A home gateway system has a transceiver () capable of establishing a wireless local loop connection (). A voice processing system () is coupled to the transceiver (). The voice processing system () is capable of storing a message from an incoming call. A caller identification processing system () is coupled to the transceiver (). The caller identification processing system () determines a telephone number of the incoming call and routes the incoming call to the voice processing system (), if the telephone number belongs to a screened group of telephone numbers.

A method and system for creating and navigating linear hypermedia resource programs are disclosed. The system includes a distributed hypermedia resource network having a plurality of hypermedia resources residing on one or more remote information nodes. A common remote information node is in communication with a subscriber station and the remote information nodes in the distributed network. The common remote information node contains at least one linear hypermedia resource program consisting of pre-selected media elements from one or more hypermedia resources linked with exclusive linear links, each media element in the linear program having only one forward link to the next media element. The method includes the steps of downloading and displaying a media element in the linear program and responding to user commands to download and display the next media element in the linear program.

A dialed number of a called party is received from a calling party. Based on the dialed number, a name of the called party is retrieved from a database. An audio message which includes the name of the called party is generated and communicated to the calling party. A call is routed between the calling party and the called party after said communicating the audio message.

Method, system, and article for audibly identifying a called party

Upon receiving a service code from a calling party, a list of parties previously called by the calling party is retrieved. An audio message is generated based on the list, and communicated to the calling party. A dialed input indicating a selected party from the list is received from the calling party. Based on the dialed input, a call between the calling party and the selected party is initiated.

A home gateway system for home automation and security is described. An example home gateway system includes a wireless local loop transceiver to establish a wireless local loop point to point link to a geographically separated base station coupled to a public switched telephone network; a home automation controller to communicate with the wireless local loop transceiver; a home security controller, integrated with the home automation controller, to communicate with the wireless local loop transceiver; and a security signal to be monitored by the home security controller, wherein a status of the security signal causes the home gateway system to send a message over the wireless local loop.

Home gateway system for home automation and security

A home gateway system () includes a transceiver () connected to a switch (). A processor () is connected to the switch () and provides intelligent functions for the switch (). A router () is connected to the switch (). The router () upon receiving a data packet from an internal port where the data packet has an external address, routes the data packet through the switch () to the processor (). The processor () directs the transceiver () to establish a telephony connection with an internet service provider () and sends the data packet to the internet service provider ().

Home gateway systems and methods to establish communication sessions

A data structure, which identifies a party of a telecommunication network and a telecommunication feature unavailable to the party, is stored in a database. After storing the data structure, availability data is inputted. The availability data indicates an availability of the telecommunication feature to a portion of the telecommunication network which serves the party. The data structure and the availability data are processed to determine that the telecommunication feature has become available to the party.
