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 telephonic device and a second telephonic device without requiring user intervention to switch between the first and second telephonic 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, andexecute the associated command, wherein executing the command includes communicating wirelessly with one of the first and second telephonic devices;
a housing for enclosing the processor, the transceiver, and the microphone, and for wearing as a headset; and
wherein the transceiver is for receiving at least one notification of an incoming communication call from one of the first and second telephonic devices, wherein the notification includes information identifying an initiator of the incoming communication call;
wherein the wireless telecommunications headset is for providing an audio announcement that includes information identifying the initiator of the incoming communication call; and
wherein the processor is configured to receive a response indicating whether the incoming communication call is to be answered, and is configured to answer the incoming communication call when the response is received.

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.

12. A method for handling a plurality of telephonic calls, the method comprising:
-
associating a wireless headset with a first telephonic 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 telephonic 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 telephonic device without disassociating the wireless headset from the first communication device; receiving a second audio message; recognizing a second command in the second audio message at the wireless headset; and forwarding the second recognized command wirelessly to the second telephonic device in order to initiate a second outgoing communication. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
