics material.
  • the electrical lead 26 passes, through connector 32, portion 31 and connector 33 before passing into pendant 28.
  • the right hand side 34 of the loop 30 may be connected to connectors 32, 33 by a male/female press fit connection so as to be removable as shown in Fig. 3
  • the lead 26 may form portion 31 directly.
  • Pendant 28 is shown in a more detail in Figs. 4a - 4c and includes a power button 30 and volume control 32 which together provide the user interface 18, electrical contacts 34 to engage battery charging power connections in a cradle (not shown) and an optional clip 36, which may be detachable, to enable the pendant 28 to be clipped to an article of clothing should it be desired to use the pendant to the configuration shown in Fig. 3 rather than that shown in Fig. 2.
  • the loop portion 31 is also preferably provided with a cable holder in the form of a toggle 40 as shown in Fig. 3 and in more detail in Fig. 5.
  • the toggle includes a hole 42 for receiving loop portion 31 and a smaller hole 44 having a narrow entrance 46 for receiving wire portion 26.
  • the toggle 40 is provided to allow the length of loop portion 31 to be adjusted to the user's preference by forming a loop between connector 32 and part of lead 26, the loop size being adjustable depending on the position of hole 44 relative to lead 26, hole 44 being sufficiently small to hold cable 26 in frictionally tight engagement.
