Mobile system including base station and wireless earbud

Abstract

The disclosure provides a personal media system including a base station and a wireless earbud. The personal media system interacts with a smartphone for wireless pairing. The base station has a connection hole to receive the wireless earbud. When the wireless earbud is plugged into the connection hole, the base station and wireless earbud form an integrated body.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A mobile system comprising:
 a mobile base station comprising a connection hole, a user input button, at least one processor, at least one memory, and circuitry; and   a wireless earbud configured for plugging into the connection hole of the mobile base station to form an integrated body with the mobile base station,   wherein, while the wireless earbud is plugged in the connection hole of the mobile base station, the wireless earbud is configured to electrically connect with the circuitry of the mobile base station and further configured to perform wired data communication with the mobile base station,   wherein, while the wireless earbud is plugged in the connection hole of the mobile base station, the circuitry of the mobile base station is configured to obtain characteristics of the wireless earbud and send the characteristics to the at least one processor,   wherein, while the wireless earbud is plugged in the connection hole of the mobile base station, the at least one processor is configured to execute computer program instructions stored in the at least one memory to initiate charging of a battery of the wireless earbud,   wherein the wireless earbud has wireless communication capability for wireless pairing with a smartphone to perform data communication with the smartphone,   wherein the mobile system is configured to generate sound when a mobile application installed on the smartphone is searching for the mobile system while the wireless earbud is paired with the smartphone,   wherein, in response to pressing of the user input button of the mobile base station, the at least one processor is configured to execute computer program instructions stored in the at least one memory to initiate processing for the wireless pairing.   
     
     
         2 . The mobile system of  claim 1 , wherein the wireless earbud is not capable of wirelessly sending data to the mobile base station.
