Abstract
A method and system is disclosed for interfacing Individual Calling Line Identification (ICLID) information in a telephone system with a computer at a subscriber telephone location. The data component of the received multiplexed ringing signal is extracted and stored in the internal memory of the computer. The ICLID data can be instantly displayed on the computer monitor or processed by the computer to generate related information which may be displayed on the computer monitor. The ICLID number can be transferred to the keyboard buffer to actuate a program to generate a disk lookup and populate fields on the monitor screen whereby the phone call is used drive the application by the ICLID data.
