    摘要: This invention overcomes the problem of delay associated with establishing connections with individual phones by providing a method for sending a virtual real time voice message processed through a VOIP system to a group of phones concurrently. The method includes assembling a portion of the voice message. The voice message includes a voice portion and an address portion. The voice portion of the voice message is buffered in a digital buffer. The address portion is used to determine the address of each phone in the group. After the address of each phone in the group is determined, an attempt is made to establish a connection with each phone. The method further includes waiting for a period of time. The period of time is determined based at least in part on a time duration required to establish a connection with a phone. After waiting the period of time, the voice portion of the voice message is sent to at least one phone in the group of phones.

    摘要: A method and system for sending information to a pager regarding information pertaining to a previously occurring telephone call. After receiving a call offered to a called party, a signal is transmitted from a switch to a service control point, which then obtains transmitted information relating to the call. A signal is transmitted from a service control point to a switch to instruct the switch to process the call. Another signal including the information relating to the call is transmitted preferably from the service control point to a service node and then to a communications service provider. The communications service provider is preferably a paging service provider which transmits a page including the information relating to the call to a pager associated with the called party. The information relating to the call then may be displayed on the pager.

    摘要: A network based voice mail system without losing any of the advantages of traditional answering machines includes a small device, which looks like an answering machine and costs about the same, and three-way calling service. The small device (called a Remote Answering Device) looks just like an ordinary answering machine. It has a speaker, a message number indicator and the basic play back control buttons like nullplaynull, nulldeletenull, nullstopnull, nullrewindnull, nullskipnull, etc. When a call comes in that is not answered by a human, the Remote Answering Device will pick up after a preselected number of rings and play a prerecorded greeting that is stored locally and then prompt the caller to wait for the beep. The Remote Answering Device then uses three-way calling service to conference the user's voice mail number into the call, by sending a hook flash signal and speed dialing the user's voice mail number. When conference a call is established it plays the beep and then plays the message which is being recording live on the speaker. The caller can skip the greeting by pressing any button, like with most traditional answering machines. After answering a call, the Remote Answering Device constantly senses the impedance of the telephone line to detect if any of the extension phones is being picked up. If an extension is picked up, the Remote Answering Device drops the conference call by sending another hook flash signal and hangs up. The user can then talk normally with the caller. Since the Remote Answering Device answered all calls it knows how many messages have been left and can indicate this number on its display. The user can press a simple nullplaynull button to play back the messages. The Remote Answering Device will automatically call up the user's voice mail box and start playing the messages. If a call is received by the network based voice mail system that did not first pass through the Remote Answering Device, e.g., because the line was busy or out, the network based voice mail system sends a page to the Remote Answering Device that identifies the correct message count in the queue. The Remote Answering Device includes a paging receiver that receives the message and sends the correct count to a processor that updates the message count indicator.

    摘要: Customer management for an establishment involves operating a server that hosts system software and interacts with various computing devices over internet and wireless network gateway connections. The server communicates with devices at the establishment and customer computing devices in real-time, providing system performance updates, text messaging communications to the customer regarding table availability and marketing information and synchronizing the information communicated within the system. A computer user interface at the establishment communicates with the server and allows an establishment host to capture and transmit customer information to the server and make of the server processing requests that can include sending text message alert notifications to a customer mobile device informing of an available table and providing marketing messages. A secondary device, operated by a waiter of the establishment, communicates with the computing devices of the system and can receive communications, such as customer attention requests, from the customer mobile device.
