Abstract

La présente invention porte sur un combiné téléphonique adapté (100) approprié pour permettre à une personne ayant une déficience visuelle d'identifier un appelant entrant au moyen d'un dispositif d'affichage de pictogramme et sur un système correspondant (200) pour la gestion de l'association de pictogrammes à des identités d'appelant particulières. Dans le combiné téléphonique (100), un appel entrant est reçu par l'intermédiaire d'une unité de réception d'appel (101). Une unité d'identification d'appel (102) est apte à extraire des détails du numéro dont provient l'appel entrant et à comparer ces détails d'identité d'appelant avec des détails d'identité d'appelant stockés dans une identité d'appelant (mémoire 103) pour déterminer ainsi l'identité de l'appelant entrant. Un moteur de recherche de pictogrammes (104) est ensuite apte à réaliser une recherche dans une mémoire de données de pictogrammes (105) sur la base de l'identité d'appelant. Dans le cas où il existe un pictogramme stocké dans la mémoire de pictogrammes (105) associé à l'identité d'appelant, ce pictogramme est émis sur un dispositif d'affichage (écran 106) pour un affichage. Le pictogramme est formaté de manière appropriée de telle sorte que son affichage sur l'écran (106) occupe l'ensemble ou sensiblement l'ensemble de l'écran. La fourniture d'un tel pictogramme de grande taille plutôt que le seul affichage d'un nom contenant plusieurs lettres dans une police relativement petite permet de faciliter l'identification d'appelants entrants pour les personnes ayant une déficience visuelle et les autres utilisateurs du combiné téléphonique (100). Pour permettre aux utilisateurs du combiné téléphonique d'effectuer une distinction entre différents appelants entrants, chaque identité d'appelant dans la mémoire d'identités d'appelant (103) peut avoir un pictogramme associé nettement différent.
