Abstract

See full text

A method of using an entertainment system can allow a plurality of different options to be presented to a user of the entertainment system when an incoming phone call is detected. The user can choose an option, and the entertainment system can be configured to take appropriate action based on the option selected. Such a method allows the user of the entertainment system to make a real-time disposition of the incoming phone call, rather than relying solely on a predetermined set of configurations. In one embodiment, an apparatus and handset can be used in carrying out the method. In another embodiment, a handset for use with the entertainment system can be a remote control that includes telephone control features, or the handset can be used with VoIP connections.
