Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hearing aid system.
  • Hearing aids are usually used to output a sound signal to the hearing of the person wearing the hearing aid.
  • the output is made by means of an output transducer, usually acoustically via airborne sound using a loudspeaker (also referred to as a "receiver” or “earpiece”).
  • a loudspeaker also referred to as a "receiver” or “earpiece”
  • hearing aids are often used as so-called hearing aids (also called hearing aids for short).
  • the hearing aids normally comprise an acoustic input transducer (in particular a microphone) and a signal processor that is set up to process the input signal (also called a microphone signal) generated by the input transducer from the ambient sound using at least one signal processing algorithm that is usually stored for the specific user in such a way that any hearing loss of the person wearing the hearing aid is at least partially compensated.
  • the output transducer can be a loudspeaker or alternatively a so-called bone conduction receiver or a cochlear implant, which are set up to mechanically or electrically couple the sound signal into the hearing of the person wearing the hearing aid.
  • hearing aids also includes devices such as so-called tinnitus maskers, headsets, headphones and the like.
  • Typical designs of hearing aids are behind-the-ear (“BTE”) and in-the-ear (“ITE” or “ITE”) hearing aids. These terms refer to the intended wearing position.
  • Behind-the-ear hearing aids have a (main) housing that is behind the Auricle.
  • In-the-ear hearing aids on the other hand, have a housing that is worn in the auricle or even completely in the ear canal.
  • hearing aids especially hearing aids, have in common is that, like many other products, they are subject to miniaturization, in particular to make it as inconspicuous as possible to wear. Their weight is also constantly being reduced. However, this increases the risk that a loss of a hearing aid is often not noticed immediately and/or that it is difficult to find again.
  • the invention is based on the object of simplifying the retrieval of a hearing device.
  • the hearing device system has a hearing device with a first broadband communication device, a first narrowband communication device and a first controller connected to these. This means that the first controller is linked (in particular in terms of data transmission technology) to the first broadband communication device and the first narrowband communication device.
  • the hearing device system also has a mobile terminal with a second broadband communication device, a second narrowband communication device, a position detection system and a second controller connected to these.
  • the first and second controllers are designed to Normal operation (of the hearing device system) by means of the first or second narrowband communication device to establish and maintain a narrowband connection (in particular for mutual communication) between the hearing device and the mobile terminal.
  • the second controller is set up to determine and store a current position of the mobile terminal as the lost position of the hearing device by means of the position detection system if the narrowband connection to the hearing device is interrupted.
  • the second controller is set up to display the stored lost position to a user at least in a search mode activated by a user input.
  • the second controller is set up to establish a broadband connection to the hearing device by means of the second broadband communication device as part of the search mode and to derive an indication of an actual position of the hearing device on the basis of this broadband connection and to output it to the user.
  • the indication and/or the loss position is displayed optically, in particular the loss position by means of a (digital) map, preferably on a display of the mobile terminal device formed, for example, by a smartphone.
  • an indication of the presence or absence of the hearing device is derived by the second controller on the basis of the narrowband connection.
  • the indication is based in particular on whether the narrowband connection exists or not, so that the presence of the hearing device is inferred if the narrowband connection exists. Accordingly, the absence of the hearing device - at least a position of the hearing device outside the (connection) range of the narrowband connection - is inferred if the narrowband connection no longer exists. If the absence of the hearing device is detected, the current position of the mobile device is then stored as the loss position of the hearing device.
  • the use of the narrowband connection has the advantage that such a connection through modern hearing devices often exists to a mobile device anyway, for example in order to enter control inputs into the mobile device.
  • the hearing device and the terminal thus form the hearing device system described above.
  • the position of the terminal stored as the lost position at the time the hearing device is detected to be absent can form a useful starting point when the hearing device is searched for at a later point in time (or immediately, e.g. when the first controller expediently issues a warning message in addition to determining the lost position).
  • the second controller is set up to conclude that the hearing device is absent (and to determine and store the loss position accordingly) when the hearing device is (still) within the connection range of the narrowband connection (i.e. the narrowband connection still exists), but the narrowband connection is used to determine a distance value between the mobile device and the hearing device that is greater than a predetermined limit value (e.g. two or 1.5 meters). This distance value is determined by the second controller in particular based on the signal strength of a signal received by the hearing device. This procedure is particularly useful for cases in which the narrowband connection can in principle be maintained over a distance of, for example, more than three, four or five meters (with a free transmission path).
  • a predetermined limit value e.g. two or 1.5 meters
  • the second controller is set up to re-establish the narrowband connection between the hearing device and the mobile terminal using the second narrowband communication device as part of the search mode - in particular when the narrowband connection no longer exists - if the mobile terminal is within a predetermined range of the determined loss position.
  • the second controller is set up to send a request signal within this range, e.g. three to five meters, which triggers the first controller to use the first narrowband communication device to to attempt (and, if possible, to carry out) a coupling of the hearing aid with the second narrowband communication device (i.e. to re-establish the narrowband connection).
  • the second controller is set up to derive a rough indication of the actual position of the hearing device based on the narrowband connection.
  • the second controller uses this narrowband connection to determine how large the distance is between the terminal device and the hearing device, in particular based on the detected signal strength of a signal from the hearing device (i.e. its first narrowband communication device). Since determining a distance based on the signal strength is often subject to comparatively large uncertainties due to environmental influences (e.g. signal-dampening "obstacles" in the signal path), the distance (or distance) determined in this way is used as a rough indication.
  • a direction indication is preferably also determined and output as an indication and/or rough indication.
  • the direction indication can be determined by the user of the mobile device and the hearing aid being asked by the end device (specifically its controller) (e.g. via audio output or screen display) to stretch the device away from them and rotate around its own axis (e.g. at least once). This causes the end device to at least cover a circle (or a partial circle if it does not rotate completely) so that the distance to the hearing aid varies over the rotation. The rotation position with the smallest determined distance can then be used as a direction indication.
  • the second controller is set up to establish the broadband connection in response to a user-specific input within the scope of the search mode.
  • the user can therefore, in particular if based on the If the hearing aid cannot be found via the narrowband connection, request that the broadband connection with the hearing aid, specifically between the first and second broadband communication device, be established by means of an input on the mobile device and that this broadband connection be used for further searching.
  • the second controller is configured to send a trigger signal to the hearing device to establish the broadband connection using the narrowband connection as part of the search mode.
  • the first controller is preferably configured to activate the first broadband communication device upon receipt of this trigger signal and thus enable the broadband connection to be established.
  • the trigger signal can also be output in a time-controlled manner (additionally or alternatively) if the second controller determines a high probability that the hearing device has not yet been found on the basis of the narrowband connection and a predetermined period of time has elapsed. This can be done, for example, by starting a timer after entering search mode (e.g.
  • the second controller continues to determine the distance to the hearing aid and concludes that the hearing aid has not been found if the determined distance value is more than, for example, 50 cm or one meter (or if such a small distance value is only present for a short period of time, e.g. less than 30 seconds, e.g. if the terminal device comes close to the hearing aid during the search but the user still cannot see the latter).
  • the first and second narrowband communication devices are designed to operate using a radio technology known as Bluetooth Low Energy.
  • This radio technology is characterized by particularly low power consumption.
  • the first and second broadband communication devices are designed to send signals with a frequency width of at least 500 MHz and/or at least 20% of a center frequency of the signals, in particular with a pulse duration of less than or equal to 3 ns.
  • Such broadband communication is also referred to as ultra-wideband communication or "UWB" (ultra wide band) communication.
  • the first and second broadband communication devices are therefore ultra-wideband or "UWB” communication devices.
  • the respective broadband connection is an ultra-wideband (UWB) connection.
  • the center frequency is to be understood in particular as the mean value of the upper and lower limit frequencies of the corresponding frequency band.
  • conventional radio technologies intended for such purposes use significantly narrower frequency widths, in particular less than half (WLAN, for example, with a maximum of around 160 MHz in the 5 GHz band, otherwise less than 100 MHz; Bluetooth also with less than 100 MHz).
  • the first and second broadband communication devices are preferably set up to send only single signal pulses (preferably in the range of less than 10 ns, sometimes in the range of around 1 ns).
  • no modulation of a carrier signal specifically its carrier frequency, is used, but in particular so-called pulse modulation techniques.
  • the second controller is set up to determine a distance between the terminal and the hearing device based on a signal propagation time measurement.
  • a broadband connection is particularly suitable for this, since the broadband signals enable particularly short pulse durations compared to the narrowband connection. These short pulse durations in turn enable a comparatively precise determination of distances based on the signal propagation time measurement.
  • the determination of a direction indication can in principle also be carried out using the broadband connection in accordance with the procedure described above for the narrowband connection (rotation around its own axis). Due to the Due to the comparatively higher spatial resolution of the broadband connection, a panning of, for example, 45 to 90 or 180 degrees around one's own axis may be sufficient.
  • the second controller is set up to determine the distance between the terminal and the hearing device based on a so-called angle of arrival of a signal transmitted as part of the (ultra) broadband connection.
  • This can be used in particular if the hearing device and/or the mobile terminal have two (ultra) broadband communication devices or at least two (ultra) broadband antennas.
  • the distance of the transmitter can be deduced, for example, based on a phase shift of the signal detected by these two communication devices or antennas.
  • the hearing device system has a charger for the hearing device in addition to the hearing device described above and also in addition to the terminal.
  • the hearing device expediently has a rechargeable battery.
  • the charger has, comparable to the hearing device or the terminal described above, a third broadband communication device (which is preferably also set up and constructed in a similar way to the (ultra) broadband communication device described above), a third narrowband communication device and a third controller connected to these.
  • the second and the third controller are set up to interact with each other in accordance with the procedure described above with regard to the first and the second controller.
  • the second and the third controller are set up to establish and maintain a narrowband connection between the mobile terminal and the charger during normal operation (of the hearing device system) using the second and the third narrowband communication device.
  • the second controller is set up to interrupt the narrowband connection with the charger if the connection is interrupted. to use the position detection system to determine and store a current position of the mobile device as the lost position of the charger.
  • the second controller is set up to display the stored lost position (of the charger) to the user at least in a search mode activated by a user input.
  • the second controller is set up to establish a broadband connection to the charger using the second broadband communication device as part of the search mode and to derive an indication of an actual position of the charger on the basis of this broadband connection and to output it to the user.
  • the hearing device can also be equipped without the broadband communication device in the case described above, optionally also without the narrowband communication device.
  • the hearing device system is therefore only designed to find the charger using the search mode described above.
  • the third controller is therefore particularly designed to provide and, if necessary, execute the functionality described above for the possibly required search for the charger in a similar way to the first controller (the hearing device).
  • the second controller is accordingly designed to execute the functionality described above for the second controller for searching for and finding the hearing device in a similar way to searching for and finding the charger.
  • the third controller, the third narrowband communication device and also the third broadband communication device therefore have the same features and advantages described above as the first controller, the first narrowband communication device and also the first broadband communication device.
  • At least one software application is installed on the second controller in an executable manner, which sets up the mobile terminal when executed on the second controller to carry out the steps described above, in particular automatically, optionally in cooperation with the user.
  • this software application is designed to implement the above described search mode.
  • another software application is designed to determine the presence or absence of the hearing aid or charger during normal operation.

  • the signal processor 6 and the controller 20 of the smartphone 4 establish and maintain a narrowband connection using the respective BLE module 14 or 22 in a first method step S1.
  • the controller 20 checks whether the narrowband connection between the hearing device 2 and the smartphone 4 (specifically between both BLE modules 14 or 22) still exists or whether it has been interrupted.
  • the controller 20 of the smartphone 4 determines a current position in a third method step S3 using the position detection system 26 (e.g. satellite-based) and sets this as the lost position VP.

If this is not the case, the second controller 20 shows the user the lost position VP or at least a direction and distance to it so that the user can go there. If the smartphone 4 is within the predetermined distance value around the lost position, the second controller 20 sends a first trigger signal using the BLE module 22 in a seventh method step S7 in order to resume the narrowband connection with the hearing device 2.
