Abstract: In one embodiment, a communication device according to the invention includes an accelerometer, and an operational aspect of the communication device is adapted to be influenced by an output of the accelerometer. The communication device may be a telephone, such as a wireless telephone, and the accelerometer may influence the operational aspect of the wireless telephone to advantageously make the wireless telephone operate more like a wired telephone. An exemplary wireless handset according to the invention may include a wireless transceiver, a controller, and an accelerometer, wherein the controller is adapted to receive an output from the accelerometer and affect a state of the wireless transceiver based thereon. In another embodiment according to the invention, a method of operating a communication device includes the steps of determining a motion characteristic of the communication device, and affecting an operational aspect of the communication device based on the motion characteristic. An exemplary method of operating a wireless telephone handset according to the invention includes the steps of receiving a ring signal, sensing a movement of the handset, and transitioning to an off-hook state from an on-hook state based on the sensed movement. An alternative method of operating a wireless telephone handset includes the steps of determining an absence of voice activity, determining an absence of motion, and transitioning to an on-hook state based on the absence of voice activity and absence of motion.

Abstract: A call related information detector/receiver system which is capable of downloading call related information received at that device to another call related information detector/receiver system remote from the system which initially received the call related information, back over the telephone line. Thus, a remote user while away from the home or office can receive and synchronize call related information at a system other than the one which initially received the call related information. Thus, a remote user can update a local call related information system and review past callers to their home or business telephone at their leisure. Upon establishment of a telephone call between customer premises equipment respectively associated with the two relevant call related information detector/receiver systems, a remote call related information system will request download of call related information logged from another call related information system using the established telephone call. In the disclosed embodiment, the request signals are encoded with DTMF tones, which the receiving call related information system monitors for. Upon acceptance of a request to transmit logged call related information, previously logged call related information is retrieved from its log, formatted for transmission together with suitable header information such as the identity of the transmitting call related information system, and FSK modulated for transmission back over the telephone line. Preferably, the speaker or earpiece of off-hook customer premises equipment will be muted or suppressed during transmission of the data corresponding to the call related information. The particular call related information transmitted may be particularly or generally requested by the remote call related information system, either by pre-stored commands based on a power up configuration of the requesting call related information system, and/or in response to a direct command input by the remote user using DTMF tones.

Abstract: A method and apparatusprovides three way conferencing which allows a third party caller to call into an existing telephone call at a single line of a called party's telephone. In one embodiment, the called party may accept the conferencing of the third party caller based on a review of received call related information, e.g., Caller ID information. The acceptance may be by flashes of the telephone line and/or by entry of a predetermined DTMF code. The telephone apparatus and/or the central office may maintain a directory of accepted third party callers which are allowed to automatically enter an existing telephone call at a called party, unless refused by the called party within a predetermined amount of time. Each entry in the directory of accepted third party callers contains a portion or all of call related information such as a telephone number and/or a household name.
