Abstract: A telephone device 100, integrated with a telephone or as a telephone add-on device, improves receipt and processing of network information such as Caller ID from conventional telephone networks. A comparator 103 decodes incoming Frequency Shifted Keying (FSK) signals by transforming transform the FSK signal into a square wave signal with corresponding periodic pulse widths. The transformed signal is sent to a microcontroller 105. The microcontroller is preprogrammed to further decode the transformed signal to obtain digital data representative of Caller ID information. Multiple devices connected to the same telephone line 410 may receive off-hook Caller ID simultaneously by selective disablement of an acknowledgment tone transmission through use of a switch 440. Configurable function keys 471 on a user interface 430 controls other network services, such as voice mail, regardless of different command code formats utilized by various network service providers. By grouping and selecting network service command codes, a user can automatically configure a telephone device to interact with the selected network service provider.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing a convenient and flexible way for a user to dial a block code which allows the user to withhold his/her identity and telephone number when the user makes a phone call. By programming different operation modes using the keys when the apparatus is in an on-hook status, the user may elect to have a block code dialed by manually pressing a block key when desired, or to have a prompt message displayed on the screen to remind him/her to press a key to dial the block code, if so desired, when the phone is off-hook, or to have the block code auto-dialed every time the phone is off-hook. When the apparatus is in an automatic block code dialing mode, the user may override this setting and have his/her caller ID sent on a per call basis. Another aspect of the invention is a circuit arrangement which is capable of reducing the speech/voice interference to the call waiting caller-ID-alert signal during normal telephone conversation, thus improving the chance of a successful caller ID data transmission during call waiting.

Abstract: A learning method and a learning remote control in the present invention include: selecting keys to be taught on the learning remote control, and constructing a key series; performing such operation to each key to be taught as: prompting to the keys to be taught, and then receiving and learning commands from a teaching remote control according to the key to be taught; and when being detected that a key is further selected during the operation to each key to be taught, renewing the key series according to this key, and reexecute the operation to each key. The user follows flexible and simple operating steps during the learning procedure of the learning remote control. The operation is brief, and the learning procedure is simple. The intelligent performance of the learning remote control is improved.
