背景技术Background technique
由于对飞机航空电子设备的潜在影响，以及与地面蜂窝网络的潜在干扰，所以在商用飞机飞行期间，通常在飞机上禁止发送或接收信号的装置操作。Due to the potential impact on aircraft avionics, and potential interference with terrestrial cellular networks, operation of devices that transmit or receive signals is generally prohibited on board commercial aircraft during flight.
飞行模式是在许多电子装置上可用的设置，当进入飞行模式时，其暂停装置的许多信号传输功能，由此禁用例如移动电话的拨打或接收呼叫或者文本消息的能力，同时仍允许使用不需要信号传输的其他功能；例如游戏、内置相机、MP3播放器等。Airplane mode is a setting available on many electronic devices that, when entered, suspends many of the device's signaling functions, thereby disabling, for example, the ability of a mobile phone to make or receive calls or text messages, while still allowing the use of unwanted Other functions for signal transmission; such as games, built-in camera, MP3 player, etc.
飞行模式允许用户在飞行期间处于商用飞机上时操作装置。Airplane mode allows the user to operate the device while on a commercial aircraft during a flight.
其他名称包括飞机模式、客机模式、离线模式和单机模式。Other names include Airplane Mode, Airplane Mode, Offline Mode, and Standalone Mode.
已知具有用于与其他装置进行无线通信的收发器和具有不需要无线通信的其他功能的头戴式装置，例如助听器。Head-mounted devices with transceivers for wireless communication with other devices and with other functions that do not require wireless communication are known, such as hearing aids.
发明内容Contents of the invention
存在一种对具有飞行模式的头戴式装置的需求，其中当处于正在飞行的商用飞机中时，在禁用装置的信号传输和接收功能的同时允许该装置的其他功能的操作。There is a need for a head mounted device with an airplane mode in which while in a commercial aircraft in flight, the signal transmission and reception functions of the device are disabled while operation of other functions of the device is allowed.
因而，一种头戴式装置设置有：Thus, a head mounted device is provided with:
收发器，其用于使该头戴式装置与另一装置无线互联，以及a transceiver for wirelessly interconnecting the headset with another device, and
壳体，其用于容纳该头戴式装置的至少一些部分、并且具有：A housing for housing at least some portions of the head-mounted device and having:
电池舱，其用于容纳为该头戴式装置供电的电池，a battery compartment for accommodating batteries for powering the headset,
电池盖，其用于闭合该电池舱，并且其中该头戴式装置还具有：a battery cover for closing the battery compartment, and wherein the headset further has:
控制器，其被配置成：响应该电池盖的重复开启和闭合操作禁用收发器、同时使头戴式装置的其他部分能够操作。A controller configured to disable the transceiver in response to repeated opening and closing of the battery cover while enabling operation of other portions of the headset.
该新型头戴式装置的重要优点在于，用户能够操作装置以进入飞行模式，其中，例如通过关闭收发器禁用该装置的收发器，以便在处于飞行中的商用飞机中时允许使用该装置的其他功能。An important advantage of the new headset is that the user is able to operate the device to enter an airplane mode, wherein the device's transceiver is disabled, for example by turning off the transceiver, to allow other devices to use the device while in a commercial aircraft in flight. Function.
很大程度上由于美观的原因，头戴式装置，诸如助听器正变得越来越小。因而，用于用户界面控制的可用面积正变得越来越小，入耳式助听器尤其如此，当助听器被插入用户的耳朵中时，电池盖占用了暴露给用户的面积的相当大的部分，并且通常没有足够的空间用于进一步的用户控制。Head-mounted devices, such as hearing aids, are becoming smaller and smaller, largely for aesthetic reasons. Thus, the available area for user interface controls is becoming smaller and smaller, especially for in-ear hearing aids, where the battery cover takes up a considerable portion of the area exposed to the user when the hearing aid is inserted into the user's ear, and Often there is not enough room for further user control.
该新型头戴式装置的重要优点在于，为了提供进入飞行模式的用户命令，用户界面不需要另外的硬件。An important advantage of the new headset is that no additional hardware is required for the user interface in order to provide the user command to enter airplane mode.
优选地，提供了一种用于监控从闭合电池盖后所经过的时间的计时器。Preferably, a timer is provided for monitoring the time elapsed since closing the battery cover.
优选地，提供了一种短启动（boot）计数器，用于对已经经过了启动时间阈值之前的电池盖开启事件进行计数。Preferably, a short boot counter is provided for counting battery door opening events until a boot time threshold has elapsed.
在下文中，术语“短启动”表示以比启动时间阈值较短的持续时间闭合电池盖，并且术语“长启动”表示以比启动时间阈值较长的持续时间闭合电池盖。Hereinafter, the term "short start" means that the battery cover is closed for a duration shorter than the start time threshold, and the term "long start" means that the battery cover is closed for a duration longer than the start time threshold.
通常，电池被容纳在由壳体中的支撑结构形成的舱中，该壳体允许接近电池电极，以通过电池对头戴式装置的电路供电。该支撑结构包括电池盖，诸如电池顶盖或电池门，其能够由用户开启，允许用户接近和更换电池。可这样布置该支撑结构，即像抽屉一样，将电池和电池顶盖一起抽出壳体，或者电池门可铰接至壳体，以便其摆动开启，由此以旋转运动从装置壳体抽出电池。当电池盖开启时，装置关闭，并且当电池盖完全闭合时，装置开启。在电池舱中设置电端子，以连接电池电极和头戴式装置的电路，从而对装置供电。Typically, the battery is housed in a compartment formed by a support structure in a housing that allows access to the battery electrodes to power the circuitry of the headset through the battery. The support structure includes a battery cover, such as a battery dome or a battery door, which can be opened by a user to allow the user to access and replace the battery. The support structure may be arranged such that the battery and battery top together are drawn out of the housing like a drawer, or the battery door may be hinged to the housing so that it swings open thereby withdrawing the battery from the device housing in a swivel motion. When the battery cover is open, the device is off, and when the battery cover is fully closed, the device is on. Electrical terminals are provided in the battery compartment to connect the battery electrodes to the circuitry of the headset to power the device.
当电池与电池盖一起移动、脱离和电端子的接触、并且失去对头戴式装置的供电时，可检测出电池盖的开启。在该事件中，在非易失性存储器中连续地存储涉及头戴式装置先前被加电时段期间头戴式装置是否处于飞行模式、以及涉及先前被加电时段的持续时间的标记和计数器的更新值，从而可用于头戴式装置的下一加电事件。Opening of the battery cover may be detected when the battery moves with the battery cover, loses contact with the electrical terminals, and loses power to the headset. In this event, the flags and counters related to whether the headset was in airplane mode during the previous powered-on period, and the duration of the previous powered-on period are continuously stored in non-volatile memory. Updates the value so it is available for the next power-on event of the headset.
作为替换方式，如本领域众所周知的，可利用与电池盖关联的开关来检测电池盖的开启。该开关与电池门一起开启和闭合，并且该开关的输出被输入到头戴式装置的控制器，其响应于开关的状态执行电池盖的开启和闭合的检测。该布置允许在失去功率之前检测电池盖的开启，以便能够在失去功率之前，在非易失性存储器中存储涉及头戴式装置先前被加电时段期间头戴式装置是否处于飞行模式、以及涉及先前被加电时段的持续时间的标记和计数器的值。Alternatively, a switch associated with the battery door may be utilized to detect opening of the battery door, as is well known in the art. The switch is opened and closed together with the battery door, and an output of the switch is input to a controller of the head mounted device, which performs detection of opening and closing of the battery door in response to the state of the switch. This arrangement allows detection of battery door opening prior to loss of power, so that prior to loss of power, information relating to whether the headset was in airplane mode during a period in which the headset was previously powered on, and A flag and counter value for the duration of the previously powered-on period.
在一个实施例中，当电池门闭合、并且头戴式装置在先前被加电时段期间不处于飞行模式、并且头戴式装置被加电的时间段超过启动时间阈值，例如10秒时，开启和如果需要的话启用包括收发器的该头戴式装置，并且只要电池门闭合，包括收发器的该头戴式装置就保持开启和启用。In one embodiment, when the battery door is closed and the headset was not in airplane mode during a previously powered-on period, and the headset was powered on for a period exceeding a start-up time threshold, for example 10 seconds, the power-on and enabling the headset including the transceiver if desired, and keeping the headset including the transceiver on and enabled as long as the battery door is closed.
在先前启动（boot）是长启动、并且在电池盖闭合后已经经过启动时间阈值，即第一时间的短启动之前，电池盖开启的情况下，短启动计数器值从0递增到1，并且在非易失性存储器中加以存储，并且关闭包括收发器的该头戴式装置。In case the previous boot (boot) was a long boot and the battery cover was opened before the boot time threshold had elapsed after the battery cover was closed, i.e. the short boot of the first time, the short boot counter value is incremented from 0 to 1, and at stored in the non-volatile memory, and the head-mounted device including the transceiver is turned off.
当随后闭合电池盖时，再次开启和如果需要的话启用包括收发器的该头戴式装置，并且只要电池盖闭合，包括收发器的该头戴式装置就保持开启和启用。When the battery door is subsequently closed, the headset including the transceiver is turned on and if necessary enabled again, and remains on and enabled as long as the battery door is closed.
如果在已经闭合电池盖之后经过启动时间阈值之前开启电池盖，则短启动计数器值从1递增到2，并且在非易失性存储器中加以存储，并且包括收发器的该头戴式装置关闭。If the battery door is opened before the activation time threshold has elapsed after the battery door has been closed, the short activation counter value is incremented from 1 to 2 and stored in non-volatile memory, and the headset including the transceiver is turned off.
当随后闭合电池盖时，头戴式装置开启，然而不启用收发器，即不开启收发器，这是因为短启动计数器值大于或等于2，并且飞行模式标记被设置成指示该头戴式装置现在处于飞行模式，即禁用收发器，例如未开启收发器。此外，短启动计数器值被设置为0。When the battery cover is subsequently closed, the headset is turned on, however the transceiver is not enabled, i.e. the transceiver is not turned on, because the short start counter value is greater than or equal to 2, and the airplane mode flag is set to indicate that the headset Now in airplane mode, i.e. the transceiver is disabled, i.e. the transceiver is not turned on. Also, the short start counter value is set to zero.
如果在已经闭合电池盖之后经过启动时间阈值之前开启电池盖，则短启动计数器值递增到大于2的值，并且在非易失性存储器中加以存储，并且该头戴式装置关闭。If the battery door is opened before the boot time threshold has elapsed after the battery door has been closed, the short boot counter value is incremented to a value greater than 2 and stored in non-volatile memory, and the headset is turned off.
可这样配置控制器，即当头戴式装置处于飞行模式，并且用户需要更换电池时，用户必须执行电池盖的重复开启和闭合操作，以重新进入飞行模式。The controller may be configured such that when the headset is in airplane mode and the user needs to replace the battery, the user must perform repeated opening and closing operations of the battery cover to re-enter airplane mode.
可进一步这样配置控制器，即当处于飞行模式时开启并且然后闭合电池盖时，开启除了收发器之外的头戴式装置，或者否则禁用收发器，并且在电池盖保持闭合的时间比启动时间阈值长的情况下，也开启收发器，或者否则启用收发器，并且重置飞行模式标记。The controller may further be configured to turn on the headset other than the transceiver, or otherwise disable the transceiver, when the battery door is opened while in airplane mode and then closed, and the battery door remains closed for a longer period of time than the activation time If the threshold is long, the transceiver is also turned on, or otherwise enabled, and the airplane mode flag is reset.
显见地，也能够利用各种计数器值和标记来实施上述功能性。例如，在其他实施例中，进入飞行模式需要3次或更多次连续开启和闭合电池盖的操作，而各自闭合操作的持续时间比启动时间阈值短。在另一示例中，可通过不同的连续开启和闭合电池盖的操作顺序，将不同的启动时间阈值应用于不同的闭合操作。同样地，在飞行模式中，闭合电池盖的时间比启动时间阈值长可导致保持飞行模式，同时，可通过连续开启和闭合电池盖的操作，进入正常模式或非飞行模式，即启用收发器。Obviously, various counter values and flags can also be utilized to implement the functionality described above. For example, in other embodiments, entering the flight mode requires 3 or more consecutive operations of opening and closing the battery cover, and the duration of each closing operation is shorter than the activation time threshold. In another example, different activation time thresholds may be applied to different closing operations through different sequential opening and closing operations of the battery cover. Likewise, in flight mode, closing the battery cover for longer than the activation time threshold may result in flight mode being maintained, while continuous opening and closing of the battery cover may enter normal mode or non-flight mode, i.e., enable the transceiver.
可结合硬件或软件，或者适用时，结合其两者实现该新型头戴式装置的控制器。The controller of the novel head-mounted device may be implemented in a combination of hardware or software, or both when applicable.

例如，“处理器”、“信号处理器”、“控制器”、“系统”等等可能为（但不限于）在处理器上运行的过程、处理器、对象、可执行文件、执行的线程和/或程序。For example, "processor," "signal handler," "controller," "system," etc. may mean, but is not limited to, a process running on a processor, a processor, an object, an executable, a thread of execution and/or programs.
以说明的方式，术语“处理器”、“信号处理器”、“控制器”、“系统”等等表示在处理器上运行的应用程序和硬件处理器两者。一个或多个“处理器”、“信号处理器”、“控制器”、“系统”等等或其任何组合可位于执行的过程和/或线程中，并且一个或多个“处理器”、“信号处理器”、“控制器”、“系统”等等或其任何组合可位于可能与其他硬件电路组合的一个硬件处理器中，和/或分布在可能与其他硬件电路组合的两个或更多硬件处理器中。By way of illustration, the terms "processor," "signal processor," "controller," "system," etc. mean both an application program running on a processor and a hardware processor. One or more "processors", "signal processors", "controllers", "systems", etc. or any combination thereof may reside within a process and/or thread of execution, and one or more "processors", "Signal processor", "controller", "system", etc. or any combination thereof may be located in one hardware processor, possibly in combination with other hardware circuits, and/or distributed between two or In more hardware processors.
收发器可被配置用于头戴式装置与无线网络的互连。无线网络可促进与网络中的多个其他装置的互连，诸如远程控制器、配套器材、移动电话、头戴式耳麦、门铃、警报系统、广播系统，等等。The transceiver can be configured for interconnection of the headset with the wireless network. Wireless networks can facilitate interconnection with multiple other devices in the network, such as remote controls, accessory equipment, mobile phones, headsets, doorbells, alarm systems, public address systems, and so on.

有利地，飞行模式可导致功率节省。这是因为装置不与网络连接，不需要为了接收而连续地搜索，所以节省了大量功率。Advantageously, airplane mode can result in power savings. This is because the device is not connected to the network and does not need to constantly search for reception, thus saving a lot of power.

在下文中，将参考附图进一步解释该新型头戴式装置，其中：In the following, the new head-mounted device will be further explained with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

具体实施方式Detailed ways
现在，将在下文中参考其中示出不同实施例的附图，更完全地描述该新型头戴式装置。附图是示意性的，并且为了清晰而简化，并且它们仅示出理解该新型助听装置必需的细节，同时已经移除其他细节。该新型头戴式装置可能以和附图所示不同的形式具体实施，并且不应将其理解为限于本文提出的实施例和示例。相反，提供这些实施例和示例，以便本公开完整和完全，并且将本发明的范围完全传达给本领域技术人员。The novel head-mounted device will now be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which different embodiments are shown. The figures are schematic and simplified for clarity, and they only show details necessary to understand the new hearing aid device, while other details have been removed. The novel headset may be embodied in forms different from those shown in the drawings and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments and examples presented herein. Rather, these embodiments and examples are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
在附图中，类似的参考标记涉及类似的元件。In the drawings, like reference numerals refer to like elements.
图1示意性示出助听器10形式的头戴式装置，该头戴式装置具有：输入换能器12，通常为麦克风，以将声学声音转换为电子声音信号14；信号处理器16，其用于将电子声音信号14处理成听力损失补偿信号18；以及输出换能器20，其用于将听力损失补偿信号18转换为声学输出信号，以朝向助听器10的用户的鼓膜传送。1 schematically shows a head-mounted device in the form of a hearing aid 10 having an input transducer 12, typically a microphone, to convert acoustic sound into an electronic sound signal 14; for processing the electronic sound signal 14 into a hearing loss compensation signal 18; and an output transducer 20 for converting the hearing loss compensation signal 18 into an acoustic output signal for transmission towards the eardrum of a user of the hearing aid 10.
该助听器10还具有：收发器22，以使助听器10和另一装置无线互联，以及壳体（未示出），其用于容纳助听器10的至少一些部分并且具有用于容纳为助听器10供电的电池28的电池舱（未示出），以虚线示出的用于闭合电池舱的电池门40。The hearing aid 10 also has a transceiver 22 for wirelessly interconnecting the hearing aid 10 with another device, and a housing (not shown) for housing at least some parts of the hearing aid 10 and for housing power to the hearing aid 10. A battery compartment (not shown) for the battery 28, a battery door 40 for closing the battery compartment is shown in phantom.
助听器10还具有控制器24，其被配置成或者通过控制本领域众所周知的控制要启用或禁用的收发器的逻辑输入26、或者（未示出）简单地通过连接或断开到收发器22的电源28来启用或禁用收发器22。The hearing aid 10 also has a controller 24 that is configured to either control a logic input 26 that controls which transceivers are to be enabled or disabled, as is well known in the art, or (not shown) simply by connecting or disconnecting a Power supply 28 to enable or disable transceiver 22.
如下文进一步解释的，控制器24响应电池门的重复开启和闭合操作，启用或禁用收发器22。As explained further below, controller 24 enables or disables transceiver 22 in response to repeated opening and closing of the battery door.
该新型助听器10的重要优点在于，用户能够操作该装置，从而例如通过关闭收发器而进入装置10的收发器22被禁用的飞行模式，以便在飞行期间，允许在商用飞机上使用装置22的其他功能。An important advantage of the new hearing aid 10 is that the user is able to operate the device so as to enter an airplane mode in which the transceiver 22 of the device 10 is disabled, for example by switching off the transceiver, in order to allow other functions of the device 22 to be used on a commercial aircraft during the flight. Function.
很大程度上由于美观的原因，助听器正变得越来越小。因而，用于用户界面控制的可用面积正变得越来越小，入耳式助听器尤其如此，当助听器被插入用户的耳朵中时，电池门占用了暴露给用户的相当大部分面积，并且没有足够的空间用于另外的用户控制装置。Hearing aids are getting smaller, largely for aesthetic reasons. As a result, the available area for user interface controls is becoming smaller and smaller, especially for in-ear hearing aids, where the battery door takes up a significant portion of the area exposed to the user when the hearing aid is inserted into the user's ear, and there is not enough space for additional user controls.
该新型助听器10的重要优点在于，为了提供进入飞行模式的用户命令，用户界面不需要另外的硬件。An important advantage of the new hearing aid 10 is that no additional hardware is required for the user interface in order to provide the user command to enter airplane mode.
提供一种用于监控从闭合电池门后所经过的时间的计时器（未示出）。A timer (not shown) is provided for monitoring the time elapsed since the battery door was closed.
提供了一种短启动计数器（未示出），以对已经经过了启动时间阈值之前的电池门开启事件进行计数。A short start counter (not shown) is provided to count battery door open events until a start time threshold has elapsed.
现在参考图2和3解释说明助听器10的操作。The operation of the hearing aid 10 is now explained with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3 .
在示出的助听器10中，当电池和电池盖40一起移出而脱开与电端子的接触时，电池盖40的开启使电池28与电池舱的电端子断开，因而失去了对头戴式装置的供电。In the illustrated hearing aid 10, when the battery and battery cover 40 are removed together out of contact with the electrical terminals, the opening of the battery cover 40 disconnects the battery 28 from the electrical terminals of the battery compartment, thus losing the ability to connect to the headset. power supply of the device.
加电期间，更新下列值：During power-up, the following values are updated:
飞行模式标记，其指示出在头戴式装置的先前的加电时段期间，该头戴式装置处于飞行模式（值=1），或未处于飞行模式（标记=0），an airplane mode flag indicating that the headset was in airplane mode (value=1) or not in airplane mode (flag=0) during the headset's previous power-on period,
短启动标记，其响应于如与启动时间阈值相比的、对从电池盖闭合后所经过的时间进行计数的计时器的当前值，指示出头戴式装置的先前的加电时段是短启动（标记=1），或不是短启动（标记=0），以及a short boot flag, responsive to the current value of a timer counting the elapsed time since the battery door was closed, as compared to the boot time threshold, indicating that the previous power-on period of the headset was a short boot (flag=1), or not a short start (flag=0), and
在非易失性存储器中连续存储用于对短启动数目进行计数的短启动计数器，从而可用于该头戴式装置的下一加电事件。A short boot counter for counting the number of short boots is continuously stored in non-volatile memory so that it can be used for the next power-up event of the headset.
当电池盖40闭合时，控制器24检查飞行模式标记的值，即控制器24测试头戴式装置10在该头戴式装置10的先前的加电时段期间，是否处于飞行模式。When the battery cover 40 is closed, the controller 24 checks the value of the airplane mode flag, ie the controller 24 tests whether the headset 10 was in airplane mode during the previous power-on period of the headset 10 .
如果先前未处于飞行模式，则控制器24就启用收发器22，并且只要电池盖40闭合，收发器22就保持启用。If not previously in airplane mode, controller 24 enables transceiver 22 and remains enabled as long as battery door 40 is closed.
短启动计数器值递增，并且在非易失性存储器中存储更新值，以便即使还未知当前时段将为短启动或长启动，都将当前加电时段作为短启动时段存储在非易失性存储器中。假设当前加电时段经过进入长启动，如果该短启动计数器值超过阈值，例如2，则控制器控制该头戴式装置进入飞行模式。The short boot counter value is incremented and an updated value is stored in non-volatile memory so that the current power-up period is stored in non-volatile memory as a short boot period even though it is not yet known whether the current period will be a short boot or a long boot . Assuming that the current power-on period has passed to enter the long boot, if the short boot counter value exceeds a threshold, such as 2, the controller controls the headset to enter the flight mode.
如果在经过启动时间阈值之前开启电池盖40，则已经在非易失性存储器中存储了正确记录的（短启动）值；然而，如果头戴式装置保持加电的持续时间比启动时间阈值长，则清除短启动标记和短启动计数器，并且在非易失性存储器中加以存储，以便作为长启动时段存储该加电时段，头戴式装置在该长启动时段期间未处于飞行模式。If the battery cover 40 is opened before the boot time threshold has elapsed, then a correctly recorded (short boot) value has been stored in non-volatile memory; however, if the headset remains powered on for a duration longer than the boot time threshold , the short boot flag and short boot counter are cleared and stored in non-volatile memory to store the power up period as a long boot period during which the headset was not in airplane mode.
当助听器10处于飞行模式，并且用户需要更换电池时，用户必须执行电池门的重复开启和闭合操作，以如上所述地重新进入飞行模式。When hearing aid 10 is in airplane mode and the user needs to change the batteries, the user must perform repeated opening and closing of the battery door to re-enter airplane mode as described above.
在用户期望退出飞行模式并且进入正常模式的事件中，用户仅需要在飞行模式中开启电池门，然后执行长启动。收发器是在已经经过了启动时间阈值时，而非在这之前开启，以便考虑到电池门可能闭合较早的问题，即短启动可能导致用户命令保持飞行模式的问题。In the event that the user desires to exit airplane mode and enter normal mode, the user only needs to open the battery door in airplane mode and then perform a long boot. The transceiver is turned on when the boot time threshold has passed, rather than before, to account for the possibility that the battery door may close earlier, ie a short boot may result in a user command to stay in airplane mode.
显见地，也能够以各种计数器值和标记来实施上述功能性。例如，在其他实施例中，进入飞行模式需要3次或更多次连续开启和闭合电池门的操作，而各自闭合操作的持续时间比启动时间阈值短。在另一示例中，可通过不同的连续开启和闭合操作顺序，将不同的启动时间阈值应用于不同的闭合操作。同样地，在飞行模式中，闭合电池门的时间比启动时间阈值长可导致保持飞行模式，同时，可通过连续开启和闭合电池门的操作而进入正常模式或非飞行模式，即启用收发器。Obviously, the above described functionality can also be implemented with various counter values and flags. For example, in other embodiments, entering the flight mode requires 3 or more consecutive operations of opening and closing the battery door, and the duration of each closing operation is shorter than the activation time threshold. In another example, different actuation time thresholds may be applied to different closing operations with different sequences of successive opening and closing operations. Likewise, in flight mode, closing the battery door longer than the activation time threshold may result in flight mode being maintained, while continuous opening and closing of the battery door may result in normal or non-flight mode, ie, enabling the transceiver.
收发器22可被配置用于助听器10与无线网络的互连。无线网络可促进与网络中的多个其他装置的互连，诸如远程控制器、配套器材、移动电话、头戴式耳麦、门铃、警报系统、广播系统，等等。The transceiver 22 may be configured for interconnection of the hearing aid 10 with a wireless network. Wireless networks can facilitate interconnection with multiple other devices in the network, such as remote controls, accessory equipment, mobile phones, headsets, doorbells, alarm systems, public address systems, and so on.
助听器10可能形成双耳助听器系统的一部分。Hearing aid 10 may form part of a binaural hearing aid system.
有利地，飞行模式可导致功率节省。这是因为装置不与网络连接，不需要为了接收而连续地搜索，所以节省了大量功率。Advantageously, airplane mode can result in power savings. This is because the device is not connected to the network and does not need to constantly search for reception, thus saving a lot of power.
在另一头戴式装置（未示出）中，电池盖与开关协作，该开关指示出电池盖的开启，而不将电池与电路断开。开关的状态被输入至控制器，该控制器响应于开关的状态，以上文类似的方式控制飞行模式和正常模式。In another headset (not shown), the battery cover cooperates with a switch that indicates opening of the battery cover without disconnecting the battery from the circuit. The state of the switch is input to a controller which controls the airplane mode and normal mode in a similar manner as above in response to the state of the switch.
