摘要： A method and apparatus for providing intelligent paging services is disclosed. A server receives a paging request from a customer. The page request may be, for example, a telephone call initiated by the customer from a telephone. The server then determines the identity of the customer who initiated the page request and (if necessary) the condition which prompted the identified customer to initiate the page request. The identity and condition information is then used to identify a predetermined list of one or more parties who should be contacted on behalf of the customer and how they should be contacted. Examples of the contact methods the server may execute include making a telephone call to a designated number via a public switched telephone network (PSTN), sending a page to a designated pager via the PSTN, and/or sending an electronic mail (e-mail) message to an Internet protocol (IP) addressable device via an IP network.

摘要： We have recognized that in the prior art, to insure that there is at least some communication between the calling and called parties, when the called party is unavailable to take a call, the calling party may be connected to an alternate destination, e.g., a voice messaging system, and the caller's telephone call is considered completed. If the called party thereafter becomes available, the called party is not connected to the caller's telephone call. However, in accordance with the principles of the invention, this problem is overcome by, in response to receipt of an indication that the called party is available for a caller's telephone call after the caller's telephone call has already been connected to an alternate destination, a) disconnecting the caller's telephone call from the alternate destination and, instead, b) connecting it the called party, thus interrupting the connection between the caller and the alternate destination. Optionally, a tone or announcement may be supplied to the caller to indicate that the called party will now be connected "live" to the caller.

摘要： A method and apparatus for prioritizing telephone calls that allow the caller to specify priority criteria relating to a call and the recipient to specify priority criteria relating to the treatment of incoming calls. The caller designates priority of the call based on specified priority criteria. The caller's specified priority criteria is stored in a database in the telephone service provider's network, is retrieved from the database when the caller places a call and is transmittal with the call through the telephone network. The call recipient designates specified priority criteria for incoming calls. The call recipient's specified priority criteria is stored in a database and is retrieved from the database in response to incoming calls. The treatment of a call, i.e. connection, termination or redirection, is based on comparison of the caller's specified priority criteria and the call recipient's specified priority criteria.

摘要： In providing personal telephone calling capability as a service, for reliability purposes, it is necessary to have available several independent meet-me systems, to provide redundant capability in the event of a failure of any one of them. Each meet-me system has at least 1) one meet-me bridge and 2) its own telephone trunks directly connecting it to the telephone network over which it receives return calls. A problem with doing so is insuring that the return call is properly bridged to the caller's call when a) the telephone number for the return call is a predetermined translatable telephone number and b) the particular one of the meet-me systems to which the caller's call is connected is determined only upon receiving in the network the call placed by the caller. To overcome this problem, at least each time a caller's call is routed to different one of the meet-me systems, the network routing data base which translates the dialed translatable telephone number of the return telephone call into a network routing telephone number is updated so that it will direct a return call for the caller's call to the same meet-me system to which the caller's call was routed. Advantageously, a hot-spare standby is not needed for each meet-me system. Instead, one additional meet-me system provides the capability to back-up the failure of any single one of the other meet-me systems.
摘要翻译：为提供个人电话呼叫能力作为服务，出于可靠的目的，有必要提供几个独立的会议系统，以便在发生任何一个失败的情况下提供冗余能力。每个会议系统至少有一个会议桥，2）自己的电话中继线直接连接到接收返回电话的电话网络。这样做的一个问题是确保当a）用于返回呼叫的电话号码是预定的可翻译电话号码时，返回呼叫被适当地桥接到呼叫者的呼叫，以及b）呼叫者的只有在网络中接收到呼叫者发出的呼叫才能确定呼叫连接。为了克服这个问题，至少每当呼叫者的呼叫被路由到不同的会议系统时，将更改拨号的可转换电话号码的网络路由数据库转换成网络路由电话号码，从而被更新它会将呼叫者的呼叫定向到与路由呼叫者的呼叫相同的会议系统。有利地，每个会议系统不需要热备用待机。相反，一个额外的会议系统提供了备份其他任何一个会议系统的故障的能力。

摘要： Calls to geographically limited toll-free telephone numbers, when originated from outside the predefined geographic region, are completed, but not at the called party's expense, by a) indicating to the caller that the telephone call, which otherwise will be blocked, will be completed on his behalf if the caller provides for payment of the cost of the call and b) completing the call if a signal is received from the caller indicating that the caller agrees to pay the cost of the call. Advantageously, the caller is not automatically charged for what he believed would be a free telephone call. The caller may pay for the call by charging it to any conventionally available account for charging telephone calls to which the caller is authorized to charge charges. If the account associated with the caller's telephone is selected by the caller for charging the call, a further test is made to determine if the ability to charge the cost of such geographically-limited toll-free calls to the account has been blocked. If the ability to charge the cost of such calls to the account has been blocked, the caller is offered the option of selecting a different method of payment for the call. Alternatively, the direct dial telephone number to which the 800-type telephone number translates may be announced to the caller, so that he may dial it directly himself on a subsequent call.

摘要： Telephone calls and corresponding caller identification information are delivered to a multi-line user having a plurality of agent terminals by a plurality of communications lines with one of the communications lines being a common voice-data communications line. All telephone calls and corresponding caller identification information are routed over respective voice and data channels in the common voice-data communications line, if such line is not busy with a previous caller to the multi-line user. If such line is busy, then the caller identification information is routed over the data channel of the common voice-data communications line while the call is routed over one of the other communications lines.

摘要： A technique for monitoring the calls placed to the telephone number associated with the party under surveillance. When a call to the telephone number associated with party under surveillance is placed, the call is routed via an assigned meet-me bridge, and a third party is provided with the unique telephone number of the meet-me bridge via a pager. When the third party places a call to the assigned meet-me bridge, the incoming call to the party under surveillance and the call by the third party are bridged. Thereon, the third party is placed on mute and the third party may silently listen to the conversation between the caller and the called party. When a call (i.e., a page) to a telephone number associated with a pager of the party under surveillance is received, a third party is alerted. Also, in response to the page, when the party under surveillance uses a specific calling card to place a return call, the return call is routed via a meet-me bridge having a unique number, and the third party is provided with this unique number. When the third party places a call to this unique number, that call is routed to the assigned meet-me bridge, and the return call and the call by the third party are bridged. Thereon, the third party is placed on mute and the third party may listen to the return call conversation.
