WIRELESS COMMUNICATION USB DONGLE
First Claim
1. A wireless communication device configured for use with a wireless communication doorbell, the wireless communication device comprising:
- a processor configured to process inbound data delivered from the wireless communication doorbell to the wireless communication device via a network device;
a communication module configured to send outbound data to the network device, the outbound data including identifying information related to the wireless communication device and the wireless communication doorbell, such that the network device can identify the wireless communication device as being associated with the wireless communication doorbell;
a microphone; and
a speaker;
wherein the processor is further configured to transmit a notifying signal to the speaker in response to a ring signal received from the wireless communication doorbell via the network device;
wherein the speaker is configured to emit an audio ringtone in response to the notifying signal received from the processor; and
wherein the wireless communication device further comprises a button that, when pressed in response to the audio ringtone, is configured to activate the microphone to open audio communication between a user at the wireless communication device and a visitor at the wireless communication doorbell via the network device.
