Abstract: A caller ID based call routing feature. A processing system in the public switched telephone network (PSTN) receives first identifying information for identifying the source of a telephone call and associates additional information stored in a memory with the first identifying information. The additional information may then be transmitted to the subscriber via the Internet for display. Another feature is a branch calling feature where the subscriber may program a processing system within the PSTN to forward an incoming call to two or more end units (e.g., telephones) simultaneously. If the call at an end unit is answered, answer supervision signaling is transmitted back to the processing system which then terminates all other calls. The processing system then connects the calling party to the subscriber. The branch calling may be made for any combination of local, long distance, and cellular telephone numbers.

Abstract translation: 基于呼叫者ID的呼叫路由功能。 公共交换电话网（PSTN）中的处理系统接收用于识别电话呼叫的源的第一识别信息，并将存储在存储器中的附加信息与第一识别信息相关联。 然后可以经由因特网将附加信息发送给用户进行显示。 另一个特征是分支呼叫功能，其中订户可以对PSTN内的处理系统进行编程，以将来话呼叫同时转发到两个或更多个终端单元（例如，电话）。 如果终端单元的呼叫被应答，应答监听信令被发送回处理系统，然后终止所有其他呼叫。 处理系统然后将呼叫方连接到用户。 分支呼叫可以用于本地，长途和蜂窝电话号码的任何组合。

Abstract: A network node, method, and mobile terminal for providing circuit-switched (CS) voice calls to a mobile terminal operating in a packet-switched (PS)-only network. A control node such as an EPC node in an SAE/LTE PS-only network is modified to mimic the messaging functionality of a Serving GPRS Service Node (SGSN). The EPC node is connected to an MSC/VLR in a CS network through a Gs interface. The EPC node registers the terminal with the MSC/VLR and provides a VLR TMSI to the terminal. When the MSC/VLR receives an incoming CS voice call for the terminal, the MSC/VLR notifies the EPC node, which sends a paging message to the terminal. To set up the CS voice call, the terminal sends a paging response directly to the MSC/VLR.

Abstract translation: 一种网络节点，方法和移动终端，用于向在分组交换（PS）仅网络中操作的移动终端提供电路交换（CS）语音呼叫。 修改SAE / LTE仅PS网络中的诸如EPC节点的控制节点以模拟服务GPRS服务节点（SGSN）的消息传递功能。 EPC节点通过Gs接口连接到CS网络中的MSC / VLR。 EPC节点向MSC / VLR注册终端，向终端提供VLR TMSI。 当MSC / VLR接收到终端的呼入CS语音呼叫时，MSC / VLR向终端通知发送寻呼消息的EPC节点。 为了建立CS语音呼叫，终端直接向MSC / VLR发送寻呼响应。

Abstract: A method and apparatus for a computer and telecommunication network which can receive, send and manage information from or to a subscriber of the network, based on the subscriber's configuration. The network is made up of at least one cluster containing voice servers which allow for telephony, speech recognition, text-to-speech and conferencing functions, and is accessible by the subscriber through standard telephone connections or through internet connections. The network also utilizes a database and file server allowing the subscriber to maintain and manage certain contact lists and administrative information. A web server is also connected to the cluster thereby allowing access to all functions through internet connections.

Abstract: The present invention enables users of packet-switched network services, e.g., VoIP network services, to hear a very gentle whispering tone that quietly conveys the identity of the calling party when they are engaged in conversation and to receive a call-waiting signal. The tone is audible only to the called party but does not mute the ongoing conversation path. This enables subscribed users to hear their ongoing conversation while receiving the whispering tone.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the system includes a processor, referred to herein as a tandem access controller (TAC), coupled to the PSTN, where the TAC allows a subscriber to set-up and make changes to the configuration of his or her phone line or other communications device. Such changes include selective call forwarding. In one embodiment, the TAC is controlled by the subscriber using the web. The TAC is coupled internally to the PSTN in a local service area and is outside the central office of the subscriber. A calling party makes a first call to the subscriber using the subscriber's public telephone number. The TAC receives the first call prior to the call reaching the subscriber's terminating central office, which in some cases avoids a toll. The TAC then carries out the subscriber's instructions for the first call, such as making one or more second calls using telephone numbers different from the subscriber's public telephone number. When the second call is answered, the answering phone is connected by the TAC to the caller.
