First Claim
1. A hands-free device for a mobile communications device, comprising:
- a user-operable input means;
means for detecting user operation of the user-operable input means, wherein the hands-free device is head-mounted and has at least one of a speaker and a microphone;
a programmable memory for storing data; and
means for causing a communications device to which the hands-free device is coupled to attempt to establish a predetermined communications connection indicated by data stored in the memory in response to detection of user operation of the user-operable input means, wherein the data indicating the predetermined communications connection to be established includes at least one of a number and an address to be called;
wherein the hands-free device further comprises means for allowing a user to store in the programmable memory of the hands-free device the data indicating the predetermined communications connection to be established; and
wherein the memory is programmable by the user such that the data indicating the predetermined communications connection to be established can be changed in use by the user.

Abstract
A hands-free device for a mobile communications device, and method thereof, includes a user-operable input means and means for detecting user operation of the user-operable input means. The hands-free device is head-mounted and has at least one of a speaker and a microphone. A memory stores data. Means for causing a communications device coupled with the hands free device are included, to establish a communication connection indicated by data stored in the memory in response to detection of user operation of the user-operable input means, wherein the data includes at least one of a number and an address to be called. A user may store in the memory of the hands-free device the data indicating the predetermined communications connection to be established. The memory may be programmable by the user such that the data indicating the predetermined communications connection to be established can be changed in use by the user.

11. A method of operating a hands-free, head-mounted device for a mobile communications device, the hands-free, head-mounted device including a programmable memory for storing data indicating a predetermined communications connection to be established by a communications device, means for allowing a user to stored in the programmable memory of the hands-free, head-mounted device the data indicating the predetermined communications connection to be established, a user-operable control means and at least one of a speaker and a microphone, the method comprising:
-
detecting a particular operation of the user-operable control means; and in response to such detection, causing a communications device to which the hands-free, head-mounted device is coupled to attempt to establish a predetermined communications connection indicated by the data stored in the memory, wherein the data indicating the predetermined communications connection to be established comprises at least one of a number and an address to be called, wherein the data can be changed in use by the user. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
