Estimating the term…
A customer premises equipment (CPE) device, such as a telephone, connected to a local communications line existing on the premises is capable of receiving incoming telephone or like communication calls. The device has an interface which connects the device to the local communications line on the premises and enables the device to receive an alternating voltage analog ring signal corresponding to a notification of an incoming telephone call. The device also includes a demodulator for decoding and processing the ring signal including additional media data which is of low amplitude relative to that of the alternating voltage analog ring signal and which is modulated on the alternating voltage analog ring signal. Further, the device includes an input/output (I/O) component providing a means for audible and/or visual output of media from the device. The media output from the device directly corresponds to the media data modulated on the ring signal. CPE telephone systems and methods are also provided.
A customer premises equipment (CPE) device connected to a local communications line existing within a customer premises and capable of receiving incoming telephone calls, comprising:
A customer premises equipment (CPE) telephone system capable of receiving incoming telephone calls via an outside service provider network, comprising:
A method for providing additional media features and functionality to a customer premises equipment (CPE) telephone device connected via RJ-11 twisted pair wiring to a customer premises equipment (CPE) network-interface device which is connected to an outside service provider network, comprising the steps of:
