Apparatus for enhanced information display in end user devices of a packet-based communication network
First Claim
1. A method for information conveyance in an end user device of a packet-based communication service, the end user device connected to a PSTN-based communication device, the method comprising:
- detecting a power up condition of the end user device connected to the PSTN-based communication device;
detecting a packet-based network connection;
retrieving an end user profile from the packet-based communication service;
attempting a communication registration operation; and
displaying one or more non-binary type messages at the end user device regarding the status of the communication service.

Abstract
Method and apparatus for information conveyance in an end user device of a packet-based communication service where the end user device is connected to a PSTN-based communication device includes detecting a power up condition of the end user device connected to the PSTN-based communication device, detecting a packet-based network connection, retrieving an end user profile from the packet-based communication service attempting a communication registration operation and displaying one or more non-binary type messages at the end user device regarding the status of the communication service. The apparatus for enhanced information conveyance includes a main body having a local area packet network connection means, a wide area packet network connection means and a non-packet network connection means for connection of a PSTN-based communication device and a display panel body adapted to display information regarding the status of the communication service in a non-binary manner.
