Description

Ear microphone

The present invention relates to an ear microphone, and more particularly, to an ear microphone which can be worn by fastening a microphone unit for voice transmission of an ear microphone to a user's finger.

Recently, with the development of communication technology, portable wireless communication terminals that can talk on the go have become popular, and these portable wireless communication terminals have been miniaturized and lightened, and generally can be carried in various ways such as wearing on the waist or hanging on the neck. It became possible. Accordingly, it has become common to fix a wireless communication terminal to a part of a body and to transmit and receive voice by connecting an ear microphone to a wireless communication terminal.

In this regard, the conventional ear microphone is configured to include a small speaker, a microphone, a connection terminal and the like plugged into the ear. Here, the small speaker outputs a voice signal received from the wireless communication terminal, the microphone converts the user's voice into an electrical signal and delivers it to the wireless communication terminal. The connection terminal is wired to the small speaker and the microphone, respectively, and is inserted into the connector of the wireless communication terminal. In this conventional type of ear microphone, when a sound is received at a user's wireless communication terminal, a sound signal is output from a small speaker through a connection terminal, and the voice is transmitted through a microphone. At this time, the microphone is worn by fastening the shirt sleeve or the collar of the user by using a clip on the front, and releasing the clip by hand when necessary to transmit through the microphone. As described above, the conventional ear microphone is fastened to the sleeve or collar of the user when the microphone is fixed by using a clip. Therefore, in order to transmit by using the microphone, the microphone must be removed by pressing and removing the fastened clip. After the transmission is completed, the clip is fastened to the body using a clip.

However, in the case of the conventional ear microphone, users who perform other tasks such as guards repeat the above operation each time they transmit, unnecessary time is consumed, and they are distracted from separating and combining clips. The concentration of work is reduced. In addition, it may be inconvenient to keep the microphone in hand during work to avoid repeated release and tightening, but this also prevents the use of the hand when it is needed, which reduces efficiency. This fall has a problem.

The present invention has been proposed to solve the above problems of the conventionally proposed methods, by configuring the holder unit to be worn by fastening the microphone unit for voice transmission of the ear microphone to the user's finger, the microphone unit is repeatedly The purpose of the present invention is to provide an ear microphone that can increase the concentration of work by reducing the trouble of releasing and tightening the wires, and preventing the eye from being distracted for release and fastening.

In addition, the present invention, by fastening the microphone unit to the user's finger, the natural process of transmitting by using the microphone unit during the work, it is possible to quickly utilize the hand when necessary during the transmission to improve the work ability Another object is to provide an ear microphone.
