International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

379219, 37920101

Abstract:

A method of managing communications received by a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) terminating at a residence associated with a subscriber is disclosed. The DSL is divided into one baseband line, one or more derived lines and a data connection. A query is received from a Service Control Point (SCP) for subscriber preferences for handling an incoming communication. The query is translated into an Internet Protocol (IP) message and communicated to a web server. A Common Gateway Interface (CGI) application module is invoked that corresponds to the particular type of communication being sent to the residence. The subscriber's preferences for handling the particular type of communication are retrieved from a database. Based on the retrieved preferences and invoked CGI application, call handling instructions are sent to the SCP.

International Classification:

H04M001/64
H04M003/42

US Classification:

379/088170, 379/088220

Abstract:

A call management system responsive to subscriber preferences for handling incoming voice calls of a subscriber having on-line IP network capability. When the subscriber occupies a line, a controller activates an Internet presence server that determines online status by checking IP activity at the subscriber's IP address. If the subscriber is online and has indicated a preference to accept calls, the controller activates a pop-up screen at the subscriber's terminal to display menu options to handle the call, such as answering via VoIP, text-to-speech synthesis, forwarding the call to a specific number, or sending the call to voicemail. A voicemail message may also be sent to an email account as an audio file or as a pager alert with short message text. The system may be centrally located within a network or integrated with subscriber premises equipment. Certain management features may also be disabled dynamically in response to on-line status.

US Classification:

370/352000, 370/395520

Abstract:

A call management method that provides for handling, according to subscriber-designated preferences, an incoming voice call to the subscriber while logged on a network. When the subscriber occupies a line, the method includes activating an Internet presence server that determines online status by checking IP activity at the subscriber's IP address. If the subscriber is online and has indicated a preference to accept calls, a pop-up screen is activated at the subscriber's terminal to display menu options to handle the call, such as answering via VoIP, text-to-speech synthesis, forwarding the call to a specific number, or sending the call to voicemail. A voicemail message may also be sent to an e-mail account as an audio file or as a pager alert with short message text. Certain management features may be disabled dynamically in response to the on-line status of the subscriber.
