1. A wireless telecommunications headset, comprising:
- a microphone for receiving an audio message;
a memory for storing the audio message;
a transceiver for communicating wirelessly with a first communication device and a second communication device without requiring user intervention to switch between the first and second communication devices;
a processor for executing a plurality of instructions, wherein executing the plurality of instructions causes the processor to;
recognize a command associated with the audio message, wherein recognizing the command associated with the audio message includes identifying a communications address based on the audio message, wherein identifying the communications address based on the audio message comprises isolating the telephone number from the audio message, recognizing a set of digits comprising the telephone number, and composing the command using the set of digits, andexecute the associated command, wherein executing the command includes communicating wirelessly with one of the first and second communication devices; and
a housing for enclosing the processor, the transceiver, and the microphone, and for wearing as a headset.

Abstract
A wearable wireless telecommunications headset may include at least a microphone, a speaker, a transceiver, a processor and a memory. The headset processes audio commands from a user, recognizing the commands and executing them appropriately. The headset communicates with multiple communication devices, answering incoming communications from any devices in range and announcing identity information about an initiator of the communication, as well as initiating outgoing communications by recognizing a spoken communications address, or recognizing and looking up a spoken name in a locally or remotely stored address book.

10. A method for handling a plurality of telephonic calls, the method comprising:
-
associating a wireless headset with a first communication device; receiving a first signal to initiate a first outgoing communication at the wireless headset; receiving a first audio message from a user of the wireless headset; recognizing a first command in the first audio message at the wireless headset; forwarding the first recognized command wirelessly to the first communication device in order to initiate the first outgoing communication; enabling the user to participate in the first outgoing call via the wireless headset associating the wireless headset with a second communication device without disassociating the wireless headset from the first communication device; receiving a second signal to initiate a second outgoing communication at the wireless headset; receiving a second audio message from the user; recognizing a second command in the second audio message at the wireless headset; forwarding the second recognized command wirelessly to the second communication device in order to initiate the second outgoing communication; and enabling the user to participate in the second outgoing communication via the wireless headset. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
