Abstract:
Various embodiments provide systems and methods among wireless earpieces in a wireless communication network that enable balancing the batteries in the wireless earpieces to be depleted at approximately the same rate. Various embodiments intelligently and dynamically swap master/slave roles among two or more Bluetooth® wireless earpieces coupled to a data source device to optimize battery life in both wireless earpieces. The various embodiments provide methods and systems for swapping master-slave roles so that there is less impact on the user experience.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of balancing power consumption among wireless earpieces, comprising:\n establishing a first communication link between a first wireless earpiece and a second wireless earpiece, wherein the first wireless earpiece assumes a master role and the second wireless earpiece assumes a slave role; establishing a second communication link between the first wireless earpiece and a source wireless device; receiving a first data transmission of a plurality of data transmissions from the source wireless device on the first wireless earpiece over the second communication link and relaying at least a portion of the received first data transmission from the first wireless earpiece to the second wireless earpiece over the first communication link; determining, by the first wireless earpiece, whether the source wireless device is currently controllable; sending a pause request to the source wireless device in response to determining that the source wireless device is currently controllable; identifying a media break in response to determining that the source wireless device is not currently controllable; and causing the source wireless device, during the identified media break or a pause resulting from the pause request, to send a second data transmission of the plurality of data transmissions to the second wireless earpiece over the second communication link by exchanging master-slave roles between the first wireless earpiece and the second wireless earpiece without informing the source wireless device of the master-slave role change and without terminating the second communication link, wherein exchanging of master-slave roles comprises swapping of addresses in link key fields associated with the first and second wireless earpieces.
