Problems solved by technology

This has the disadvantage that users must be technically competent enough to download, install and operate the packet-based communication client software on their personal computers, which presents a barrier to take-up
[0007] Although packet-based communication systems can also be accessed via certain mobile devices, these mobile devices generally do not have the processing resources or display screens available to provide a full range of features such as video calling

Embodiment Construction

[0048] figure 1 A communication system 100 is shown comprising a packet based network 101 such as the Internet; and further comprising a separate television broadcast network 108 such as a terrestrial, satellite or cable network. A plurality of computer terminals 102 are shown coupled to the Internet 101, each computer terminal comprising a network interface for communicating over the Internet. Also shown are a plurality of televisions 103 coupled to the Internet 101, each of which also includes a network interface for communicating over the Internet. In addition to a network interface, each television set 103 further includes a television receiver for receiving analog and / or digital television signals broadcast over television network 108 . Alternatively or additionally, the television set 103 may be arranged to receive packet-based television signals over the Internet 101 or other such packet-based network. However, broadcast television is still prevalent at the time of wr...

Abstract

A television comprising: a television screen for displaying video signals to a user; a network interface for accessing a packet-based network; processing apparatus coupled to the television screen and network interface, arranged to execute a communication client application for receiving communication events via the network interface and packet-based network; power-saving circuitry coupled to the television screen and processing apparatus, configured to switch between a higher-power mode in which the television screen is switched on and a lower- power mode in which the television screen is switched off; and a user input device communicable with the power-saving circuitry for switching between the power modes, the lower-power mode thus being a mode set in response to a manual user input from the user input device. The client continues to monitor the network interface during the low power mode in order to provide notifications and / or wake up the television.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to televisions with embedded processing means for making voice or video calls over a packet-based network. Background technique [0002] Some communication systems allow users of terminals, such as personal computers, to make voice or video calls over a packet-based computer network, such as the Internet. Such communication systems include Voice or Video over Internet Protocol (VoIP) systems. These systems are beneficial to users because they are usually significantly less expensive than traditional fixed-line or mobile networks. This may be especially true for long-distance communications. In order to use a VoIP system, users install and execute client software on their terminals. The client software establishes the VoIP connection and provides other functions such as registration and authentication. In addition to voice communications, clients may also establish connections for other communication media, such as inst...
