Patent ID: 8620282

Claim:
A non-transitory computer readable medium having a stored set of instructions that when executed by a processor cause a handsfree device communicating with a wireless device connected to a network providing a call-waiting feature and caller-ID information to: receive caller-ID information from the wireless device for a second call while a first call is in progress; deliver an alert to a user of the wireless device indicating the second call; convert the caller-ID information to a speech signal, in response to a user input via a user interface; decouple a speaker and a microphone from a transceiver of the handsfree device; and couple the speaker to the processor to deliver the speech signal; accept a first activation of a user-activated input prior to the first call; convert a predetermined response to a predetermined speech signal for delivery to the speaker in response to the first activation; accept the first call; and accept a second activation of the user-activated input after the alert wherein the speech signal is delivered to the speaker in response to the second activation of the user-activated input, thereby delivering the caller identity signal instead of the predetermined speech signal for the second call.
