An apparatus and method for receiving a telephone call from a calling party preferably via a telephone exchange, which telephone call is placed to a called party apparatus. The receiving apparatus, on the basis of predetermined selection criteria, delivers predetermined messages to the calling party; screens the telephone call from the calling party; or re-routes the telephone call from the calling party. The receiving apparatus includes an interaction arrangement for receiving the telephone call, for obtaining identification information relating to the calling party, and for transferring the identification information to a processor. The processor is responsive to the interaction arrangement, for accessing a database which has stored the predetermined selection criteria, predetermined messages, predetermined screening information, and predetermined re-routing information, the processor using the indentification information as a retrieval key for the predetermined selection criteria, and for using the predetermined criteria to determine whether to (a) cause the interaction arrangement to have the calling party connected with the called party apparatus; (b) provide predetermined message information to the calling party; (c) screen the telephone call from the calling; or (d) re-route the telephone call from the calling party.

摘要:
A method and apparatus for processing incoming telephone calls to a telephone control system. The apparatus includes a memory for storing electronic signals including signals representative of telephone network addresses and a processing unit for processing an incoming telephone call from a caller. Information is communicated by the processing unit to said caller indicating that the incoming call can be routed (e.g. branched) to any one of at least two telephone network destinations. The processing unit responds to the transmission by the caller of a command corresponding to the desired telephone network address by routing the incoming call to the telephone network address corresponding to the command transmitted by said caller.
摘要:
A communication switch apparatus and a method for use in a geographically extensive serial, parallel or hybrid communication network linking a multi-processor or parallel processing system has a very low software processing overhead in order to accommodate random burst of high density data. Associated with each processor is a communication switch. A data source and a data destination, a sensor suite or robot for example, may also be associated with a switch. The configuration of the switches in the network are coordinated through a master processor node and depends on the operational phase of the multi-processor network: data acquisition, data processing, and data exchange. The master processor node passes information on the state to be assumed by each switch to the processor node associated with the switch. The processor node then operates a series of multi-state switches internal to each communication switch. The communication switch does not parse and interpret communication protocol and message routing information. During a data acquisition phase, the communication switch couples sensors producing data to the processor node associated with the switch, to a downlink destination on the communications network, or to both. It also may couple an uplink data source to its processor node. During the data exchange phase, the switch couples its processor node or an uplink data source to a downlink destination (which may include a processor node or a robot), or couples an uplink source to its processor node and its processor node to a downlink destination.
摘要:
A telephone control system connects to the telephone line from a telephone exchange. The control system includes a detector for detecting signals on the line, a signal generator for producing and applying control signals to the telephone line, memory for storing electronic signals and a central processor for monitoring signals on the line as detected by the detector, accessing the memory to produce and apply control signals to the signal generator. The control system is programmable to provide a variety of controllable functions to a remote user including activation of the conferencing/transferring function provided by the telephone exchange to allow a user to sequentially complete successive phone calls through the control system without the user hanging-up, or to redirect calls to pre-programmed, remotely controllable numbers. In addition, the control system is capable of receiving, storing and redirecting messages to pagers.

An apparatus is provided for charging memories in a telecommunication exchange which includes line modules (LIM). These have communication paths for communication with terminals and possibly external apparatus, and have a control computer (LPU) for maintaining communication between terminals or between a terminal and external apparatus. The communication between terminals connected to different modules is set up via a digital group selector. To enable writing from a data information source (BS, TS) to all the module control computers in a single process through a module (LIM 1) selected as a main unit, the data information to be written is preceded by conditioning information (INP 1, INP 2, etc). This actuates a loading means (UPK) for establishing a connection to an addressed module (LIM 1-LIM 32) with the aid of initial information written into an unchangeable memory (MIN) in the module. Furthermore, it adjusts a decoding means (AVK) in correspondence with an identity number assigned to the module until all modules are conditioned and connected to the data information source via a common communication path. Each of the modules can only take the data information for which its decoding means is adjusted. A terminal signal in the data information disconnects all the modules connected to the common communication path.

A common control for a community office (C.O.) switching system includes two interactive processors. One of these interactive processors is a call control processor which comprises the uppermost element in the control hierarchy. It is a stored program processor and its functions include: (i) control of call progression, (ii) marking paths through the matrix switch network, and translations. The other of these interactive processors is a port event processor. It is a construction of electronic logic circuitry known as "combinatorial logic". The port event processor operates on the principle of the combinatorial logic being sequentially coupled to every one of the port equipment positions over a 4 millisecond scan cycle. A pair of functional units of the port event processor provide the common control capability to sense or transmit supervisory events. These function units also interact with the call control processor in a way which permits the latter to function as the uppermost hierarchical element of the common control with substantially no burden of performing real-time tasks connected with port events. The interaction between the call control processor and the port event processor is effected through a port data store which provides an individual port data field per port equipment position. In general, each port data field is accessible to either of the interactive processors.
摘要:
A dual tone multifrequency and dial pulse receiver that receives 8000 digital data words per second, each of the data words including eight PCM bits representing the analog signal transmitted from a subscriber set and also including a line status bit indicating the DC status of the line. The receiver includes a time-shared processor which processes the PCM bits of 4000 words per second to detect tone-pairs and which also processes the line status bit of 4000 words per second to detect valid dial pulse sequences. The time-shared processor stores one of a first plurality of code words in a register when a tone-pair is detected and stores one of a second plurality of code words in the register when a valid dial pulse sequence is detected. Advantageously, the receiver can detect either dual tone multifrequency or dial pulse signaling from a subscriber even though the type of signaling to be used by the subscriber is not known a priori.
