Abstract
The present invention concerns a base station () having a DECT communication module () for wirelessly communicating with one or more registered portable DECT devices). The base station also has a virtual assistant module connecting over an IP communication channel () to a virtual assistant providing responses to user instructions, and a telephony module connecting to and accessing a remote resource over a telephony communication channel (). A device manager () identifies and stores communication parameters of the DECT devices, and can implement a user instruction communicated from a DECT device via the DECT communication module and can route virtual assistant responses to a user instruction. A broker module () establishes a communication link between the DECT devices and the virtual assistant, and between the DECT devices and the telephony communication channel. The broker module includes a transcoder module () operating to trans-code communications over the communication link between the DECT devices and the virtual assistant in the event of a disparity in communication parameters to enable communication of user instructions and responses between the virtual assistant and a DECT device.
