20130129110 | Headphone System for Activating a Control Module - A system for remotely controlling an audio device or the audio emitted by a pair of headphones/earbuds through the coupling of coupling devices (with each other and/or with a coupling base), which may be part of the headphones/earbuds, respectively. The coupling of the headphones may effectively create a switch, which is connected to the input of a remote control module. The remote control module may send a specific signal to the audio device through a pin on the headphone plug (which may be received by a headphone jack on the device though a multi-pin cable interface). This signal may be determined by a control module activated via the completion of a circuit through the temporary coupling of the two earbuds/headphones. The audio device, to which the plug is connected via a headphone jack, may perform various actions based on the signal emitted via a pin on the headphone ring. | 05-23-2013 |
