Abstract

A method and system for transmitting information to a cellular telephone in a cellular telecommunications network. The information is transmitted to the cellular telephone in an analog data stream during the ringing phase of a cellular telephone call. The analog data stream transmits information such as calling line identification information or other short messages from the mobile telephone switching office to the cellular telephone before the user answers the call or after the ring signal that is transmitted to the cellular telephone to cause the cellular telephone to ring.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS[received by the International Bureau on 23 August 1999 (23.08.99); original claims 1-37 replaced by amended claim 1-33 (8 pages)]
1. In a cellular telecommunications network including a mobile telephone switching office, an originating device and a cellular telephone, a method for transmitting information between the originating device and the cellular telephone, comprising the steps of: receiving a call from the originating device to the cellular telephone; obtaining information from the originating device; establishing a connection for the call on an analog voice channel between the mobile telephone switching office and the cellular telephone; and transmitting the information from the mobile telephone switching office to the cellular telephone in an analog data stream comprising a first data stream with the information and a second data stream with the information on the analog voice channel.
2. The method of Claim 1, wherein the information comprises the directory number associated with the originating device, and wherein the obtaining step further comprises obtaining the directory number relating to the originating device.
3. The method of Claim 1 , wherein the information further comprises the time the call was received, and further comprising the step of displaying the time the call was received on a display associated with the cellular telephone.
4. The method of Claim 1, wherein the information comprises a name of a party initiating the call, and wherein the obtaining step further comprises obtaining the name from the originating device.
5. The method of Claim 1, wherein the information includes an alphanumeric message, and wherein the obtaining step further comprises obtaining the alphanumeric message from the originating device.
6. The method of Claim 1, wherein the establishing step further comprises sending a ring signal to the cellular telephone; and wherein the transmitting step further comprises transmitting the analog data stream on the analog voice channel to the cellular telephone after the ring signal.
7. The method of Claim 6, further comprising the step of displaying the information on a display associated with the cellular telephone.
8. The method of Claim 1, wherein the establishing step further comprises sending a ring signal to the cellular telephone, and wherein the transmitting step further comprises transmitting the analog data stream to the cellular telephone after the ring signal.
9. The method of Claim 8, further comprising the step of displaying the information on a display associated with the cellular telephone.
10. The method of Claim 9, wherein the step of displaying the information occurs after transmission of the ring signal to the cellular telephone.
11. The method of Claim 1, wherein the transmitting step further comprises encoding the information in the analog data stream.
12. The method of Claim 1, wherein the transmitting step transmits the analog data stream in less than one second.
13. The method of Claim 8, further comprising the step of displaying the information on a display associated with the cellular telephone.
14. The method of Claim 8 further comprising the step of storing the information in a dialing directory in memory associated with the cellular telephone.
15. The method of Claim 13, further comprising the step of dialing a directory number using the cellular telephone and the information displayed on the display associated with the cellular telephone.
16. The method of Claim 14, wherein the information includes an alphanumeric message, and wherein the obtaining step further comprises obtaining the alphanumeric message from the originating device, and fiirther comprising the steps of selecting the information of the call, displaying the information on a display associated with the cellular telephone and storing the alphanumeric information associated with the call into the dialing directory in memory.
17. In a cellular telecommunications network including a mobile telephone switching office, an originating device and a cellular telephone, a method for transmitting information between the originating device and the cellular telephone, comprising the steps of: receiving a call from the originating device to the cellular telephone; obtaining information from the originating device comprising the directory number associated with the originating device; establishing a connection for the call on an analog voice channel between the mobile telephone switching office and the cellular telephone, the connection being completed by the call being answered responsive to a ring signal transmitted to the cellular telephone operative to cause the cellular telephone to ring; and transmitting the information on the analog voice channel from the mobile telephone switching office to the cellular telephone in an analog data stream after the ring signal, wherein the analog data stream includes a first data stream and a second data stream that each include the information; and displaying the information on a display associated with the cellular telephone before the cellular telephone rings.
18. A system for transmitting information from an originating device to a cellular telephone, comprising: the cellular telephone; and a mobile telephone switching office, the mobile telephone switching office being operative to: receive a call from the originating device for the cellular telephone, obtain information relating to the originating device, establish a connection for the call on an analog voice channel between the mobile telephone switching office and the cellular telephone, and transmit the information to the cellular telephone in an analog data stream comprising a first data stream with the information and a second data stream with the information on the analog voice channel.
19. The system of Claim 18, wherein the mobile telephone switching office is further operative to: establish the connection by sending a ring signal to the cellular telephone to cause the cellular telephone to ring, and transmit the analog data stream after the ring signal on the analog voice channel.
20. The system of Claim 18, wherein the mobile telephone switching office is further operative to: establish the connection by sending a ring signal to the cellular telephone on the analog voice channel, and transmit the analog data stream on the analog voice channel after the ring signal.
21. The system of Claim 18, wherein the mobile telephone switching office further comprises an encoder, the encoder being operative to generate the analog data stream.
22. The system of Claim 18, wherein the information comprises a directory number associated with the originating device.
23. The system of Claim 18, wherein the information includes a name of a party initiating the call.
24. The system of Claim 18, wherein the information includes a time for when the call was received.
25. The system of Claim 18, wherein the information includes an alphanumeric message.
26. The system of Claim 22, wherein the cellular telephone further comprises a display operative to display the information.
27. The system of Claim 26, wherein the display is further operative to display the information after the transmission of a ring signal to the cellular telephone.
28. The system of Claim 20, wherein the cellular telephone further comprises a display operative to display the information.
29. The system of Claim 28, wherein the display is further operative to display the information after the cellular telephone rings.
30. The system of Claim 18, wherein the analog data stream is less than one second in duration.
31. The system of Claim 18, wherein each of the first and second data streams is approximately 200 milliseconds in duration.
32. The system of Claim 31, wherein the cellular telephone, the mobile telephone switching office and the display are further operative to: display the information associated with the call, select the directory number in the information displayed in associated with the call, and dialing the directory number.
33. The system of Claim 32, wherein the cellular telephone, the mobile telephone switching office and the display are further operative to: provide for the storing of the call information in a dialing directory in memory.
