Filed:

Jan 4, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/038866

Inventors:

David J. Luneau - Concord NH, US
Ray F. Chadwick - Bedford NH, US

Assignee:

ClassCo Inc. - Concord NH

International Classification:

H04M 1/64

US Classification:

379 8821, 37921104, 3405391, 34082552

Abstract:

In a messaging system, a messaging server transmits signals over the telephone network to be received by equipment at, e. g. , the customer premises. The receiving equipment converts the signals into meaningful information (e. g. , written or audible words, audible tones, and/or lights), and provides that information (e. g. , by audible announcement and/or visual display) to the user. The signals can be of a variety of types. For example, the signal can be the Incoming Caller Line Identification (ICLID) signal associated with an incoming telephone call. Alternatively, the ICLID signal can be can be sent with the set-up of a non-associated telephone call, and can correspond to a message code, such as to provide the recipient with notification information such as emergency notification messages. Such notification information can be substantially simultaneously transmitted to a number of sets of receiving equipment (e. g. , all homes in a given region).

Assignee:

ClassCo Inc. - Concord NH

International Classification:

H04M 1/64

US Classification:

379 8819, 379 8814, 37914201, 379188, 37921102

Abstract:

In a messaging system, a messaging server transmits signals over the telephone network to be received by equipment at, e. g. , the customer premises. Upon receiving a specific signal, the receiving equipment automatically signals the telephone network to connect the call, such as by going off-hook or by performing a hook flash sequence. In the connected state, the receiving equipment can receive data over the network, such as data to provide the recipient with notification information such as emergency notification messages.

Filed:

Aug 28, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/651063

Inventors:

David Luneau - Concord NH, US
Ray Chadwick - Bedford NH, US

International Classification:

H04M003/42

US Classification:

379201050

Abstract:

A system and method provides data representative of geographical information to equipment for providing weather-related information, such as a NOAA weather radio (NWR). A telephone call is placed over a telephone network from the equipment to an information server, which receives information corresponding to an origin of the telephone call in conjunction with the telephone call. The received information is processed to generate data representative of geographical information, which is then sent to the equipment in conjunction with the telephone call. The equipment is then programmed using the data representative of geographical information to provide geographically based weather-related information.
