Abstract: An apparatus includes of a first earbud and a second earbud, each including an interface chip and a case. The case includes a case interface chip configured to communicate data with, and transfer power to, interface chips of the first earbud and the second earbud. The case also includes a housing to provide enclosures for the first earbud and the second earbud. The case interface chip is mated with interface chips of the first earbud and the second earbud when the first earbud and the second earbud are inserted in the housing, and wherein the case, the first earbud, and the second earbud are configured to operate at a multiple, different bias voltage levels.

Abstract: A first device is configured to establish a connection over a short-range communication link with a second device. The first device may transition to a sleep state, terminate (i) a paging operation and a page scanning operation associated with a paging protocol and (ii) an advertisement scanning operation associated with an advertisement protocol and perform an advertisement broadcast operation associated with the advertisement protocol, the advertisement broadcast operation generating an advertisement to be broadcast at a first interval, wherein the first interval is greater than a second interval for performing advertisement broadcast operations in an active state.

Abstract: A case can communicate with one or more earbuds to obtain information related to the earbuds, such as a battery charge level of the earbud. Due to the interface circuits within the case and the earbuds, the case can obtain the information from a power management unit of the earbud without first communicating with a processor (serving as the central processing unit) of the earbud. As a result, the processor can be powered down, i.e., inactive, and the case can still communicate with the earbud. Examples in which the processor can be powered down include when the earbud is in the case and not in use/service by a user, or when the earbud battery charge level is relatively low.
