METHOD AND APPARATUS PERTAINING TO BLUETOOTH(tm)-CONVEYED VOICE-BASED USER INPUT

摘要

An apparatus having both a Bluetooth-compatible transceiver and a cellular-telephony transceiver has a control circuit operably coupled to the foregoing configured to facilitate at least one on-board application using voice-based user input. The control circuit, upon determining that a call-setup message as received via the Bluetooth-compatible transceiver specifies a particular predetermined number (such as a predetermined number that comprises an invalid number to serve as a telephone number) to call, automatically uses audio content received via the Bluetooth-compatible transceiver as the aforementioned voice-based user input for that on-board application. By one approach, the apparatus can provide that predetermined number to a given secondary platform as part of a conveyed contacts list.

主权项

1. A method of communicating between a cellphone and another electronic device, comprising:
executing software by a processor in the cellphone, the software configured to:
receive a call setup message from the other device using Bluetooth; andif the call setup message includes a predetermined number to call, communicate to the other device using Bluetooth to mimic that a call to the predetermined number is connected, then use subsequent audio data received from the other device as spoken user commands.
