Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a device to control wide variety of services by allowing PSTN users to make communication with a call management resource via a network at the outside of a public switched telephone network PSTN and a device adaptive to communication with the call management resource. SOLUTION: A customer's computer 30 directly communicates with a system 31 that is a TAI component of a telephone station and of a PSTN via a public data network 32 at the outside of the PSTN and servers 33, 34 managed by the PSTN. The server 33 is a data server linking to an external data network. The server 34 acts as a firewall server that protects the system 31 being a service management system of a telephone company against an illegal access from an unauthenticated person and that interacts with the server 33. The arbitration by a service personnel in charge is eliminated by a function of a component in the system 31, and a customer executes a desired revision of a service or a function with a computer and a web 32 via the servers 33, 34.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a unique house-use adaptor supported by services rendered by an exclusive server/gateway for a board band network and their networks by attaining path designation of a telephone service between a telephone set and a PSTN or the broad band network and path designation of a data communication service between a computer and a network. SOLUTION: An adaptor 22, connected to a house computer 20 supports call processing of one telephone set or between a plurality of telephone sets 27, via a cable network 21 or a local exchange center(LEC) 28 in cooperation with the computer 20. On the occurrence of a power supply failure, an adaptor 22 connects the telephone set 27 to the LEC 28 as a default connection. Furthermore, an incoming call to the telephone set 27 and an outgoing call from the telephone set 27 receives selective path designation under the condition set by a logic value in the inside of the adaptor 22 to the LEC 28 or the cable network 21 as a function of various conditions.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To overcome the restriction of a conference at both of a public exchange telephone network(PSTN) and its external network by supplying a conference server with a link to an external network for the PSTN. SOLUTION: A new element exists in a conference control center and is related with at least a data route. This center 2a includes a conference managing system 20a and a conference server system 30. The system 30 is a computer system which is maintained and managed by the PSTN and suited to communication, and includes connection 31 to a conference managing system such as the system 20a. By rough integration with the call managing resource of the PSTN, the system 30 becomes capable of controlling a service relatively executed to a conventional PSTN conference connection in response to a signal sent through the external route of the PSTN. The example of the external route of the PSTN is the external connection 32 to a web.

Abstract: A conference server system, for internal use in the public switched telephone network (PSTN), links to public data communication networks (e.g. the Internet) for distributing computer displayable data between participants in voice telephone conferences. The server system includes a computer sub-system for storing data generated by the participants and distributing the data in coordination with voice presentations of respective participants. Data so stored and distributed includes computer-displayable data. Other data handled by the computer subsystem represents commands and functional requests issued by participants which pertain to the handling of computer-displayable data and voice parameters of the conference. conference participants, having separate and concurrent access to both the PSTN and the data network, receive and view computer-displayable data prepared by one of the participants in coordination with the respective voice conference. The conference server system connects to voice conference management resources of the PSTN in a manner enabling the server system to control voice parameters of a voice conference in response to data requests received from participants (e.g. requests from hearing-impaired participants for enhanced audio service), as well as enabling the conference management resources to control functions performed in respect to distribution of displayable data in response to spoken requests uttered by the participants, when the telephone system contains appropriate speech recognition equipment.

Abstract: A system, method and apparatus for Video-on-demand (VOD) satisfying the desire of 'surfers'. The process entails a server operating in a standard Near-Video-on-demand (NVOD) mode, whereby it repeatedly transmits multiple copies of each program on separate channels. Each copy is delayed by a stagg eredtime interval. The server also repeatedly transmits a beginning portion of each NVOD program of a duration up to the staggered time interval. The invention provides a way to fulfill a VOD user requests asynchronous with the start of a NVOD transmission but which still makes primary use of the NVOD transmission for thatrequestor. The invention further advantageously prov ides fixed asset utilization in a predictable manner.

Abstract: A conference server system, for internal use in the public switched telephon e network (PSTN), links to public data communication networks (e.g. the Internet) for distributing computer displayable data between participants in voice telephone conference s. The server system includes a computer sub-system for storing data generated by t he participants and distributing the data in coordination with voice presentati ons of respective participants. Data so stored and distributed includes computer-displayable d ata. Other data handled by the computer subsystem represents commands and functional re quests issued by participants which pertain to the handling of computer-displayable data and voice parameters of the conference. Conference participants, having separate and c oncurrent access to both the PSTN and the data network, receive and view computer-disp layable data prepared by one of the participants in coordination with the respective voice conference. The conference server system connects to voice conference manage mentresources of the PSTN in a manner enabling the serve r system to control voice parameters of a voice conference in response to data requests received from participants (e.g. requests from hearing-impaired participants for enhanced audio service ), as well as enabling the conference management resources to control functions performed in respect to distribution of displayable data in response to spoken requests uttered b y the participants, when the telephone system contains appropriate speech recognit ion equipment. Telephone system conferences utilizing the present conference ser ver system have the advantage of being usable to support voice-only and/or data-only pa rticipants (participants respectively linked to only the voice or data distribution par ts of a conference session), as well as to provide conference service between exactly two parti cipants which may be more effective than comparable services that the same two participant s would obtain using a direct dial-up telephone connection for voice and a public da ta network connection completely isolated from the voice conference management resource s of the PSTN to exchange data.

Abstract: This invention allows customers and other users of the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) to enable, disable or modify special services provided by the net work. The PSTN is defined here as all equipment world wide (land-based, radio or other ) enabling ordinary telephone users to connect to other telephone users, but exclu des private telephone networks such as "tie line" systems maintained or leased by pr ivate enterprises. Presently contemplated actions can be taken independent of the sta te of the customer's telephone line (e.g. on-hook or off-hook), and usually involve use of equipment other than telephones and communication networks other than the PSTN (e.g. compu ters operating through the Internet and pagers operating through pager networks). Th e special services include existing services (call waiting, call blocking, call forwarding , etc.) and new ones (e.g. transferring an active call from a desk phone to a mobile cellular on e without interrupting the call). Security firewalls, between the public and telephony ap plication intelligence (TAI) systems that administer customer services within the PSTN, en sure that actions by unauthorized individuals do not interfere with or adversely affect te lephone system operations. Authorized customers taking presently contemplated actions w ill not be able to adversely affect telephone system operations. The present system wil l work on information maintained at any level of an intelligent network hierarchy within t he PSTN, including service nodes through which customer services are traditionally provid ed.
