Abstract

An earpiece unit (35) and a microphone unit (36) communicate wirelessly with an antenna unit (37) which is worn on the users' wrist and which enables connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network. Hand contact with a touch-sensitised area of the microphone unit establishes an automatic link to a suitable voice-driven operating system which is housed in a call-switching centre. The units employ microminiature internal components, can be worn about the user in the form of a co-ordinated jewellery or body-adornment set, and do not require a display screen or keypad. Extra matching units are available for users requiring video-capture/playback, graphics or text-based functionality. Earpieces can be of a type for pierced or non-pierced ears, or of a hook-around design.
