2. When you in office enviroment, if the phone has a ring, many people will see the number from the LCD, and if you know the number i think you can add it to your contacts , so if the people call you ,you can learn who is calling you from the LCD .

Well, I suppose that in some environments, like mine, where most calls are from other "internal" numbers (from colleagues in the same PBX), in many cases it would just say a three-digits number...
An idea may be to read the caller name instead (or before/after) the number.

I think that "lelzab993" thinks about the situation where you are in an office with nearby workspaces... where you may find out the phone of your colleague at two/three meters from you is ringing, and your colleague is at the toilet, and you may like to know who is calling before picking up his call.

This said, I don't know if this would be really effective for general users (it may result a bit annoying, so I think it should be not enabled by default)... anyway could be very useful for "accessibility" in case of vision-limited people (and it's quite common to have vision-limited people to have switchboard operator jobs). In this last optic, it could also be useful a feature (that is available, for example, in some cell phones) that would "read" (say) the name of the digit you just pressed while you are composing a number.
