The headset system is adapted to transfer a call from the first telecommunication device to the second telecommunication device, when the first wireless link or a second radio link between the first telecommunication device and the second telecommunication device is broken or becomes sufficiently weak. The invention also relates to a method and a headset to be used with such a system.
Description
- The invention relates to a wireless headset system comprising
-
- a first telecommunication device,
- a second telecommunication device, such as a mobile phone or a smart phone,
- a wireless headset adapted to be wirelessly connected by a first radio link to the first telecommunication device.
- The invention also relates to a headset to be used in such a system.
- Today, many people all over the world use several different telecommunication devices such as PSTN desktop phones, IP desktop phones, PC softphones and mobile phones etc. Especially mobile phones and IP telephony (IP desk phones and PC softphones) have become popular the recent years. Mobile phones are advantageous as the user can move around while having a conversation with other call participants. PSTN and IP telephony is advantageous as it often provides telephony at low rates and good audio quality. When a user is in a call on the PSTN or IP telephone and must leave his desk, maybe for driving home or to a meeting, he must end the call, and continue it on the mobile phone. This is cumbersome and time consuming. He may be able to transfer the call, but this requires manual interaction. In addition, the situation, where a user is arriving at his desk while having a phone call on his mobile phone, he may wish to transfer the call to the PSTN or IP desk phone or PC softphone, which also requires manual interaction.
- US 2011/0207447 (Plantronics Inc) discloses a headset system according to the preamble, which system makes it possible for a user to seamlessly transfer a call from a first telecommunication device to a second telecommunication device by entering a call transition mode of the headset.
- The object of the invention is to provide a headset system with an improved way of transferring telephone calls from a first telecommunication device to a second telecommunication device. The headset system according to the invention is characterized in that it is adapted to transfer a call from the first telecommunication device to the second telecommunication device, when the first wireless link or a second radio link between the first telecommunication device and the second telecommunication device is broken or becomes sufficiently weak. For example: if a user is using the wireless headset for a telephone call on a PC softphone as the first telecommunication device and leaves the desk, the first radio link will become weaker with the distance between the headset and the PC. When the signal strength of the link falls below a predetermined threshold, and/or for a predetermined period of time, so that a short interruption may not cause a disconnect, the PC softphone automatically transfers the call to the second telecommunication device, which may be a mobile phone in the user's pocket. Then the user may continue the conversation on the second telecommunication device. Alternatively, a second radio link between the first and second telecommunication devices may be utilized for initiating the call transfer. For example: certain loss in the radio link quality between the PC and the mobile phone may initiate a call transfer from the PC softphone to the mobile phone.
- The headset system may also be adapted to transfer a call from the second telecommunication device to the first telecommunication device, when the first wireless link or a second radio link between the first telecommunication device and the second telecommunication device is established or obtains a predetermined strength. Thus, a user may approach his desk while having a call on his mobile phone using a Bluetooth headset and when the link between the mobile phone and the PC is established and sufficiently strong, the call may be transferred from the mobile phone to the PC. Alternatively, the call may be transferred when a Bluetooth link between the mobile phone and the PC is established and has obtained a predetermined strength. The signal strength may be based on RSSI (received signal strength indication) or BER (bit error rate). It may, of course, be desirable to choose a relatively high-predetermined strength, so that the call transfer will not take place before the user is actually arrived at his desk.
- According to a preferred embodiment, a third radio link is established between the headset and the second telecommunication device when a call is transferred from the first telecommunication device to the second telecommunication device. Thus, the user may continue the conversation via the headset.
- The first telecommunication device may comprise a personal computer, such as a desktop computer, a laptop computer or a tablet computer, on which a softphone is installed.
- A softphone plug-in for performing a call transfer to a pre-programmed number of the second telecommunication device may be installed on the personal computer, eventually using a software API (application programming interface) on the personal computer.
- According to an embodiment of the headset system, the first telecommunication device may comprise a headset base with a transceiver for establishing the first radio link. Thus, the first telecommunication device may comprise a personal computer and a headset base, which may be interconnected by a cable. The transceivers of the headset and the headset base may be DECT transceivers.
- The headset base may be adapted to automatically initiate a call transfer from the first telecommunication device to the second telecommunication device when the first radio link is broken or becomes sufficiently weak.
- The headset base may be adapted to automatically initiate a call transfer from the second telecommunication device to the first telecommunication device, when the when the first link is established and has a predetermined strength.
- Alternatively, the headset base may be adapted to establish a second radio link between the headset base and the second telecommunication device and automatically initiate a call transfer from the first telecommunication device to the second telecommunication device, when the second radio link is broken or becomes sufficiently weak, i.e. falls below a predetermined level, such as zero.
- The headset base may be adapted to automatically initiate a call transfer from the second telecommunication device to the first telecommunication device, when the second radio link is established and has a predetermined strength.
- The headset base may be adapted to automatically initiate a call transfer from the second telecommunication device to the first telecommunication device, when the first radio link is established and has a predetermined strength.
- The headset itself may be adapted to perform a call transfer from the second telecommunication device to the first telecommunication device, when the first wireless link is established or obtains a predetermined strength. Thus, the necessary software for terminating a call with a call participant on the second telecommunication device and connect a call with the call participant on the first telecommunication device, is provided in the headset memory.
- The first radio link may be established, when a call is transferred from the second telecommunication device to the first telecommunication device.
- The invention also relates to a wireless headset adapted to be paired and wirelessly connected with both a first telecommunication device and a second telecommunication device, wherein the headset may be adapted to, during an active call on the second telecommunication device, automatically initiate a call transfer from the second telecommunication device to the first telecommunication device upon establishment of a wireless link of a predetermined strength between the headset and the first telecommunication device.

FIG. 2 is a schematic view of a second embodiment of a headset system according to the invention, -
FIG. 3 discloses a schematic view of a third embodiment of a headset system according to the invention, -
FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing the use of a headset system according to the invention, and -
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a headset system according to the invention. -
FIG. 1 is a schematic view of aheadset system 1 according to the invention. Theheadset system 1 comprises awireless headset 2, afirst telecommunication device 3 consisting of alaptop computer 4 and a second telecommunication device consisting of asmart phone 6. Theheadset 2 is a monaural headset comprising anear hook 11 and afoldable microphone arm 12. Theheadset 2 and thelaptop computer 4 are wirelessly connected by a Bluetoothlink 7. Thelaptop computer 4 may have a built-in Bluetooth transceiver or a Bluetooth dongle may be inserted to a USB port of thelaptop computer 4. Theheadset 2 and thesmart phone 6 are wirelessly connected by a Bluetoothlink 9. Theheadset 2 is a so-called “multiuse” Bluetooth headset, which means that it can be simultaneously connected to at least two devices, in this situation thelaptop computer 4 and thesmart phone 6. Theheadset system 1 can be utilized by the following scenarios: -
Scenario 1—The user is leaving his desk during a softphone call: - The user is sitting at his desk with the
smart phone 6 lying on in his pocket. He makes a call on the softphone (on the laptop computer 4) using hisheadset 2. During the call, he realizes that he must leave the office for a meeting in another building. He leaves the office while talking. After 10-20 meters walking, theBluetooth connection 7 between theheadset 2 and thelaptop computer 4 is broken due to the distance. A software plugin installed on thelaptop computer 3 “knows” the number of thesmart phone 6 and initiates a call transfer to thesmart phone 6 as soon as theBluetooth link 7 is broken. A voice message, such as “please wait for reconnection” is sent to the other call participant. Theheadset 2 is connected to thesmart phone 6 by theBluetooth link 9 and is notified about the call transfer. Theheadset 2 is programmed to recognize the incoming call (the transferred call) from the softphone and automatically accepts the call, whereby the conversation can continue. Theheadset system 1 according toFIG. 1 is also advantageous although theheadset 2 is not connected to thesmart phone 6. In this case, the user must continue the call on thesmart phone 6 without using theheadset 2. In this case, thesmart phone 6 may be programmed to automatically accept the incoming call (the transferred call) from the softphone or the user may manually accept the call, as he does when there is a normal incoming call on thesmart phone 6. -
Scenario 2—The user is arriving at his desk during a mobile call: - The user is driving his car back to the job from a meeting with his
smart phone 6 in his pocket and theheadset 2 on his ear. While driving he accepts an incoming call on the smart phone by pushing a button on theheadset 2. He arrives at his work while talking to the call participant. He enters the office building and approaches his desk. When about 10-20 meters from the desk, theBluetooth link 7 between theheadset 2 and thelaptop computer 4 is automatically established. When the link strength has obtained a predetermined level (the user is close to his desk), theheadset 2 automatically transfers the call to the softphone using the Bluetooth hands free profile. The softphone plugin recognises the smart phone number and automatically accepts the incoming call (the transferred call), whereby the smart phone call terminates and the softphone call is started. - The
system 1 shown inFIG. 1 may also allow the user to manually activating a call transfer. -
FIG. 2 discloses another embodiment of aheadset system 1 according to the invention. Here, thefirst telecommunication device 3 comprises alaptop computer 4 and aheadset base 5. Theheadset 2 is provided withe headband 13. Theheadset base 5 and theheadset 2 are connected by a DECT (Digital European Cordless Telecommunications)link 7. Theheadset base 5 also has a Bluetooth transceiver and is connected to thesmart phone 6 via aBluetooth link 8. - Scenario 3: The user is leaving his desk during a softphone call:
- The user is sitting at his desk with the
smart phone 6 lying in his pocket. He makes a call on the softphone (on the laptop computer 4) using hisheadset 2. During the call, he realizes that he must leave the office for a meeting in another building. He leaves the office while talking. After 10-20 meters walking, theBluetooth connection 8 between theheadset base 5 and thesmart phone 6 is broken due to the distance. A software plugin installed on thelaptop computer 3 “knows” the number of thesmart phone 6 and initiates a call transfer to thesmart phone 6 as soon theBluetooth link 8 is broken. A voice message, such as “please wait for reconnection” is sent to the other call participant. Theheadset 2 notifies the user with a voice message, such as “Please continue call with smart phone”. The user accepts the incoming call (the transferred call), whereby the conversation can continue. Thesmartphone 6 may be set to automatically accept the call, in case it is a call transfer from the softphone. Instead of theBluetooth link 8 between theheadset base 5 and thesmart phone 6, theDECT link 7 may be utilized for call transferring. Thus, the call may be transferred from the softphone to thesmart phone 6 when theDECT link 7 breaks or becomes sufficiently weak, and a call may be transferred from thesmart phone 6 to the softphone, when theDECT link 7 is established and is of a predetermined strength. In this case, theBluetooth link 8 between theheadset base 5 and thesmart phone 6 may be omitted. -
Scenario 4—The user is arriving at his desk during a mobile call: - The user is walking from a meeting room towards his desk, when he accepts an incoming call on his
smart phone 6. When about 10-20 meters from the desk, theBluetooth link 8 between thesmart phone 6 and theheadset base 5 is automatically established. When the link is of a predetermined strength, theheadset base 5 automatically transfers the call to the softphone using the Bluetooth hands free profile. The softphone plugin recognises the smart phone number and automatically accepts the incoming call (the transferred call), whereby the smart phone call terminates and the softphone call is started. - The
system 1 shown inFIG. 2 may also allow the user to manually activating a call transfer. -
FIG. 3 is a third embodiment of aheadset system 1 according to the invention. This embodiment is a kind of a mixture between the embodiments shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 . Here, the establishment or break of aBluetooth link 8 between thesmart phone 6 and thelaptop computer 4 is used for initiating a call transfer. TheBluetooth headset 2 is paired with both thelaptop computer 4 and thesmart phone 6. - The
system 1 shown inFIG. 3 may also allow the user to manually activating a call transfer. -
FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the use of theheadset system 1 shown inFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 5 is a more schematic view of theheadset system 1 according to the first embodiment of the invention. Thelaptop PC 4 is connected to aserver 14. Theserver 14 could be installed in the same company as the laptop PC or anywhere outside. Theserver 14 connects thePC 4 with thecloud 16, which includes the Internet, PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) and the mobile telephone network. A VoiP application such a Skype® or Microsoft Lync® is installed on the laptop PC. On the laptop PC is also installed a softphone plugin forcing the VoIP application or theserver 14 to transfer a call on the softphone to thesmartphone 6, when theBluetooth link 7 is becoming weak or breaks. - Software on the
smart phone 6 and/or theheadset 2 recognises the transferred call and automatically accepts it. Audio messages or simple sounds may inform the headset user that the call is transfer and will continue in a few seconds. If there is call on thesmart phone 6 and theBluetooth link 7 is established, the headset application may instruct thesmart phone 6 to transfer the call to the soft phone on thelaptop PC 4. Optionally, the call may be returned to an earlier linked device when the early link is sufficiently restored (i.e. above a predetermined level). This restoration can be automatic, or more preferably, with the consent of the user, by pressing a key in response to a screen prompt to restore, or by similar audible signal. - Only exemplary embodiments are shown here. Many other headset system embodiments may be contemplated. For example: the laptop could be replaced by a PSTN desk phone, IP Desk phone, desktop computer, tablet computer, smart phone or mobile phone.
