it should be understood that the components shown in fig1 are merely representative of one mode of wireless communication device and that other communication devices may use different components in order to achieve similar or even different results the claims therefore are not intended to be limited to the system shown in fig1 wireless communication device 100 is capable of multi mode communications meaning that it can operate in several modes of communications such as voice communications or data communications it should be understood that voice communications comprise any audio information including speech music or audible tones used for call processing modems and facsimile machines data communications comprise synchronous or asynchronous data transmission in addition to these modes wireless communication device is also capable of other modes of communications as well a user of wireless communication device 100 initiates communications generally by using input device 200 input device 200 comprises a keypad in the exemplary embodiment however input device 200 could be any device which accepts user commands such as a voice response device which converts voice commands into electrical signals suitable for processing by controller 202 during voice communications the user speaks into microphone 204 which transforms acoustic energy into electrical energy and sends the electrical signals to controller 202 for processing microphone 204 may be substituted for input device 200 in an application where a second audio input device is undesirable in many instances a voice encoder.
