Switch from speakerphone to handset mode hands free

If there’s one thing we don’t understand, it’s technical documents. So when we came across a Russel Shaw blog regarding a Research In Motion patent, we knew we were in for it. We could feel our eyes glazing over as we read. It’s a lot to digest, but the long and short is that we could be seeing a feature in the next series of BlackBerry that allows for a voice-activated switch from speakerphone to handset mode.
Unfortunately, there’s not much to really say about this. We like elaborating on news items and such, so you can get a fresh take. But in this case, it’s pretty straightforward. Voice is above a certain threshold, it’s on speakerphone. Voice is below a certain threshold, it’s on handset mode.
Now, the question is, will the device adapt to different users? For instance, we have a particularly loud voice. Would our BlackBerry recognize that and change the threshold? Or is it a constant? We suppose that could have been in the Abstract, but if it was we didn’t understand it.
