Abstract
A miniaturized multiprotocol audio/voice internet-of-things device (MAVID) initiates a wireless call in response to a command received from a first user. The MAVID carries out the wireless call between the first user and a second user. The wireless call utilizes wireless protocols such as WiFi, Bluetooth, third generation mobile technology (3G), fourth generation mobile technology (4G), and Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT). The MAVID performs an in-call interaction, such as connecting to and utilizing an internet-based application or controlling a consumer electronic device, in response to a voice command from either the first user or the second user, while carrying out the wireless call.
