Patent ID: 8792945

Claim:
An I/O device, comprising: a controller; a transceiver coupled to the controller, the transceiver configured to establish a short range radio link and bi-directionally communicate real-time audio signals over a synchronous circuit-switched transport and an asynchronous packet-switched transport over the short range radio link from a single source of real-time audio signals; a decision controller for transport selection of one of the transports during operation for real-time audio signal communication based on operating conditions; and a switch for dynamically switching between the synchronous circuit-switched transport and the asynchronous packet-switched transport during operation for real-time audio signal communication based upon operating conditions, the switch is processed by a queue controller configured to deliver at least one packet in a queue during the switching between transmission of the synchronous transport and the asynchronous transport, wherein when the synchronous transport continues through the queue, the asynchronous transport is buffered, and once the asynchronous transport is buffered, the synchronous transport is flushed.
