System and method for displaying information associated with a cellular device on a user specified display unit
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for displaying information associated with a cellular device on a display unit, the method comprising:
- monitoring for a signal transmitted by a cellular device operating within range of a femto cell that is configured to detect a cellular signal within a specified range covering a residential location;
responsive to the femto cell detecting a signal from a cellular device, determining from data associated with the signal;
an identity of the detected cellular device;
a call status of the detected cellular device, wherein the call status comprises determining whether the detected cellular device is actively communicating with another communications device located outside of the range of the femto cell during the active communication with the detected cellular device; and
a duration of the active communication; and
transmitting the identity, the call status and the duration of the active communication of the cellular device from the femto cell to a user specified device for displaying the identity, the call status and the duration of the active communication on a display unit.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention include a method for displaying information associated with a cellular device on a display unit. In one embodiment, the method includes monitoring for a signal transmitted by a cellular device. In response to detecting the signal from the cellular device, the method determines an identity and a call status of the cellular device from data associated with the signal. The method transmits the identity and the call status of the cellular device to a user specified device to display the identity and the call status on the display unit associated with the user specified device.
