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 25):
A wireless earpiece, comprising:\n a transceiver; and a processor coupled to the transceiver and configured with processor-executable instructions to perform operations comprising:\n establishing a first communication link with a second wireless earpiece via the transceiver; \n establishing a second communication link with a source wireless device via the transceiver; \n receiving a first data transmission of a plurality of data transmissions from the source wireless device over the second communication link and relaying at least a portion of the received first data transmission to the second wireless earpiece over the first communication link; \n determining, by the wireless earpiece, whether the source wireless device is currently controllable; \n sending a pause request to the source wireless device in response to determining that the source wireless device is currently controllable; \n identifying a media break in response to determining that the source wireless device is not currently controllable; and \n 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 with 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 by replacing a current address in a link key field with a new address associated with the second wireless earpiece.
