Definitions

  • the present invention relates to methods and devices for sending data in a hearing aid system.
  • the wireless communication of one hearing aid with another as well as with another communication interface meet special requirements such as: the very limited available transmission energy of one in the hearing aid located transceivers as well as through the frequently very ineffective antennas caused by spatial reasons.
  • the publication DE 195 44 546 a hearing aid with several analog inputs and an additional one known digital input.
  • microphone signals can be arranged spatially separated of stereo microphones quickly in a digital way and received and processed without interference.
  • a method for communicating a hearing aid described with external radio interfaces with the address data and / or channel data relating to several signal sources in a storage device can be stored.
  • the hearing aid wearer can use the address management system communication with a radio interface is very convenient automatically record top priority.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to create a communication system for hearing aids that their meets special requirements and in particular with regard to of energy consumption is optimized.
  • this object is achieved by a method for sending data in a hearing aid system by awarding a priority for a sending process and sending a data packet with a length depending on the given Priority.
  • a corresponding device for sending data for a Hearing aid system has an allocation device for awarding a priority for a transmission process, a provision device to provide data to be sent in one Data packet with a length depending on the assigned Priority and a transmitter for sending the provided Data.
  • a corresponding device for sending data for a Hearing aid system is characterized by a transmission device for sending data of a first priority, a receiving device for receiving second priority data and a control device which is connected to the transmission device and is connected to the receiving device for temporary cancellation of transmission by the transmission device if the second Priority is higher than the first priority.
  • the transmission signals are preferably transferred over a single transmission channel.
  • such a transmission system can have at least have two logical levels of communication, each different applications or transmission modalities can be assigned. According to the application these communication levels have different priorities of communication. Furthermore, more than two communication participants involved in the communication network be that not necessarily all about ongoing communication the other participants are informed. finds for example, data exchange between two hearing aids instead, a remote control can be used due to the limited range the hearing aids may not have information about a have ongoing communication. Now set one if necessary time critical application of a higher communication level respectively one in the communication system is not continuous integrated subscriber on request wireless signal to be transmitted, in the case of a momentary ongoing communication disrupted this and the data sent both the faulty connection and that of the application higher priority or the external source get lost. For the transmission system there is the Request that the data transfer higher priority must not be lost. Therefore, when communicating data packets of different lengths are used. The data packets higher priority prevail when the lower priorities Transfer requests are held as long as the Transmission channel is busy.
  • the transmission levels or communication partners different priorities use different types Data packets. Used for communication at the lowest level a basic data word DW is set, so these data records dispatched between the partners in the case of an undisturbed situation. Now an application / a participant of a higher priority enters communication should be interrupted and the necessary information is exchanged. To the higher priority application sends data packets for this purpose, which are significantly longer than that of the application lower priority. In the event of uncoordinated arrival of the The current communication is the first priority disturbed because the received communication participant the superimposition of the original and the new one Received signal. By the length of the transmission signal higher priority can, however, after completion Sending the low-priority connection part of the new transmission signal can be received undisturbed. Therefore preferably the transmission signal of the communication element higher Priority built up from a first and a second block, the second block being the complete one to be transferred Always contains information, even under extreme conditions received after transmission of the first block is completed can be.
  • the first part of the data packet either from at least one of the data words to be sent or consist of a series of preambles.
  • the transmission of absolute data has the advantage of transmission of the data word DW as the first part of the data packet in that, in the event of error-free transmission, the data can be recognized earlier.
  • a relative transfer Commands cannot occur twice in a data packet, since, for example, an increase in error-free transmission of a value would otherwise be performed twice.
  • sequences of preambles are sent ahead, these preambles do not contain any information, they merely indicate to the system that a data transmission will soon follow. All participants of lower priority are prevented from starting their own communication while receiving more important data or preambles. Even if the transmission of higher priority has ended, the transmission channel is kept clear for a certain amount of time before a transmission can again take place at a lower level.
  • the data packets have a minimum length of ⁇ (N + 1) DW ⁇ .
  • the priority increases with increasing number N. Assuming at most one communication within a priority level this way the most important communication can be undisturbed respectively. Own participants who have no information through which communications are in progress, a higher one Priority so they can put their data in the communication system contribute.
  • An embodiment according to the present invention leaves 1 by a WIRELESS system for hearing aid applications realize.
  • the system consists of two hearing aids HG1, HG2 and a remote control unit RCU that work together communicate wirelessly. Due to the limited transmission energy of the hearing aids HG1, HG2 are the transmission ranges limited.
  • the remote control RCU is not in communication of the two hearing aids.
  • the bottom one Level is the binaural comparison of the hearing aids 1, 2 regarding the signal processing algorithms. For example are the hearing programs to be used in adjusted both hearing aids 1, 2.
  • An application of higher priority is the operation of the manual Controls on the hearing aid by the hearing aid wearer.
  • other communication should be immediate interrupted and the binaural adjustment of the control element settings be performed.
  • the transfer of the setting values takes place with absolute values.
  • the RCU remote control is operated, the current one Communication in turn interrupted and the desired Remote control function implemented, since also the operation of the remote control RCU is given very high priority. Doing so often resorted to relative instruction sets, whereby the Data word is preceded by a series of preambles.
  • the corresponding data word only has to be sent simply because other communication participants of lower priority remain silent for at least a time T ack before further transmissions are initiated.
  • the operated device then sends a final synchronization command for binaural adjustment, which is answered by the other subscriber HG2 with an acknowledgment.
  • the settings e.g. B. volume control or program selection, which are made manually on the hearing aid HG1, can be transmitted wirelessly to the hearing aid HG2.
  • the confirmation time T ack can be different for the two hearing aids HG1 and HG2.
  • FIG. 3 shows a time signal scheme for the case of a automatic synchronization of signal processing.
  • First HG1 sends a data packet for comparison from.
  • the other one in the hearing aid system also transmits Hearing aid HG2 a synchronization data packet for comparison from.
  • the hearing aids are reciprocal transmits those setting values that the own signal processing due to the environmental conditions as optimal has determined.
  • a corresponding comparison takes place.
  • the binaural information for controlling Signal processing algorithms e.g. B. noise suppression, be used.
  • a transmission process sets the Remote control by the limited range of the Hearing aid communication no knowledge of ongoing communication processes first, it transmits a sequence of preambles in a first part before the real one User data word follows in a second part of the data packet.
  • the two parts are again an initialization preamble, not shown prefixed. Because the hearing aids immediately the data packets are to react to the remote control give the remote control a very high priority, what by the great length of the first of the remote control sent data packet is implemented. After this high priority The hearing aids HG1 and HG2 are also a message here predetermined time prevented from sending. Meanwhile, you can from the remote control without further short data packets, for example for volume adjustment and program selection, are transmitted to the hearing aids. Following this at The transmission pause forced on the hearing aids is again compared between the hearing aids as related to FIG 2 has already been described. This comparison ensures that both hearing aids HG1 and HG2 also the commands from the remote control.
  • the hearing aid HG1 sends a customary synchronization data packet to compare the signal processing.
  • the manual operation on the hearing device 2 starts while the synchronization data packet is being sent, so that the hearing device HG2 sends an extended data packet in order to abort the synchronization process.
  • the transmission of the setting values through manual operation on the HG2 hearing aid thus gains top priority.
  • the data word transmitted at the end of the data packet can thus be easily received by the hearing device 1.
  • T ack there is again a confirmation or synchronization process in which the data word containing the setting value of the manual operation is sent again by the hearing device 2 and then acknowledged by the hearing device 1.
  • the synchronization process for signal processing then takes place as shown in FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 6 shows a case in which the synchronization signal processing through manual operation is interrupted.
  • the manual one Operation on the hearing aid HG1 takes place and is behind the time HG1 hearing aid synchronization data packet.
  • the one through the Manual operation desired setting value is also made here Priority reasons transferred twice. Because manual operation or the relevant transfer of the desired Setting value only after the synchronization data packet the HG2 hearing aid starts with its own Reply to synchronization data packet.
  • transmission processes overlap so that also the second data word for transmitting the setting value the manual operation sent by the HG1 hearing aid is partially overlaid by the transmission process of the hearing aid HG2 becomes. Both data words can be from the hearing aid HG2 cannot be received correctly.
  • the hearing aid HG2 is now the Possibility to receive the data packet completely.
  • the hearing aid HG2 acknowledges this reception accordingly.
  • There the synchronization of the signal processing is not here either could be carried out after the comparison of the Hearing aid parameters take place in the usual way.
