Abstract

An integrated graphical user interface is provided to both Internet and telephone function screens in an Internet access device. An integrated graphical user interface includes a home screen having selectable areas that represent a primary level of Internet and telephone functions. A telephone function screen automatically slides up to cover a portion of a previously-displayed screen in response to a selected condition, including receiving and initiating a telephone call. The slide-up window may also be manually controlled. The slide-up window displays information related to the telephone call being initiated or in progress. Selectable areas are provided for user control of call functions including answering, initiating a call, implementing telephone company services, and user defined functions. Upon termination of the selected condition, or upon user selection, the telephone function screen slides down to expose the previously displayed screen.
