A system and method for announcing and handling incoming telephone calls utilizes a distributed processing architecture. The distributed processing architecture makes use of local devices that can be located at various different locations where the user is often located. For instance, local devices could be at a user's home, a user's office and/or on a user's mobile device. The local devices are linked such than when there is an incoming telephone call directed to any one of multiple telephone numbers associated with the user, an announcement of the incoming call is provided at all of the user's locations. The user is also able to specify how the incoming call is to be handled on a call-by-call basis. The user may also be able to specify default call handling instructions so that an incoming telephone call directed to one of the user's telephone numbers is received by a device normally associated with a different one of the user's telephone numbers. The system allows the user to selectively forward incoming telephone calls to another specified number on a call-by-call basis.

A system plays audio prompts to a user as part of a voice application. If the user begins to provide input in response to the audio prompt before the audio prompt is finished playing, the volume of the audio prompt is reduced, but the audio prompt continues to play. If the user finishes providing his input and the system is able to interpret the input before the audio prompt finishes, the audio prompt will halt and the system will take further action in accordance with the user's input. If the user finishes providing his input while the audio prompt is still playing, and the system is unable to interpret the input, the volume of the audio prompt will increase back to the original volume level until either the audio prompt finishes playing, or the user again begins to provide input.

A voicemail system is capable of recording multiple personalized voicemail greetings for multiple individual potential calling parties. When a call is received by the voicemail system, the identity of the calling party is determined. This can be accomplished through caller ID information for the incoming call, or by interpreting spoken input provided by the calling party. If a personalized voicemail greeting has been established for the calling party, then the personalized voicemail greeting is played to the calling party. If no personalized voicemail greeting has been established for the calling party, a generic voicemail greeting is played to the calling party.

A system that is capable of receiving and interpreting a user's spoken commands is also coupled to a television interface device that controls video programming content displayed the user's television. The user can speak commands to cause certain programs to be played, and to control various functions of the television. The system can track and analyze a user's video viewing habits. In addition, the system is able to determine which of multiple users might be interested in a particular video program, and the system can play marketing messages regarding that video program to those users that might be interested in viewing the video program.

A system and method for allowing a telemarketer to place a series of telephone calls to called parties utilizes a distributed processing architecture. This allows the telemarketer to utilize data stored at remote locations to help interact with called parties. In addition, the telemarketer can utilize telephone assets to quickly and easily place multiple simultaneous calls to different called parties.

As a user interacts with a voice application, a history of the prompts played to the user and the users responses are displayed to the user. The displayed prompts and displayed responses could be summaries of the prompts and responses, or they could be full transcriptions of the prompts and responses. A user may be able to select a prompt or response in the history to return to a certain point in the voice application. It may be possible for a user to save a history of the interactions that occurred when a voice application was performed, and to recall the history to continue on from a selected location in the history.

An unconnected power save method reduces the battery consumption of a wireless station in a wireless local area network (WLAN). A wireless station enters a sleep mode between scans for a prospective access point. The sleep duration time is determined using the current position of the station relative to the WLAN network topology.

An enhanced services display message protocol (ESDMP) facilitates display of messages in a compliant analog telephony device (ATD). An exemplary gateway device in a voice over packet (VOP) network can activate enhanced services in a compliant ATD using the ESDMP and includes a controller and first and second interfaces. One of the interfaces can transmit and receive communications over a VOP network. The other interface can transmit and receive voice band message data modulated according to a frequency shift keying (FSK) protocol. The ESDMP can be used to configure the gateway to activate features supported by the ATD, to update call state information and to display feature state information.

A fixed communication device includes a transceiver operable to transmit and receive communications to a gateway, and a processor cooperatively operable with the transceiver. The processor is configured to facilitate establishing a foreign exchange office (FXO) connection to the gateway over the transceiver; formatting a message in a multiple data message format (MDMF) message format; and transmitting the message from the transceiver to the gateway using frequency shift keying (FSK) modulation, after the FXO connection is established
摘要:
A network infrastructure device in a voice over packet (VOP) network includes a transceiver and a processor. The transceiver can transmit and receive communications over a VOP network. The processor, responsive to receipt of a call setup information request (CIReq) specifying a particular target, can associate a public identifier with the particular target, and map the public identifier to an internet protocol (IP) address responsive to a communication. Also, the processor can identify communications to and/or from the particular target with the IP address. Further, responsive to receiving communications to and/or from the IP address, the processor can transmit the communications to a law enforcement agency (LEA) collection device.
