Abstract
An apparatus and method use logical network connections to telephones interconnected by the network to obtain the status of station-specific telephony function information and then to convert the status of station-specific telephony function information to audio information that is presented to the user.
Claims22
A method for providing status of station-specific telephony function information intended for visual presentation as audio information by a telecommunication set, comprising the steps of:
- establishing by a first control application in the telecommunication set a first network connection with a second control application in the telecommunication set in response to a first message from the second control application;
- transmitting by the first control application status of station-specific telephony function information intended for visual presentation to the second control application via the first network connection;
- and
- generating by the second control application audio status of station-specific telephony function information from the transmitted status of station-specific telephony function information intended for visual presentation.

A computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions stored in a telecommunication set for:
- establishing by a first subset of the computer-executable instructions stored in the telecommunication set a first network connection with a second subset of the computer-executable instructions stored in the telecommunication set in response to a first message from the second control application;
- and
- transmitting by the first subset of the computer-executable instructions status of station-specific telephony function information intended for visual presentation to the second subset of the computer-executable instructions via the first network connection;
- and
- generating by the second subset of the computer-executable instructions audio status of station-specific telephony function information from the transmitted status of station-specific telephony function information intended for visual presentation.
