Thus, the hearing device 10 can be functionally connected to the multimedia playback function of a mobile device or other electronic device in various ways.

Fig. 3 shows an embodiment of the operating structure of the heating device 10 according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the connection state with the mobile device M can be confirmed by the control unit 11 and can be set to enable short-range wireless communication. Then, multimedia sounds, a call signal, or a voice call from the mobile device 10 can be transmitted to the hearing device 10 through short-range wireless communication. Also, the ambient sound or conversation sound of the conversation partner may be input to the external input processing unit 12 and may be introduced to the hearing device 10 through, for example, an external microphone 23 or other appropriate means. The environmental sound can be pre-processed by the filter 321 and the condition unit 322 and then introduced into the hearing device 10. The condition unit 322 may have a function of determining a signal to be transmitted from an incoming environmental noise or a crosstalk and a signal to be canceled. Further, the condition unit 322 may have a function of setting the condition of the magnitude of the environment sound or whether or not it is changed. For example, repeated car noise or ambient noise can be eliminated. Condition unit 322 can have condition data for the signal to be removed and can determine the sound to be removed based on it. On the other hand, the sound belonging to the danger signal can be transformed into a signal that is most audible to the user or transformed into such a signal and transmitted. The filter unit 321 can filter the signal input to the external microphone 23 according to the condition set in the condition unit 322. [ And the filtered external sound may be transmitted to the operation detection unit 323. [ The operation detection unit 323 can detect the operating state of the hearing device 10 according to the type of the signal received from the mobile device M. [ For example, if the hearing device 10 is in a call mode in which a call is input from the mobile device M, the external inflow signal transmitted to the adaptive processor 15 can be limited accordingly. On the other hand, if the multimedia playback sound is in the playback mode, the external input signal transmitted to the adaptive processor 15 can be appropriately adjusted accordingly. For example, if the hearing device 10 is in a call mode, the conversation tone or environment tone may be limited unless it is particularly dangerous. In the case of the reproduction mode, conversation sounds can be introduced, but environment sounds can be appropriately adjusted according to the size.

A communication mode can be established when a communication start signal is received from the mobile device M or when a user initiates a call. A screen may be installed at a suitable position of the hearing device 10 to invoke a call list from the mobile device M or an input key may be provided to input a call number. Alternatively, the calling party's phone can be stored in the hearing device 10 and the communication signal can be transmitted to the corresponding number if the call is interrupted. In addition, the hearing device 10 may have a call suspend function. The operation of the hearing device 10 may be performed by a mobile device or an operating application installed in the hearing device 10. [

The call sound or the user's voice received in the call mode may be processed in the adaptive processor 15 and delivered to the earphone 22. The adaptive processing processor 15 may comprise an adaptive processing unit 34 for processing the incoming call signal to suit the user and a contact detection unit 35 for confirming the wearing state of the earphone 22.

The adaptation processing unit 34 can process the signals that are input to the adaptation processing unit 34 with reference to data related to the hearing ability of the individual stored in the individual hearing data unit 341. [ For example, the hearing data may be pre-created fitting data or fitting data generated by executing an application installed in the mobile device M. [ The user's hearing data may include such things as the user's tinnitus frequency band, the user's preferred hearing or frequency band. The adaptation processing unit 34 may process the external sound transmitted to the external input processing unit 12 as well as the playback sound according to the multimedia playback and the sound suitable for the user to listen to. As described above, the adaptation processing unit 34 may have a function of processing a call tone, an external tone, or a playback sound based on the personal hearing ability and the use environment so as to be suitable for the user.

The contact detection unit 35 may have a function of detecting the wearing state of the earphone 22. Each earphone 22 may be provided with a temperature sensor or a pressure sensor, and the detected information may be transmitted to the contact detection unit 35. [ And the wear state of each earphone 22 can be detected by the contact detection unit 35 and transmitted to the control unit 11. [ The control unit 11 can determine the transmission path of the telephone tone or the external sound according to the detection information of the contact detection unit 35. [ For example, if the earphone 22 is not worn, the communication sound or external sound is transmitted to another speaker and is not transmitted to the earphone 22. The wear state of each earphone 22 can be detected and accordingly, the transmission method for the earphone 22 of the call tone, playback sound, or external input sound can be appropriately set.

The hearing device 10 according to the present invention may have a variety of structures for providing an appropriate call condition to an individual, and may be operated in various ways.

Fig. 4 shows an embodiment of a calling method by the hearing device 10 according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, a method of wirelessly connecting with a mobile device having a communication function according to the present invention includes a step of detecting a call signal or transmitting a call start signal in a wireless communication device connected to the mobile device ); Detecting whether the wireless communication device is in an operating state (P42) and establishing a connection for a call (P43); Storing the pre-call operation state of the mobile device (P44): applying individual hearing supplemental data to a call sound transmitted to the mobile device or the earphone (P45); And a step P46 of detecting whether or not a break sound is input.

The wireless communication device may be the same as, but is not limited to, the hearing device 10 described above. The mobile device may be paired with the hearing device 10, and an application for the operation may be installed in the mobile device or the hearing device 10. The mobile device may have various functions and may have various multimedia playback functions such as music playback, video playback or language learning material playback. A communication signal can be received while the hearing device 10 is connected to the mobile device. Or the user may operate the hearing device 10 for communication. If a call signal is detected from the mobile device or a call start signal is generated from the wireless communication device (P41), whether or not the hearing device 10 is operated may be detected (P42). Whether or not the hearing device 10 is in operation refers to whether the multimedia playback sound is being received or in a conversation state, for example. If the hearing device 10 is in the operating mode (YES), the operating mode of the processor in progress can be set (P421). The setting of the operating mode means, for example, maintaining, stopping, or proceeding with the background processor while the current processor is operating. Such a mode setting method can be set in advance according to the type of processor currently being operated. For example, if the image is being reproduced, the mode may be set so that the image reproduction is stopped at the current position. On the other hand, if the music reproduction sound is being received, the volume of the reproduction sound can be reduced. If the mode is set according to the predetermined method (P421), a connection for the call function of the mobile device can be established (P43). If the hearing device 10 is not in operation (NO), a connection for the call can be established (P43). Such a connection setting can be executed by an operating application.

When the connection is established (P43), the operating state of the hearing device 10 can be stored (P44). Storing the operating state means storing the progress process of the hearing device before the call connection is made and storing the call related matters. Storing of call-related matters means such as call start time or call telephone number. When the operation is stored (P44), the call can be started. The reception sound of the mobile device can be transmitted to the hearing device 10 and the incoming call sound can be transmitted to the mobile device or the earphone through the hearing device 10. [ The external input sound may be influenced by the type of signal or the signal may be changed. Individual hearing data may be applied to all signals transmitted to the earphone 22 (P45). During the call, it is possible to detect the presence of a stopping sound (P46). The interruption sound may be input from an external microphone 23 installed separately from the call microphone 231 for the call, or from another mobile device or other electronic device connected to the hearing device. If the break sound is not input (NO), the call state can be maintained (P45). On the other hand, if an inflow of a stopping sound is detected (YES), the transfer priority can be determined (P47). Divert priority refers to whether to deliver a stop tone while maintaining the call state, or to temporarily stop the call state and deliver a stop tone. If the call status is temporarily stopped, the related message can be automatically set to be transmitted to the other party. And may be set to resume the call once the break condition is saved and the situation associated with the break beep is terminated. When the call is subsequently terminated, the stored operation processor P44 may be started.

The calling method according to the present invention can be performed by various processes, and the present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown.
