ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method are disclosed for transferring caller information or tele-communication information to a video device adapted to convert video format signals into a medium of expression. The caller information may include Calling Identity Delivery information. A detecting device detects the presence of a communication present on an incoming tele-communication line; a decoder device decodes the information present on the tele-communication line to produce caller information or tele-communication information related to the communication; and a transfer device causes the caller information or tele-communication information to be converted to the medium of expression by the video device. A frequency band capability conversion apparatus is also disclosed which accepts a composite signal and processes the composite signal so that it falls within the frequency band of a prescribed channel of a receiver. The frequency band capability conversion apparatus may be provided with a tele-communication line interface for interfacing a telephone line with the signal generator, recognizing an occurrence of a telephone call, and signalling information about the telephone call. The caller information or tele-communication information may comprise, e.g., caller ID information, voice messaging information, or caller ID or call waiting information.
