    摘要： A voice processing system is connected to a switch via multiple telephone lines, and provides a set of line objects, each line object being associated with one of the physical telephone lines. The line object allows a demarcation to be made between the underlying voice processing system software, and external business applications. Thus a line object supports a set of methods such as Get DTMF Tone, Play Audio, Answer Call, and End Call, to allow the external business applications to perform desired operations on a telephone line. These methods are invoked via a set of corresponding IVR action objects, which in turn are integrated into the business application. The business application itself, and its IVR actions, regard the line objects effectively as servers to provide IVR functionality. The business application may therefore run partially or completely on a separate physical machine from the IVR system itself.

    摘要： The present invention relates to establishing a communication channel between two communication systems having computer telephony integration (CTI). Many CTI systems are configured into incoming and outgoing lines according to the anticipated demands. Consequently, if sufficient outgoing or incoming capacity is unavailable at a given time to support a communication channel of required characteristics, the users of such a system must conventionally wait until sufficient capacity becomes available. However, the present invention determines who the intended addressee is and can instruct the CTI system associated with that addressee to instigate the establishment of a communication channel to the user who originally desired the connection. The instructions can be sent to the intended addressee using for example, another communication network, such as the Internet or other data communications network. This arrangement also allows the call to be placed in the reverse direction, where this is favourable for tariff reasons. The invention also includes the automatic selection of a telephone network carrier based on tariff data requested over a data network such as the Internet.

    摘要： This invention relates to the management, in an interactive voice response system, of a plurality of speech technology modules. In particular it relates to an apparatus and a method for dynamically determining which of a plurality of speech technology modules to use during voice interaction between the system and a user. In prior art IVR systems each speech technology module is configured for a specific application or task. Most speech technology modules have different lexicons for the range of functions but it is the full lexicon which can determine an engine's suitability for a language. For instance, one type of speech recognition engine is preferred for certain languages whereas IBM ViaVoice is a good general all rounder. Choosing one speech recognition module according to application or function alone is not entirely satisfactory and there is a need for improvement. The present solution is to select, for each interaction, one of the speech technology modules from the plurality of the modules to be used by the application according to the environment property of the interaction.

    摘要： A voice processing system is disclosed having a first interface for receiving telephone calls from the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and application software for processing received PSTN telephone calls. The voice processing system supports an API to allow the first interface to inform the application software of the presence of the call. The voice processing system further has a second interface for receiving telephone calls from an internet protocol (IP) network, and a signaling subsystem for routing an IP call from the second interface to the application software. This signaling subsystem uses the same API as is used to inform the application software about PSTN calls. Therefore, it is transparent to the application software whether an incoming call has been received from the IP network rather than the PSTN.

    摘要翻译： 公开了一种语音处理系统，其具有用于接收来自公共交换电话网（PSTN）的电话呼叫的第一接口和用于处理接收的PSTN电话呼叫的应用软件。 语音处理系统支持API，以允许第一接口向应用软件通知呼叫的存在。 语音处理系统还具有用于从因特网协议（IP）网络接收电话呼叫的第二接口和用于将IP呼叫从第二接口路由到应用软件的信令子系统。 该信令子系统使用与用于通知应用软件有关PSTN呼叫的API相同的API。 因此，应用软件是否已经从IP网络而不是PSTN接收到来电是透明的。

    摘要： A data processor comprises storage (e.g., registers) for each of first, second and third values, a processor condition register for processor condition codes, and logic for decoding instructions including a specific instruction defining an operation between the first value and either the second value or the third value, the selection of the second or the third value being made by the processor in dependence on the state of said processor condition code. The invention is of particular, but not exclusive, application for the plotting of lines in a display system. In an example of a display system incorporating such a data processor, a pixel can be plotted on each processor instruction cycle.

    摘要： Delegation of processing functions to specialized appliances in an enterprise is provided. An appliance typically comprises a combination of hardware and resident firmware that addresses needs in a computing environment, such as by providing common message transformation, integration, security, filtering and other functions. Delegation is carried out by specifying at least one XML function for front-process offloading from a server to a corresponding appliance configured to receive messages pushed towards the server, communicating management directives to the appliance for configuring the appliance to perform the specified XML function(s) according to specific requirements dynamically specified by the server and communicating instructions to the appliance so that the appliance augments received event messages with intermediate processing information based upon the front-process offloading, as received event messages pass through the appliance.

    摘要： An interactive voice response (IVR) system comprises many different application objects which combine to deliver a voice application. These objects typically include IVR programs or scripts, prompts or voice segments and server scripts or programs for communicating with external systems or databases. Large voice applications can contain hundreds of application objects and potentially thousands of voice segments. The grouping of the application objects becomes more important in the later stages of the process. There is described a method of grouping data objects having different data categories, such as IVR programs or scripts, prompts or voice segments, in an application processing system. The method comprises associating a collection of such data objects with a group (a group such as the data objects within a voice application) and arranging the data objects into a sub-groups within the group where each sub-group corresponds to category of the data object (scripts, prompts, voice segments etc) and creating a graphical representation of the sub-groups using a graphical user interface.
