Radio frequency-controlled telecommunication device

A telecommunications system, comprising:

• a
• telecommunications device, including,
• a DTMF generator,
• a microprocessor coupled to said DTMF generator, and
• a radio frequency transceiver coupled to said microprocessor;
• and
• a radio frequency tag;
• wherein said radio frequency tag is configured to provide as output a radio frequency signal comprising tag data associated with an item with which said radio frequency tag is associated;
• wherein said radio frequency transceiver is configured to:
• detect existence of the radio frequency tag;
• receive said radio frequency signal comprising tag data from said radio frequency
• tag;
• and
• provide said tag data to the microprocessor;
• wherein said microprocessor is configured to:
• receive said tag data from the radio frequency transceiver;
• associate said tag data with an associated DTMF sequence;
• and
• cause the DTMF generator to provide said associated DTMF sequence as output;
• and
• wherein said radio frequency tag is attached to a picture frame in which a picture of a person is displayed and wherein said tag data is associated with a telephone number for said person, whereby said microprocessor causes the DTMF generator to dial said telephone number for said person in response to receiving said tag data.
