ABSTRACT:
An in-bound directed telephone station, and a method of directing a telephone station based on an in-bound call, are disclosed. The inbound directed telephone station includes a handset having a call receiver and a call originator, a first memory location, coupled to the call receiver, and a comparator coupled to the first memory location and to the call receiver. Upon receipt of an inbound call by the call receiver, the comparator compares an identifier of the in-bound call to an identifier list in the first memory location and terminates receipt of the in-bound call by the call receiver. Upon locating a match between the identifier list and the identifier of the in-bound call, the comparator automatically activates the call originator to perform a function associated with the in-bound call identifier. The method includes receiving a call at the telephone, activating an identification system based on the receiving, which identification system identifies the origination of the in-bound communication, associating a function with the in-bound communication based on the origination, terminating the in-bound communication after the activating of the identification system, and automatically performing, by the telephone, of the function associated with the in-bound communication.
