## Abstract

Embodiments include method for providing a handsfree service to a user of a wireless, handsfree headset. In an embodiment the method comprises the headset performing service discovery on the audio gateway to determine a method of transferring an application to the audio gateway, wherein the application provides the service, the headset causing the application to be transferred to the audio gateway using a method based on the service discovery; and the audio gateway executing the application, wherein this user issues voice commands that are executed by the audio gateway to provide the service.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A device, comprising:
a headset configured to transfer data with a connected device;
a microphone configured to receive a signal associated with a voice command;
an analog-to-digital converter configured to receive the signal from the microphone, and to convert the signal associated with the voice command from an analog format to a digital format;
a memory configured to store the data associated with the device; and
a processor configured to determine the service, to receive the signal associated with the voice command in the digital format from the microphone, to identify one or more characters in the digital format of the signal, to transmit the one or more characters to the connected device, to execute a computer program instruction to suppress noise within the signal and another computer program instruction to cancel an echo within the signal, and to receive a request for a connection from the connected device and to provide a code in response to the request.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to execute a further computer program instruction to execute calling the service over a data network, the service being configured to initiate a function to be implemented on the headset.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to provide a noise suppression function to be performed on the signal.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to provide an echo cancellation function to be performed on the signal.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to transfer the data with the connected device using a Bluetooth data communication protocol.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the connected device comprises a mobile device.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the microphone comprises a dual microphone.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the microphone comprises a skin sensing microphone.
