Abstract

The invention teaches and shows systems, devices and methods for displaying telephony information across a short-range radio link. One preferred embodiment delivers caller identification (ID) information from a wireless telephone to a Bluetooth display device.

Claims

1. A method of displaying telephony information on a short range radio link apparatus, comprising:

wirelessly receiving telephony information via a short range radio link at a short range radio link apparatus;

selecting at least a portion of the telephony information as selected information for display; and

displaying the selected information.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the short range radio link comprises a Bluetooth standard link.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the telephony information comprises a caller identification information.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein displaying comprises displaying the phone number assigned to the incoming call telephony information.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the telephony information comprises information associated with an incoming phone call.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising first receiving the telephony information at a telephony apparatus.

7. The method of claim 6 wherein the telephony apparatus is a mobile phone.

8. The method of claim 6 further comprising detecting the telephony information, and selecting at least a portion of the telephony information for transmission.

9. The of claim 8 further comprising transmitting the selected telephony information via the short range radio link.

10. The of claim 6 further comprising transmitting the telephony information via the short range radio link.

11. The of claim 1 wherein the telephony information is selected telephony information.

12. The of claim 1 wherein the telephony information comprises call status information.

13. The of claim 1 wherein telephony information comprises a telephone number.

15. The method of claim 1 wherein the short range radio link comprises a Bluetooth standard link.

16. The method of claim 1 wherein the telephony information comprises a caller identification information.

14. A method of displaying telephony information on a short range radio link apparatus, comprising:

receiving the telephony information at a telephony apparatus;

transmitting the telephony information via a short range radio link;

wirelessly receiving telephony information via the short range radio link at a short range radio link telephony information display apparatus;

selecting at least a portion of the telephony information as selected information for display; and

displaying the selected information on the short range radio link telephony information display apparatus.

17. A short range radio link apparatus that displays telephony information, comprising:

a short range radio link chip;

a microcontroller coupled to the chip;

a display coupled to the microcontroller; and

memory coupled with the microcontroller, the memory comprising computer code that enables a method of displaying telephony information on a short range radio link apparatus, the method comprising

wirelessly receiving telephony information via a short range radio link at a short range radio link apparatus,

selecting at least a portion of the telephony information as selected information for display, and

displaying the selected information on the apparatus.

18. The apparatus of claim 17 wherein the apparatus comprises a Bluetooth headset form factor.

19. The apparatus of claim 17 wherein the apparatus comprises a watch form factor.

20. The apparatus of claim 17 wherein the apparatus comprises a pen form factor.
