Method and apparatus pertaining to Bluetooth#-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. An apparatus comprising:
a Bluetooth-compatible transceiver; a cellular-telephony transceiver; a control circuit operably coupled to both the Bluetooth-compatible transceiver and the cellular-telephony transceiver and configured, at least in part, to:
facilitate at least one on-board application other than call setup using voice-based user input;upon determining that a call-setup message received via the Bluetooth-compatible transceiver from a vehicle's audio-entertainment system specifies a particular predetermined number to call, which particular predetermined number to call comprises an invalid number to serve as a telephone number and which particular predetermined number triggers mimicking a telephone call via the Bluetooth-compatible transceiver, automatically mimicking a telephone call for the vehicle's audio-entertainment system and using audio content received from the vehicle's audio-entertainment system via the Bluetooth-compatible transceiver as the voice-based user input for the on-board application to thereby effect a purpose and function of the on-board application.
