User interface 22 allows a user to initiate enhanced call functions or network hardware operations. These enhanced call functions include call initiation operations, call conferencing operations, call forwarding operations, call hold operations, call muting operations, and call waiting operations. Additionally, user interface 22 allows the user to access network interface functions, hardware functions, base unit interface functions, directory functions, caller ID functions, voice activated commands, playback commands and device programming functions. User interface 22 can be any combinations of a visual interface as evidenced by display 24, tactile interface as evidenced by buttons 26, and/or an audio interface. Each of these devices, earpiece 12, microphone 14 and host device 16, may support one or more versions of the Bluetooth Specification or other wireless protocols. A Bluetooth �scatternet� is formed from multiple �piconets� with overlapping coverage
For example, if a communication is to be processed via wire line telephone 14 (i.e., the host device for this example), but headset 10 is at a distance such that a piconet cannot be established between their piconet RF interfaces 26 and 28. However, headset 10 is in range to establish a piconet with cellular telephone 36, the piconet RF interfaces 36 and 28 of cellular telephone 36 and headset 10, respectively, would establish a piconet. With this piconet established, cellular telephone 36, via its WLAN RF interface 48, establishes a wireless connection with access point 21. Access point 21 then establishes a communication link with wire line telephone 14. Thus, a logical connection is established between universal wireless multimedia device 37 and wire line telephone 37 via cellular telephone 36 and access point 21. Note that wire line telephone 37 may be directly coupled to LAN connection 50 or coupled to a private branch exchange, which in turn is coupled to access point 21. Accordingly, within a wireless geographic area, the range of universal wireless multimedia device 10 may be extended utilizing the WLAN within the geographic area. As such, universal multimedia device or headset 10 extends the mobility of its user, extends the range of headset use and expands on headset functionality. Alternatively, universal wireless multimedia device 10 may establish a piconet with cell phone 36. This allows cell phone 36 to establish an alternate communication pathway for the communications serviced by wired phone 14. Then it is possible for the call serviced by telephone 37 or 35 to be �handed off� to cell phone 36.
