Abstract

A method for establishing a wireless communication interface between a call management device and a plurality of mobile communication devices is provided. The method comprises implementing an association between the call management device and each of the plurality of mobile communication devices; configuring the call management device as a primary device in a personal area network (PAN); and configuring each of the plurality of the mobile communication devices as a non-primary device in the PAN.

Claims (16)

1. A method for establishing a wireless communication interface between a call management device and at least one mobile communication device from among a plurality of mobile communication devices communicating with the call management device, the method comprising:

implementing a unique association between the call management device and each of the plurality of mobile communication devices;

configuring the call management device as a primary device in a personal area network (PAN); wherein each of the plurality of the mobile communication devices is configured as a non-primary device in the PAN;

processing voice signals transmitted by a first mobile communication device to the call management device, in response to the call management device recognizing the first mobile communication device transmitting a service request,

wherein the call management device services the first mobile communication device in exclusion of the other mobile communication devices in the PAN, based on a pre-existing unique association implemented between the call management device and the first mobile communication device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the implementing process comprises creating a list of the associations between the call management device and each of the plurality of mobile communication devices.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the list is stored in a memory of the call management device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PAN is a piconet for connecting the call management device to each of the plurality of mobile communication devices using Bluetooth communication technology.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the call management device is a hands-free car kit.

6. A vehicle-mount call management system connected to N wireless mobile communication devices in a personal area network (PAN),

wherein the call management system is configured as a primary device and each of the N wireless mobile communication devices is configured as a non-primary device in the PAN,

wherein the call management system implements a unique association with each of the N wireless mobile communication devices,

wherein the call management system processes voice signals transmitted by a first wireless mobile communication device to the call management device, in response to the call management device recognizing the first wireless mobile communication device transmitting a service request,

wherein the call management device services the first wireless mobile communication device in exclusion of the other mobile communication devices, based on a pre-existing unique association implemented between the call management device and the first mobile communication device.

7. The call management system of claim 6 , wherein the call management system is connected to the N wireless mobile communication devices in a piconet using Bluetooth technology.

8. The call management system of claim 6 , wherein the call management system comprises a hands-free car kit having a list of associations, each association respectively identifying a corresponding mobile communication device in the PAN.
