摘要:
The invention provides a method and an apparatus for placing a caller into telecommunication with a subscriber. A call from the caller, directed to the subscriber, is detected and, in response thereto, a page is initiated to the subscriber and at the same time a forward leg call is initiated to a stored telephone address. If the call on the forward leg is answered, the party answering that call is placed in telecommunication with the caller. A call from the subscriber is also detected the subscriber is placed in telecommunication with the caller together with any party on a forward leg call.

In a telecommunications system, a subscriber station invokes a sponsored-call application service program when the subscriber station originates a call. Based upon certain criteria, service logic determines whether the call is sponsored or not. If sponsored, additional service logic utilizes the location of the call origination (i.e., location of the subscriber station) and/or other attributes of the subscriber station to select an announcement from a plurality of announcements for transmission to the subscriber station. After the announcement is transmitted (i.e., played), the subscriber station is connected to the call's desired destination. If not sponsored, the call is handled as a normal call.

A remotely accessible telephone control system for connection to a telephone circuit from a telephone exchange. The system includes a detector for detecting signals on the telephone circuit, a signal generator responsive to control signals to produce predetermined signals and apply those signals to the telephone circuit; a memory; and a central processing unit programmed for monitoring signals on the telephone circuit as detected by the detector, accessing the memory and producing and applying predetermined control signals to the signal generator. The central processing unit also identifyies a call to the system from a remote user, identifyies an indication from the remote user for a desired call transfer, receives and stores a transfer number from the remote user, produces control signals to cause the signal generator to apply appropriate signals to the telephone circuit to complete a call to the transfer number, and further activating the telephone exchange to connect the remote user to the transfer number.

Apparatus, method and system for notifying a communications switching center that a subsequent communication directed to a wireless number associated with the wireless unit is to be routed to a directory number associated with the wireless unit. A converter may be provided and connected to a current source and to a communications switching center. The wireless unit may be connected to the converter, and if connected, the unit draws current therefrom. In response to the draw of current by the wireless unit through the converter, the converter transmits a message to the communications switching center. The message includes a notification that a subsequent communication directed to the wireless number associated with the wireless unit is to be routed to the directory number associated with the wireless unit.

To support communications system repairability, a scalable multi-level data bit stream, capable of supporting variable bandwidth ATM network access, includes an embedded operation channel used by a transport network management system to support connection maintenance, performance monitoring, path tracing, service management and testing functionalities. The transport network management system effectuates a service specific convergence sub-layer functionality to convert between Common Management Information Protocol (CMIP) formatted operation and maintenance managed objects and a message format for the embedded operation channel data. The conversion comprises a Remote Operations Service Element (ROSE) encapsulation, with the encapsulated data incorporated within the embedded operation channel of the multi-level data bit stream. An interface is provided with the ATM network through an ATM adaptation layer to segment the multi-level data bit stream into a plurality of ATM cells. Operation and maintenance message communication with the transport network management system is provided for both wireless and wireline communications systems accessing the ATM network.

A method for returning a voice mail message for a subscriber of a voice mail service. The method includes the steps of accessing the voice mail service on a second calling line on the public switched telephone network, playing a first voice mail message for the subscriber, the first voice mail message having been received on a first calling line from a source and the first calling line number having been recorded, receiving a call back indication from the subscriber, automatically generating a call to the source, connecting the subscriber to the first calling line, monitoring the call to determine when the call is terminated, and returning the subscriber to the voice mail service.

The present invention provides method and apparatus processing incoming telephone calls directed to a user. Signals representative of telephone network addresses are stored in a memory. An incoming telephone call from a caller is processed, including communicating information to the caller indicating that the incoming call can be routed to any one of at least two telephone network addresses. The transmission by the caller of a command corresponding to the desired telephone network address is detected and, in response thereto, the incoming call is routed to a telephone network address represented in the memory corresponding to the command transmitted by the caller. Predetermined signals are generated, which to the caller indicate normal call processing operation, but which to the user indicate that the user can transmit a signal to gain access to system provided functions. Receipt of that signal from the user is detected, and, upon receipt of that signal, routing of the call to the telephone network address is terminated (if initiated) and instead the user is transferred to a system command mode.

A personal communications internetwork provides a personal communications internetwork providing a network subscriber with the ability to remotely control the receipt and delivery of wireless and wireline electronic text messages. The network operates as an interface between wireless and wireline networks. The subscriber's message receipt and delivery options are maintained in a database which the subscriber may access by wireless or wireline communications to update the options programmed in the database.

The Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN) wireline system connects to and controls processing of calls to a Personal Communication Service subscriber's wireless handset via a home base station or a wireless communication network. Depending on its current location, the subscriber's handset automatically registers with the base station or with a mobility controller of the wireless network. A new registration with the base station when the handset comes within range causes that station to update the subscriber's home location register in a central data base of the AIN. Similarly, when a handset first registers with a mobility controller, that controller updates the subscriber's home location register in the central data base of the AIN. In response to calls directed to the subscriber, the AIN accesses the home location register to determine the current location where the handset is registered. The AIN then uses that data to route the call to the current location. In response to calls from the handset, the central data base provides instruction data to the land line network and/or a mobility controller to extend a requested special service to the calling subscriber.

A simplified system and method is provided for effecting registration in a system for routing a call to a subscriber to a personal telephone number service in an integrated wired and wireless communication network by utilizing in association with a pair of land line terminals designated by the subscriber one or two adjunct registration devices. In a manual version a registration device is situated at the site of the subscriber premise terminal and registration in the ISCP of the advanced intelligent network (AIN) of the wireline system is effected by subscriber actuation of the manual device. In an automated version the registration device at the site of the terminal includes a transceiver for emitting a periodic low power and limited range scanning signal to detect the presence of a key chain device carried by the subscriber. This device includes a miniature transceiver to effect a handshake exchange with the stationary registration device upon entering its vicinity. Both embodiments may be provided with a second control for establishing a blocking and/or call forwarding condition in the user profile in the central office switch which contains that profile.
