Video caller identification systems and methods

Abstract: Methods for displaying caller identification information on an integrated display/telephone system capable of displaying images generated with a remote video camera are disclosed. One or more signals are received and one or more images are displayed on a display of the integrated display/telephone system. An incoming telephone call is received with the integrated display/telephone system, and data corresponding to the incoming telephone call is received by the integrated display/telephone system. A caller identification display signal is generated, and the caller identification display signal is based on the one or more received signals and the data corresponding to the incoming telephone call received by the integrated display/telephone system. The caller identification display signal includes the one or more received signals and signals from a generator that generates character signals and background display signals. The character signals are generated responsive to the data received with the incoming call, and in response to an incoming telephone call, caller identification information is displayed on the display along with the displayed one or more images.
