Abstract: Methods, devices, signals, and systems are provided in a message routing architecture which provides improved capabilities for integrating “digital” communication through email messages with “analog” communication through voice and/or fax or pager messages. Email can be addressed using nothing more than a standard telephone or fax number. If the registered owner of the telephone or fax number has a corresponding email address, then the invention converts the telephone or fax number to the email address for delivery and uses standard email delivery systems to deliver the message. If no conventional delivery email address is known, or if the message sender or recipient specify multiple delivery modes, then the email message content is transformed into voice, pager and/or fax content and delivered to the recipient using the telephone or fax number which was specified as the email address. Familiar telecommunications services such as call forwarding and selective call blocking can also be used with messages that originate as email. The invention also supports use of telecommunications numbers as indexes into databases which contain public key certificates, to make it unnecessary for a proposed message recipient to provide its public key expressly in advance to each particular proposed message originator.

Abstract translation: 在消息路由架构中提供了方法，设备，信号和系统，其提供通过语音和/或传真或寻呼机消息通过电子邮件与“模拟”通信集成“数字”通信的改进的能力。 电子邮件只能使用标准电话或传真号码进行寻址。 如果电话或传真号码的注册所有者具有相应的电子邮件地址，则本发明将电话或传真号码转换为电子邮件地址以进行传送，并使用标准电子邮件传递系统来传递消息。 如果没有常规的递送邮件地址是已知的，或者如果消息发送者或收件人指定多个传递模式，则电子邮件消息内容被转换成语音，寻呼机和/或传真内容，并使用电话或传真号码 指定为电子邮件地址。 诸如呼叫转移和选择性呼叫阻止之类的熟悉的电信服务也可以与作为电子邮件发起的消息一起使用。 本发明还支持将电信号码用作包含公共密钥证书的数据库的索引，使得提议的消息接收者不必预先向每个特定的提议的消息发起者提供其公钥。
