Abstract

A device may establish a first communication with a first communication device using short-range wireless communication technology. The device may establish a second communication with a second communication device using short-range wireless communication technology. The device may receive a voice call from the second communication device. The device may determine call information associated with the voice call. The device may compare the call information with stored call information. The device may associate a path condition, previously associated with the stored call information, with the voice call if the call information matches the stored call information. The device may selectively establish a call path to a speaker associated with the device or to the first communication device based on the path condition.
