ABSTRACT:
A calling party identifying apparatus electrically connected to an exchange system which can provide the calling number and the registered name of the phone set or the like includes a receiver, a microprocessor, a memory, an LCD, a key pad, a plurality of lights, and a speaker. The memory has a database installed therein including a plurality of potential callers' information each of which includes a specific caller's name, the calling number of the caller, the preference degree thereof, and the preferred hours for the caller to call. The apparatus is allowed to display the caller's name on the LCD instead of displaying the registered name of the calling device. When any call comes in, the apparatus will check the database and display the caller's name, the calling number thereof, and the preference degree thereof. In the meantime, the lights and the speaker will visually and audibly illustrate the preference degree of the call by a preset light pattern and audible pattern, thus helping the user to determine whether to receive the call or not. If the call is not coming in during the preferred hours, the call is automatically cut off by the microprocessor. A key pad allows the user to make a call by dialing one or more characters instead of the whole number. The microprocessor is also capable of calling a pager right after a high preference degree call is not answered by any person so an intended recipient will not miss the high preference degree call.
