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.

Home gateway system with telephony functions and method

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.

Method, system, and article for placing a telephone call to a previously-called party

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 speed dial list associated with a telephone line is received via at least one of a computer network and a telephone network. The speed dial list is stored in a database and associated with an identifier of the telephone line. An event of connecting a telephone set to the telephone line is detected. Based on the event, the telephone line to which the telephone set has been connected is identified. The speed dial list associated with the identified telephone line is retrieved. A machine-readable form of the speed dial list is communicated to the telephone set via the telephone network.

Method, system and medium for plug-and-play downloading of speed dial lists

The home gateway system () for home automation and security has a wireless local loop transceiver (). A home automation controller () is capable of sending and receiving a message with the wireless local loop transceiver (). A home security controller () is capable of sending and receiving a message with the wireless local loop transceiver () and the home automation controller ().
