    摘要: A method for providing access to services during communication between subscribers over a communication path on a switched communication network is provided. In a first step, the injection of a DTMF service request signal by a first subscriber is detected. In a second step, a service is provided to a subscriber that corresponds to the DTMF service request signal from a set of services. The set of services includes a service that terminates the communication path to a second subscriber.

    摘要: A computer connected to an ISDN switch via an ISDN digital subscriber line, has shared cell appearances with a number of telephone stations connected to the switch and on the basis of shared call appearance associated messages from the switch, controls the forwarding of calls directed to the stations with which it has a shared call appearance. The associated messages are interpreted by the computer, which generates station status information. The computer responds to messages associated with predefined ones of the stations to select an alternate destination for the call and to transmit ISDN messages to the switch to cause the call to be forwarded to the selected alternate destination. Calls may be forwarded depending on call type, called number or other criteria. The computer responds to calls forwarded to it in the event that an associated station is busy and connects a holding party to the principal phone when the principal phone is no longer busy. The computer may be connected simultaneously to several ISDN switches via ISDN subscriber lines to receive shared call appearance associated messages from the several switching systems and forward calls for a telephone station connected to one switch, to a telephone station connected to another switch.In order to handle voice message recording, an ISDN line shares the directory numbers of the analog lines connecting a switch to a message recording system. The ISDN line then receives all messages destined for the lines connected to the message switch. The ISDN line is connected to an interface for converting between ISDN messages and data messages for controlling the message recording system. Avdantageously, this permits an ISDN switch to provide an inexpensive interface to a voice message system.

    摘要: A method allowing a customer to define its telephone service within flexible boundaries for calls directed to the customer. Within constraints imposed by the selected embodiment, the method reduces software development traditionally associated with the provision of new services. A plurality of independent call processing capabilities, such as announcement, digit collection, billing, etc., are provided at a switching office. A program defined by a customer is executed in response to each call to the customer. The program makes decisions based on the parameters of the call, such as time, ANI, information digits requested and received from the caller, etc., and links together the appropriate ones of the capabilities in the proper order to dispose of the call based on the call parameters as specified in the program. A customer service may be modified by changing the customer program.

    摘要: An interactive voice response (IVR) system which assists in identifying repeat callers, understanding whether they are calling for the same reason as one of their previous calls, and properly disposing of the call. If the repeat caller is calling for the same reason, information from the previous call (or the previous calls) is retrieved and an action based on a defined business logic for repeat callers may then be executed for the current call.

    摘要: A switch device adapted to interface an incoming telephone line and an internal telephone system comprising a telephone, a facsimile machine, and an auxiliary device such as a modem, answering machine, or another telephone. The switch device automatically receives and answers incoming communications and asks for an identifying code from the caller which will characterize the incoming communication. After characterizing the incoming call, the switch device then alerts the telephone user or the facsimlile machine or the auxiliary device that there is an incoming communication. The non-alerted units are blocked out. A programming mode is provided to prioritize or selectively channel calls that are unidentifiable by the switch device to a preselected default device so that no incoming calls will be lost.

    摘要: Apparatus for a telephone switch, e.g. a tandem switch, for providing a telephonic mass announcement service and methods for use therein in providing passive and/or interactive announcements as well as interactive mass announcement based custom call routing services. Specifically, mass announcements are provided by connecting an announcement circuit as one input to a time-space-time (T/S/T) switch located within a tandem telephone switch and permitting the central processor that controls the tandem switch to establish a time slot connection between that circuit and any caller. Digitized announcements are stored in a main announcement store contained within the tandem switch.

    摘要: A method for controlling audiotex services which is analogous to the method by which users operate conventional commercial radios is disclosed. In accordance with the inventive method, upon dialing a general audiotex telephone number, the user hears what sounds like the slow changing of stations on a radio. The effect is produced by successively transmitting to the caller a short excerpt from each of a plurality of available audiotex services. The caller may stop the scanning of the audiotex services at any particular audiotex service by pressing a particular key on the telephone keypad. Other keys may be used to resume the scanning of the audiotex services in the forward or reverse directions and at a slow or fast speed. Some of the keys on the user's telephone keypad may be used as memory keys. When a user presses one of these memory keys, access to a particular audiotex service is immediately provided.
