Abstract
A hands free communication device (2), such as a headset, adapted to be simultaneously connected to a first telecommunication device (2) and a second telecommunication device (3). The hands free communication device (2) is adapted to send a call status signal to the first telecommunication device (3) upon reception of a corresponding call status signal from the second telecommunication device (4) and to send a call status signal to the second telecommunication device (4) upon reception of a corresponding call status signal from the first telecommunication device (3). The invention also relates to a system implementing such a hands free device (2) and a method using such a system.
Claims17
-15. (canceled)
A communications system comprising:
- a. a hands free user worn-hands free device
- b. first and second telecommunications devices adapted to be simultaneously connected to the hands free device
- c. wherein said hands free device is adapted to send a call status signal to the first telecommunication device upon reception of corresponding call status signal from the second telecommunication device and upon receiving of a corresponding call status signal from the first telecommunications device, sending a call status signal to said second telecommunications device;
- d. wherein said hands free device includes an exchanger to send call status information from one telecommunication devices to the other so that call status information is replicated on both devices via said hands free device.
A method of remote controlling a first telecommunication device through second telecommunication device in a communication system comprising the method of:
- a first step wherein incoming call status is visible on said second telecommunications device and wherein an incoming call on the first telecommunication device is accepted by sending a call accept command from the second telecommunication device to a hands free user worn wireless communication device, which in turn sends a call accept command from said hands free device to the first telecommunication device, which method includes a second step wherein
- said hands free device send a call status update to said second communications device indicating that a call has been accepted on said first telecommunications device;
- establishing an audio connection between said first telecommunications device and said hands free device, so that the user can communicate to a third party via said first telecommunications device and while said second communications device indicates that an ongoing call has been accepted with said first telecommunications device.
A method of remote controlling a telecommunication device by another telecommunication device in a communication system which method includes:
- configuring a wireless hands free device to monitor call status from first and second telecommunications devices;
- configuring the first telecommunication device to send a call status message to said hands free device;
- configuring the second communication device to send a call status message to said hands free device;
- configuring the hands free device to, in turn, send a call status from the one communication device to the other communication device via said hands free device, so that both communication devices have synchronized call status information provide through the hands free device, whereby a user can determine call status from a display on either device which is therefore an accurate representation of current call status on either device.
