  • 2. Description of Related Art
  • As video/audio multimedia technology develops rapidly, the technologies and types of video/audio players (such as televisions, stereos, multimedia players and computer multimedia centers, etc) advance and grow accordingly, and their designs support various different video/audio formats and additional functions to provide better visual and auditory effects.
  • In general, people turn up the volume of a video/audio playing apparatus to enjoy the lifelike blast sound and create a nuisance to neighbors. To improve the situation, some users use a cable earphone to enjoy the auditory effect. Although this method can avoid disturbing others, users are limited by the connection of the cable, and the application give tremendous inconvenience to the user's activity.
  • Due to the development of wireless transmission technologies, all kinds of wireless transmission technology related products are introduced to the market, and some users adopt a Bluetooth wireless headset that operates with a Bluetooth transceiver to solve the aforementioned problem. However, in practical applications, users have to connect a Bluetooth transceiver to the video/audio playing apparatus first and then connect the Bluetooth wireless headset for the application. Obviously, related implementation, installation, and storage for such application are inconvenient.
  • Since output paths of the sound source of the wireless headset and the video/audio playing apparatus are independent to each other, users have to mute the video/audio playing apparatus before listening to the wireless headset in order to prevent affecting the auditory effect of the wireless headset. All of the aforementioned inconvenient factors discourage consumers to purchase the optional wireless headset and wireless transceiver.

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
  • The present invention integrates a wireless audio signal transmission module and a video/audio playing apparatus, so that the video/audio playing apparatus not only can output the audio signal from the original speaker, but also can output the audio signal from the wireless headset connected via a wireless connection. In addition, different output paths can be switched by a simple connection of the wireless headset, so that users can easily switch the output path without changing their original using habits. In practical applications, the wireless audio signal transmission module of the invention is designed by a specification of a Bluetooth technology, a far infrared technology or a radio frequency (RF) technology.
  • Referring to Fig. 1 for a block diagram of a video/audio playing apparatus with a wireless audio signal transmission function in accordance with a first preferred embodiment of the present invention, the video/audio playing apparatus 1 comprises: a wireless audio signal transmission module 11, an audio processing module 12, a system audio interface 13 and a headset place slot 14. The wireless audio signal transmission module 11 of this embodiment is designed with a built-in video/audio playing apparatus 1.
  • The headset place slot 14 is provided for containing and electrically connecting a wireless headset 8 and generating an electric potential signal. The audio processing module 12 refers to a processing module for processing and playing an audio signal in a video/audio playing apparatus 1, and outputting the processed audio signal. The system audio interface 13 can be designed as a slot connected to a sound source for connecting the video/audio playing apparatus 1 to a speaker 9 to output the audio signal.
  • The wireless audio signal transmission module 11 is connected to the audio processing module 12 and the headset place slot 14, and further comprises: an audio signal switching unit 111, a control unit 112, a connecting interface 113, a power supply circuit 114, an antenna module 115 and a memory unit 116. The control unit 112 is connected to the antenna module 115 for connecting the wireless headset 8 via a wireless connection, and the connecting interface 113 is provided for connecting the headset place slot 14 to transmit the electric potential signal to the audio switching unit 111. Further, the audio signal switching unit 111 is connected to the control unit 112 and the system audio interface 13 for receiving the audio signal, and switching an output path of the audio signal according to the electric potential signal. In other words, the audio signal switching unit 111 switches the output path according to the electric potential signal, and outputs the audio signal from the wireless headset 8 through the control unit 112, or outputs the audio signal from the speaker 9 through the system audio interface 13.
  • It is noteworthy to point out that the electric potential signal transmitted from the headset place slot 14 is produced according to the condition whether or not the wireless headset 8 is placed into the headset place slot 14 in the actual application. For example, the actual design of the wireless headset 8 usually comes with an independent power supply (which is in a high potential), so that if the wireless headset 8 is placed into the headset place slot 14 (whose connection is not shown in the figure), then it means that the wireless headset 8 is not being used by users, and thus the headset place slot 14 can transmit a high electric potential signal provided by the wireless headset 8 to audio signal switching unit 111 through the contact with the independent power supply of the wireless headset 8 to switch the connection of the audio signal switching unit 111 to the system audio interface 13, and output the audio signal from the speaker 9.
  • On the other hand, if the wireless headset 8 is not placed into the headset place slot 14, then it means that the wireless headset 8 is being used, and thus the headset place slot 14 just transmits a low electric potential signal to the audio signal switching unit 111, such that the audio signal switching unit 111 sends the audio signal to the control unit 112 to output from the wireless headset 8. In actual design, the low electric potential signal is achieved by a pull low resistor circuit to prevent an unstable low electric potential signal caused by signal interferences.
  • Further, the power supply circuit 114 receives power supplied by video/audio playing apparatus 1 to produce electric power and connects to the connecting interface 113, such that if wireless headset 8 is placed into the headset place slot 14, the electric power is supplied to the wireless headset 8. In addition to the design of having an independent power supply, the wireless headset 8 further includes a charging circuit (not shown in the figure) for charging a headset battery (not shown in the figure) in the wireless headset 8 after receiving the power. Finally, the wireless audio signal transmission module 11 includes a memory unit 116 such as a firmware for accesses during the operation of the control unit 112.
  • Referring to Fig. 2 for a block diagram of a video/audio playing apparatus with a wireless audio signal transmission function in accordance with a second preferred embodiment of the present invention, the principle of operation of this embodiment is substantially the same as the first preferred embodiment, and the major difference resides on the hardware of the video/audio playing apparatus. In this embodiment, the wireless audio signal transmission module 21 is connected to the exterior of a main body 20 of the video/audio playing apparatus.
  • The main body 20 of the video/audio playing apparatus comprises an audio processing module 22 and a system audio interface 23 (such as a sound source slot).

  • To further describe the principle of operation of the present invention, we provide Fig. 3 to illustrate the circuit of an audio signal switching unit in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, wherein the audio signal switching unit includes two controllers U1 and U2 for processing the left and right channels of a sound source respectively.
  • The connector CON1 is provided for receiving and transmitting an audio signal (which is a signal source) outputted by a sound source processing module. The connector CON2 is provided for receiving an electric potential signal transmitted by the connecting interface. The connector CON3 is one of the output paths of the audio signal for connecting the control unit, and the connector CON4 is another output path of the audio signal for connecting the speaker by the sound source interface. Therefore, the controllers U1, U2 switch different output paths by the electric potential signal transmitted from the connector CON2.
  • When a user is using the wireless headset, the user removes the wireless headset from the headset place slot, and thus the electric potential signal received by the connector CON2 is a low electric potential signal. As to the circuit design, a resistor R2 can be grounded to assure that the controllers U1, U2 can receive the low electric potential signal. Therefore, the controllers U1, U2 will switch the connection for transmitting the audio signal received by the connector CON1 to the connector CON3 and the control unit, so that the user can hear the audio signal from the wireless headset.
  • When the user is not using the wireless headset, the user places the wireless headset at the headset place slot, and thus the connector CON2 will receive a high electric potential signal provided by the wireless headset. Therefore, the controllers U1, U2 will switch the connection for transmitting the audio signal received by the connector CON1 to the connector CON4 and the sound source interface, so that the audio signal cannot outputted from the speaker connected to the sound source interface.
  • Of course, the persons skilled in the art can understand the use of each connector as described in the aforementioned circuit diagram, and the description above is provided for the purpose of illustrating the invention, but the actual design may adopt by direct circuit layout or any equivalent method.
  • Referring to Figs. 4A and 4B for schematic views of applications of a video/audio playing apparatus with a wireless audio signal transmission function in accordance with the present invention, the video/audio playing apparatus 1 is a television in this embodiment, and the wireless audio signal transmission module 11 is built in the television.
  • In. Fig. 4A, if a user wants to use the wireless headset 8 and removes the wireless headset 8 from the headset place slot 14, the audio signal played by the video/audio playing apparatus 1 is outputted from the wireless headset 8, and the speaker 9 connected to the video/audio playing apparatus 1 will stop outputting any sound. If the Bluetooth wireless transmission technology is adopted in the design, if the user is listening to a sound of an audio signal played by the video/audio playing apparatus 1 through a Bluetooth headset, the Bluetooth headset will switch to a Bluetooth connection to connect other Bluetooth devices (such as a mobile phone). If other Bluetooth devices finish their use, the application will be switched back to the video/audio playing apparatus 1 for a continual listening to the sound corresponding to the audio signal.
  • In Fig. 4B, if the user places the wireless headset 8 back to the headset place slot 14, the sound corresponding to the audio signal played by the video/audio playing apparatus 1 will be switched automatically to the speaker 9 for the output. Now, the wireless headset 8 will stop operating.
  • In summation of the description above, the present invention makes use of a simple reduced circuit design to integrate the wireless audio signal transmission module and the video/audio playing apparatus, so that the video/audio playing apparatus has the wireless audio signal transmission function for transmitting signals to the wireless headset via a wireless transmission. The video/audio playing apparatus can switch different output paths of the audio signal directly according to the connection and application condition of the wireless headset. In addition to the wireless audio signal transmission function, the video/audio playing apparatus also allows users to switch the output path of the video/audio playing apparatus by selectively placing the wireless headset into the headset place slot without requiring a change of the user's original using habit.
  • Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood that the invention is not limited to the details thereof. Various substitutions and modifications have been suggested in the foregoing description, and others will occur to those of ordinary skill in the art. Therefore, all such substitutions and modifications are intended to be embraced within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
