ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a telephone station having a voice announce device. The telephone station includes user interface devices and a telephone station controller coupled to the user interface devices. The telephone station controller selects one of the user interface devices to announce a call from a remote caller based on a state of the telephone station. If the telephone station is in a NOT-BUSY state, the telephone station controller outputs a voice print corresponding to the remote caller to a speaker of the user interface devices to announce the call. If the telephone station is in a BUSY state, the telephone station controller outputs a voice print corresponding to the remote caller to a personal interface device of the user interface devices to announce the call. If the telephone station is in a SPEAKER state, the telephone station controller outputs displayable data to a display device of the user interface devices to announce the call.
