Patent ID: 11272048

Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for managing connections between a wireless headset and various user devices, e.g., to answer or place a call at a particular user device (e.g., a device that is not currently connected to the headset) as a headset-supported call in which the call audio is routed from the particular user device to the headset and/or vice versa. Connections between the headset and relevant user devices may be controlled or facilitated by suitable software and hardware components to establish the headset-supported call. For example, such device connections may be controlled or facilitated by a cloud-based network including remote server(s). As another example, the device connections may be controlled or facilitated by a local mesh network, e.g., including user device(s) connected to the headset and the particular user device. As another example, the device connections may be cooperatively managed by a cloud-based network and a local mesh network.
