Abstract

A system for automatic notification of caller ID, e-mail identification and short message is disclosed for a user to receive incoming caller ID, short message and e-mail identification from a telephone. The e-mail identification includes some of the profile of an e-mail and is provided by an e-mail identification data server. The system includes a receiver for receiving and decoding the caller ID, short message and e-mail identification. The decoded data is displayed in an output apparatus or is read out by voice. In some applications, the receiver can be integrated to the current electronic apparatus, such as television, computer, personal digital assistant, electronic dictionary, electronic watch, etc.

Claims

1. A system for automatic notification of caller ID, e-mail identification and short message for a user at a telephone side, the system comprising:

a caller ID provider for providing the caller ID to be transmitted to the user;

a short message source for transferring short message to the user;

an e-mail identification data server for actively transferring the e-mail identification to the user, the e-mail identification including a profile of an e-mail for the user;

a receiver at the telephone side for receiving and decoding the caller ID, short message and e-mail identification; and

an output apparatus for representing the caller ID, short message and e-mail identification to the user by a display or in speech.

2. A system of claim 1, wherein the output apparatus includes a read-out apparatus for a speech output.

3. A system of claim 1, wherein the output apparatus is selected from the group composed of telephone, television, computer, personal digital assistant, electronic dictionary, electronic watch and mobile phone.

4. A system of claim 1, wherein the caller ID includes telephone number, name or calling time of a caller.

5. A system of claim 1, wherein the e-mail identification includes a subject, mailing date, e-mail address or name of a sender of the e-mail.

6. A system of claim 1, wherein the caller ID provider is an exchange system in a communication network.

7. A system of claim 1, further comprising a short message server for receiving and re-transmitting the short message from the short message source to the user.

8. A system of claim 1, wherein the e-mail identification data server is provided by an Internet service provider.

9. A system of claim 7, wherein the short message server is provided by an Internet service provider.

10. A system of claim 1, wherein the e-mail identification data server is provided by an e-mail service provider.

11. A system of claim 7, wherein the short message server is provided by an e-mail service provider.

12. A receiver at a telephone side for receiving and demodulating a caller ID, short message and e-mail identification, the e-mail identification being sent to the telephone side by an e-mail identification data server actively, the e-mail identification being based on a profile of an e-mail, the receiver comprising:

a decoder for decoding the caller ID, short message and e-mail identification; and

a control circuit for processes of the receiver, the control circuit being connected to the decoder and transferring a decoded caller ID, short message and e-mail identification to an output apparatus.

13. A receiver of claim 12, further comprising a speech output apparatus for outputting the decoded caller ID, short message and e-mail identification in voice.

14. A television at a telephone side for automatic notification of caller ID, short message and e-mail identification, the television receiving and displaying the caller ID, short message or e-mail identification, the e-mail identification being sent to the telephone side by an e-mail identification data server actively, the e-mail identification being based on a profile of an e-mail designated to the telephone side, the television being characterized in that:

the television includes a decoder for decoding the caller ID, short message or e-mail identification, and sends the caller ID, short message or e-mail identification to a screen of the television.

15. A system for caller ID display and short message transfer service for a user at a wired telephone side, the system comprising:

a caller ID provider for providing the caller ID and transferring the caller ID to the wired telephone side;

a short message server for transferring the short message to the telephone side;

a receiver at the telephone side for decoding the caller ID or short message; and

an output apparatus for displaying the decoded caller ID or short message.

16. A system of claim 15, wherein the output apparatus has a read-out apparatus for speech output.

17. A system of claim 15, wherein the output apparatus is selected from the group composed of telephone with caller ID display function, television, computer, personal digital assistant, electronic dictionary, electronic watch and mobile phones.

18. A system of claim 15, wherein the caller ID provider is an exchange system in a communication network.

19. A system of claim 15, wherein the short message source is selected from the group composed of mobile phone, pager and Internet.

20. A system of claim 15, further comprising a short message server for receiving and transferring the short message from the short message source to the telephone side.

21. A system of claim 20, wherein the short message server is provided by an Internet service provider.
