Patent ID: 8116823

Claim:
A modular wireless headset operable to support voice communications over at least one servicing network, the modular wireless headset comprising: transceiver circuitry operable to receive and transmit Radio Frequency (RF) signals; signal conversion circuitry coupled to the transceiver circuitry operable to convert incoming RF signals to incoming audio signals and to convert outgoing audio signals to outgoing RF signals; a speaker coupled to the signal conversion circuitry that is operable to render the incoming audio signals audible; a microphone coupled to the signal conversion circuitry that is operable to produce the outgoing audio signals; voice recognition circuitry coupled to at least the signal conversion circuitry and operable to produce command signals when the modular wireless headset operates in a voice command mode; and processing circuitry coupled to at least the voice recognition circuitry and operable to receive and process the command signals.
