Abstract
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a computer-readable storage medium in a telephone having computer instructions to execute a web server application in the telephone. The web server application can be operable to detect an incoming plain old telephone service call, identify a calling party identifier from the incoming plain old telephone service call, and direct one of a plurality of devices detected by web server application to present the calling party identifier. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims20
A non-transitory, machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system of a communication device including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- executing a web server application that facilitates communications with a gateway communicatively coupled to a media processor capable of displaying content on a display of the communication device;
- detecting the media processor;
- establishing communication services between the communication device and the media processor;
- detecting an incoming telephone call;
- identifying a calling party identifier from the incoming telephone call;
- and
- directing the media processor to present the calling party identifier at the display of the communication device.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processing system including a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- executing a web server application that facilitates communications with a gateway communicatively coupled to a media processor capable of displaying content on a display of a media device;
- detecting the media processor;
- establishing communication services between the apparatus and the media processor;
- detecting an incoming telephone call;
- identifying a calling party identifier from the incoming telephone call;
- and
- directing the media processor to present the calling party identifier at the display of the media device.
A method, comprising:
- executing, by a processing system including a processor, a web server application that facilitates communications with a gateway communicatively coupled to a media processor capable of displaying content on a display of a media device;
- detecting, by the processing system, the media processor;
- establishing, by the processing system, communication services between the media device and the media processor;
- detecting, by the processing system, an incoming telephone call;
- identifying, by the processing system, a calling party identifier from the incoming telephone call;
- and
- directing, by the processing system, the media processor to present the calling party identifier at the display of the media device.
