This invention relates to methods and apparatus for establishing the flexible connections required to serve collaborative Telestar service requests. Telestar refers to services frequently described as being Tele* services such as teleeducation, teleconsultation and telemedicine. A customer node, such as a doctor's office, is connected via a high speed link to a switch which in turn is connected to a broadband network for interconnecting high speed links. The broadband network is connected to a Telestar service provider node. The customer signals requests for connections within the Telestar service provider nodes. These requests are processed by a Tele* service controller to generate request messages to the source and destination nodes to establish a requested connection. Advantageously, the highly flexible arrangements needed for providing optimum Telestar service can be readily controlled by a calling customer.
1. A method for providing high speed collaborative Telestar service comprising the steps of:
implementing a Telestar application layer in a signaling system;
in a source intelligent customer node, responsive to receipt of request from a customer, generating signaling messages for requesting a bearer connection to a at least one destination intelligent customer node for carrying out a requested function;
in said source intelligent customer node, generating Telestar application originating messages to indicate destinations of ones of a plurality of data streams of said bearer channel transmitted from the source intelligent customer node for carrying out said requested function;
transmitting said Telestar application messages to a Telestar Service Controller;
processing said Telestar application originating messages in said Telestar Service Controller to generate Telestar application terminating messages for transmission to said destination intelligent customer node and to said source intelligent customer node to carry out said selected function;
in the source and destination intelligent customer nodes, responsive to receipt of said terminating Telestar messages, controlling establishment of a connection from the source intelligent customer node to the selected destination intelligent customer node.
2. The method of
in the destination intelligent customer node, demultiplexing said bearer channel and routing individual ones of said plurality of data streams to destinations within the destination intelligent customer node specified in the Telestar application layer messages.
3. The method of
wherein said source and destination intelligent customer nodes are for connection to a medical measurement device and/or a doctor or medical specialist.
4. The method of
establishing a connection from a medical professional or technician to an inventory database for drug availability and eligibility of a patient for a drug.
5. The method of
a medical technician or professional ordering the filling of a prescription by sending an appropriate message to a pharmacy.
6. The method of
sending information from a medical professional or technician to a billing database to initiate reimbursement from a patient or an insurance company or a government agency for a medical service rendered.
7. The method of
retrieving data for living wills or powers of attorney from a database.
8. The method of
accessing data in a database of said destination intelligent customer node.
9. The method of
establishing a previously prescribed conference connection among a plurality of student terminals and a main teaching location.
10. The method of
automatically interconnecting previously specified real estate agents and customers; and
transmitting recordable signatures for closing documents.
11. The method of

18. The method of
19. The method of
automating service delivery by streaming multi-party interactions/transaction; and
automating adding and removing service delivery resources asynchronously during a service transaction.
This invention relates to communications for high speed Telestar (e.g., teleconsultation, telemedicine, teleeducation) services.
Tele* (Telestar) services such as teleeducation, teleconsultation, and telemedicine are becoming increasingly popular and prevalent. These services typically are provided from a teleservice provider connected to a customer via a data facility. The most common type of data facility for such a connection is an integrated services digital network (ISDN) connection which includes both a signaling channel and one or two 64 kilobit bearer channels. In addition, there are various arrangements for using the ISDN/SS7 signaling arrangements with a broadband data bearer channel.
However, the demands of Telestar services are significantly more elaborate. One such user of telemedicine is a large hospital complex having many departments, each of which can have a plurality of doctors' offices and/or laboratories. A call to the hospital may involve connections, for example, to the oncology department, the x-ray department and the hospital archive. Additionally, service delivery includes organizations not associated with the hospital such as a pharmacy (e.g., Walgreens), insurance providers, etc. that must be consulted during patient treatment. A problem of the prior art is that there is no satisfactory arrangement for efficiently automating the collaboration and consultation for information exchange during multi-party service delivery transactions.
The above problem is solved and an advance over the prior art is made in accordance with this invention wherein a stored program controlled computer with a subscriber/collaborator database containing the relationships needed to add and delete parties (machines or people) as indicated by the service logic and/or input from the collaborating parties, controls establishment of connections in response to requests from one or more parties. A Telestar service collaboration management is the service logic/process logic to control collaborative/converged interaction required to complete a service delivery from service initiation through final charge settlement. For Telestar services, the signaling arrangements are enhanced with a Telestar application layer for communications among a plurality of intelligent customer nodes; these nodes generate Telestar application layer (TAL) messages to other intelligent customer nodes and route incoming messages to particular terminals in response to received Telestar application layer messages. The intelligent customer nodes generate signaling messages for establishing connections among the customer nodes involved in a particular call configuration of an application. Thus, bearer channel messages are assembled and multiplexed at a source intelligent customer node or intelligent network node, are sent under the control of signaling messages to a destination intelligent customer node, and are demultiplexed and appropriately distributed by the destination intelligent network or customer node. Advantageously, through the use of the Telestar service controller the establishment and alteration of connections for Telestar services is streamlined and the control by the service provider is simplified.
The arrangement in accordance with Applicants' invention is one for permitting extensive collaboration among a plurality of parties and for permitting these parties to have access to databases and data destinations for accomplishing specific purposes. The potential end devices include (but are not limited to) conventional wire telephones, computers, PDAs, cell phones, and other wireless and wireline communication devices for voice, data or imaging exchanges. The imaging exchanges can cover a wide range of applications. Two examples include diagnostic imaging for medical MRIs, and field diagnostics for diagnosing automobile problems by consulting with a specialized mechanic for hard to diagnose auto repairs.
The collaborations of Telestar services can be used by institutions such as schools (to allow a plurality of remotely located students to have both incoming and outgoing video and audio access to a centralized lecture location); governments (to allow different government departments to access each other and to access the databases and data destinations required for acquiring information and for accomplishing objectives such as writing checks or sending bills to constituents); real estate transactions (to allow documents for closings to be obtained and to transfer funds for completing a sale); corporate meetings (to allow individuals or groups to be added or deleted from a meeting, to allow databases to be accessed and to allow data destinations to be accessed for the purpose of ordering checks to be transmitted and/or bills to be sent).
An additional capability of remote viewing capability can be provided by Telestar and be of benefit to industries such as the real estate industry. Instead of driving clients from house to house to view houses, an agent could set up a remote home tour at the real estate office or the client could connect into the service from their home location. By reducing the need to drive, the remote viewing has a side benefit of lessening the demand for natural resources such as oil and lessens road congestion.
The Telestar application can also benefit existing services such as OnStar currently installed in vehicles. The enhancement Telestar brings is that it can provide video of traffic intersections to help guide the driver around congestion and accident areas.
In the case of medical applications, the Telestar application makes it possible for individual doctors to make inventory checks for drug availability and eligibility; to order prescriptions that are electronically transmitted to a pharmacy; to make arrangements for automatic reimbursement by permitting the doctor to send a description of services to a medical database which database then sends a request for reimbursement to insurance companies and a request for reimbursement to a patient. Remote house calls are made possible by having a patient previously connected with equipment that can be connected for measuring specific patient physiological measurements (such as blood pressure, pulse, breathing rate) and for automatically distributing such measurements to a primary physician and a consultant brought in by the primary physician.
This collection of services can all be implemented through data stored in the Telestar controller executed by the Telestar application, augmented by data provided by patients, doctors, teachers etc. to specify particular consultants or users of the service wherein the controller controls the establishment of connections and where appropriate transmits data messages to one or more parties of such connections to provide these parties with the data necessary for identifying the purpose and parties to the connection.
A Telestar service controller 60 which receives the service request messages from the customer, contains a database 61 of subscriber information necessary to implement the Telestar services, and is connected through a signaling network 62 with the various switches required to implement the Telestar services. The Telestar service controller is connected to a service bureau 64 which transmits messages to update the database 61 as new services and customers are added and existing customer information is deleted.
The Telestar controller receives requests messages from nodes connected to the network. The controller has a repertory of text messages and signaling messages to control the establishment or disconnection of nodes in response both to an initial request and intermediate requests received during the course of a session. For example, an initial request may be for a connection from an x-ray laboratory to a radiologist. The request message may include the identity of the patient whose x-ray is being transmitted. The radiologist can make a request for a consultation which is preceded by the forwarding of the digitized x-ray to the consulted party, followed by the establishment of a connection between the original radiologist and the consultant. Both the original radiologist and the consultant can transfer fee requests to an insurance database. The radiologist may also request establishment of a connection to the responsible physician to discuss conclusions based on the analysis of the x-rays.
The database of the Telestar controller contains information for signaling for the establishment of a connection to the primary physician, the consultant, and initially the radiologist. Each of these parties is identified by a key specified by the individual requesting the connection. The type of connection (e.g., bandwidth) is also specified in the connection request or is indicated by a default value stored in the Telestar controller.
The Telestar controller is also able to control the establishment of multipoint connections so that either a conference (any individual can talk) or a broadcast (only one individual can talk) depending on the type of connection requested. Telestar can issue commands via third party call control to a subscribing network. Telestar can initiate a call to a service bureau that is automated and contains network entities required to deliver a service. (This acts like a browser of telecom and info services much as a webbrowser and service browses the web today.)
In addition, the service bureau can be customized with personal information such as insurance coverage, doctors, attorneys, etc. This can be done as simply as a conference call on the current 5E-XC, FMM (Flexibility Mobility Manager) or the FPS (Flexibility Packet Switch) or through the telephone application server in the IMS architecture. Telestar services can be offered by a service bureau or as a vertical service by a service provider. The personal information can be keyed by an originating telephone number or static IP address for automatic service presentation. The information can also be keyed by a User ID so user service can be device independent.
A user can dial a Telestar (medical or other) application number, much like dialing up customer support for a health care provider, at which point the user can choose a service from a menu. Telestar detects calling party number and begins a medical script:
�Press 1 for your Primary care Physician representative
Press 2 to schedule an appointment
Press 3 for preferred Pharmacy. (for refill, et. al).�
Customer press 1
Telestar sends mid call trigger (e.g., AIN type trigger) to conference PCP-Number stored in Telestar medical database, triggered by calling party number.
Telestar monitors the call events, and if additional commands specify the inclusion or removal of resources, Telestar can signal to the underlying data or telecom network to add or drop parties, transfer data between parties, etc.
In response to signaling messages from the Telestar service controller 60, a connection is established from the local switch connected to the customer over a broadband network 20 (such as a suitably augmented public switched telephone network or a network comprising a plurality of interconnected Asynchronous Transport Mode (ATM) nodes) or IP, SIP or any devices adhering to the 802 standard series which includes Ethernet, Wifi and WiMax to reach a destination. In order to do so, a protocol conversion device, such as protocol converter 19, shown in this case, as attached to the switch 10, may need to be introduced into the connection.
The destination in the example of
The customer node is provided with controller 7 for accessing the high speed link to the local switch and the Telestar service controller, who is also provided with a similar interface.
The controller must provide the following functions:
The customer node also contains a modem and multiplexer/demultiplexer 5 for generating the outgoing data stream from a plurality of inputs and for routing the incoming data stream to a plurality of outputs. The customer is provided with a terminal 3 for generating control information to the controller 7 to request the controller to establish the desired connections. The customer node may also be provided with a device 4 such as a heart monitor to generate signals for transmission to the destination node. Such capabilities point out the ability for this service to provide the equivalent of �remote house calls� by providing collaboration of the patient in a remote area and a doctor in an urban medical facility.
The switch 10 is arranged to switch signals between the high speed link 9 and the broadband network 20. The switch 10 can demultiplex incoming signals so that it sends different signals on different channels to the broadband network. The application layer signaling information controls multiplexing to different destinations based on address. These addresses could go to a WAN, LAN or wireline or wireless network. For example, in the case of DSL, the data signal is split off with a DSLAM, thus routing the data to a data server, not the local 5E-XC switch.
The broadband network 20 switches high speed data among the connected switches 10, 12, 30 and 50. An example of such a network is the AOL or MCI data network.
The broadband network is connected to switch 30 which is connected via high speed link 41 to a destination node 40. The destination node, for example, is a node for serving a hospital. The destination node 40 contains a controller 42 for controlling the communications from and to the destination node. It also contains a modem and multiplexer/demultiplexer 44 for interfacing between the signals on a high speed bearer channel from switch 30 to the signals to various departments (46, . . . , 48) of the destination node.
In one example of the embodiment, the messages for implementing Applicants' invention are sent using the ISDN subscriber user protocol (ISUP).
The level 1 of the protocol is simply the DS1 transmission protocol, i.e., the physical layer dealing with hardware and electrical configs.
Level 2 is an MTP1 protocol such as ATM, and the user part. It monitors links and reports link status, checks message for integrity, etc. For example, signal unit error detection and flow control are done at layer 2.
Level 3 is an MTP2 protocol such as AAL5 (ATM Adaptation Layer 5). MTP Level 3 has 2 categories one is message routing and the other is signaling network management. For example signaling link changeover of removing bad links and moving traffic to another link is at the layer 3.
Level 4 using a protocol such as SSCOP. The SSCOP is the Signaling Connection Control Part.
Level 5 uses a protocol such as SSCF. SSCF is Service Specific Convergence Function layer. SCCP is signaling connection control part which provides specialized routing functions
Next is information in the ISUP (ISDN service user part) protocol. Finally, the information for the Telestar service is contained in the next level.
TCAP, the Transactions Capabilities application part, is to allow applications to exchange information using signaling that is not circuit related. TCAP is used, for example, to obtain data from a database such as a dip for an 800 call or the HLR in mobile calls, etc.
Other message protocols can be used for transmitting request, command and connect messages.
An example of the type of messages used for implementing Telestar service is an initial address message (from ISUP) which contains the following data: forward call indicators which can be used to convey information that the sending exchange has further call information available for end to end transmission; an ISDN user part indicator can be used to indicate whether or not the access signaling protocol is ISDN and whether the ISDN user part is used in the entire connection; two bits (g and h) can be used to indicate whether the ISDN user part is preferred or required; another bit, bit i, the ISDN access indicator, can be used to indicate whether or not the originating access is ISDN.
The calling party category can be used for sending information in the forward direction including the category of the calling party and the language spoken and the priority of the call. This information in particular the language spoken indicator can be used to select an appropriate terminating party.
The transmission medium requirement indicator indicates the type of transmission path required to complete the call. Examples would be speech, 64 kilobit unrestricted, or 7 kilohertz audio, or 1536 kilobits unrestricted.
The called party address is information sent in the forward direction such as dialed digits number plan indicator. This information can be used for Telestar service to indicate what numbering plan this call will use, e.g., a data numbering plan or an ISDN numbering plan.
However, the originator is not limited to the numbering plan. Telestar will perform the address resolution. For example, an IP address connected to a computer can call a landline phone. The destination can be an address, on the web, from the E164 North American Dialing plan or a URL on the web.
The calling party number can be used to identify the calling line to the called party and the Telestar service controller. Alternatively, the user could have a PIN and dial in so they can originate from anywhere, any phone, any PC, PDA, etc.
A redirecting number used for call forwarding can be provided by the Telestar service controller to forward the call properly in case the called party has requested call forwarding. In this case, the original called number can be provided to the called party.
Another type of message which illustrates the facilities made available for Telestar service is an ACM (Answer Complete Message), i.e., a message sent from the terminator to the originator to indicate that the signals required for routing the call to the called party have been received. Such a message can include a backward call indicator which could include a charge indicator that would indicate whether or not the called party will be charged for this call. For example, if consulting a specialist via phone call, this can indicate a bill for consultation; such a bill could automatically be forwarded to an insurance company.
In accordance with one feature of Applicants' invention, service delivery for multi-party interactions/transactions can be streamed. Individual or groups of service delivery resources can be added or removed asynchronously during the service transaction.
The network resource 11 is a more general term for a network interconnection facility such as a land-line switch, mobile switch, mobile base station or a combination of such units. The network resource is a unit for interconnecting users or service agents with the Telestar service controller 60, via a signaling path, or other users or service agents (not shown) as well as an enterprise resource controller 42. The network resource may require the use of a protocol conversion device 19 to allow for communication between units where such conversion is necessary.
This customer node request is generated by the controller 7. The customer node signals a destination node request (action block 305) to inform the destination node of which signals on the bearer channel are to be connected to which departments in the destination node. The bearer connection is then established (action block 307). The destination node receives the Telestar layer request describing which of the customer node signals are to be routed to which departments (action block 309). The destination node then establishes the connection to the requested connection to the requested department(s) (action block 311). The customer may subsequently signal a connection change request as another Telestar layer message (action block 313). The destination node then establishes a new configuration in response to the received request (action block 315).
In the case of the medical application, the prescription can be automatically forwarded to the pharmacist of the patient.
Remote house calls can be implemented by connecting the physician first to the patient, then adding on, as needed, a connection to a hospital or a specialist, and accessing data from a data bank of the hospital.
Entertainment requests can be received by the Telestar Service Controller which can store data for responding to the requests. An example of such data is a list of films by a particular directory, and the service nodes which can transmit these films. Data for sports events or live entertainment can also be stored.
Remote repair and diagnostic service can be implemented using a portable data acquisition unit, such as collection of meters and a digital camera, and sending a signal, probably via a wireless connection, to a repair bureau, staffed by experts.
The above description is of one preferred embodiment of Applicants' invention. Other embodiments will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the scope of the invention. The invention is limited only by the attached claims.

Consultation as a recovery tool.
The purpose of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) is to conserve endangered and threatened species and the ecosystems upon which they depend. The consultation provisions in section 7 of the ESA play a significant role in achieving that objective by directing federal agencies to carry out programs to conserve listed species, and to ensure their actions do not jeopardize these species or result in the destruction or adverse modification of critical habitat.
Section 7 consultation involves coordination between federal agencies and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or the National Marine Fisheries Service prior to carrying out, funding, or otherwise authorizing federal actions that may affect listed species or critical habitat. Adequate consideration of listed species in planning and implementing federal actions is fundamental to complying with the conservation purposes of the ESA.
The U.S. Supreme Court's 1978 decision in Tennessee Valley Authority v. Hill, a well-known case involving the construction of a dam on the Tennessee River that was likely to inundate occupied critical habitat of the endangered snail darter (Percina tanasi), affirmed the preeminent role of the ESA and section 7 in shaping federal actions to conserve listed species: "The plain intent of Congress in enacting this statute was to halt and reverse the trend toward species extinction, whatever the cost ... the legislative history undergirding section 7 reveals an explicit congressional decision to require agencies to afford first priority to the declared national policy of saving endangered species." Accordingly, federal agencies are encouraged to integrate conservation programs into their activities to promote the recovery of listed species.
Several noteworthy examples of such integration resulting from ESA section 7 consultations involve federal agency activities in the Pacific Northwest, California, and Indiana.
In response to the requirements of section 7, the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management adopted the Pacific Northwest Forest Plan in 1994 as part of their land management responsibilities. Under the plan, large blocks of reserves are being managed for older forest habitat over an approximately 24 million-acre (9.7 million-hectare) area to address the conservation needs of the threatened northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina) and a multitude of other listed and non-listed species.
On San Clemente Island in southern California, the Navy has successfully integrated conservation programs into its military mission. It has invested millions of dollars to eradicate feral goats and pigs that were causing significant damage to the habitat of native species, some of which are found nowhere else in the world. The Navy also funds ongoing research, monitoring, and habitat restoration activities on the island. Many listed species and listing candidates that occur on San Clemente Island have benefitted greatly from these conservation actions. Foremost among these recovery efforts is a world-class captive propagation and reintroduction program for the endangered San Clemente loggerhead shrike (Lanius ludovicianus mearnsi). From a low of five pairs in the wild in 1988, the shrike population increased to 82 pairs by 2009, and extinction has been averted.
For more than 30 years, the Marine Corps has funded intensive management and monitoring of the endangered California least tern (Sterna antillarum browni) and the least Bell's vireo (Vireo bellii pusillus) while carrying out its military training mission at Camp Pendleton in northern San Diego County, California. In the case of the vireo, those efforts began about five years before it was listed. As a result of these conservation actions, Camp Pendleton is home to about one-quarter of all California least terns and over one-third of all least Bell's vireos. The Marine Corps is also managing regionally significant populations of several other listed species on the Base.
At Klamath Lake in northern California, the Bureau of Reclamation operates a major water storage and delivery project for agricultural use. In conjunction with project operations, the Bureau has installed a fish screen on a major diversion canal, built a fish ladder to restore upstream movement of endangered shortnose and Lost River suckers (Chasmistes brevirostris and Deltistes luxatus, respectively) into Klamath Lake, and removed a dam on an upstream tributary to facilitate sucker spawning. Since 2002, the Bureau has funded research on the status of these fish and the factors affecting their survival. Both species have also benefitted from extensive habitat restoration funded by the Bureau.
In 1997, endangered Indiana bats (Myotis sodalis) were first documented on the Army's Camp Atterbury Joint Maneuver Training Center in Indiana. At least three maternity colonies are now known to occur on this 33,000-acre (13,350-hectare) installation, giving it one of the highest concentrations of maternity colonies known across the bat's range. The Center is a very active facility, but its development has not precluded the Army from integrating Indiana bat conservation into the military mission. The Army and the Fish and Wildlife Service have cooperated to ensure that new training areas (e.g., a tank range) were developed in ways that avoid or minimize adverse impacts on Indiana bats. The Army has set aside some of the best habitat on the Center as Indiana bat management zones that are off limits to incompatible uses. The Army also has an active Indiana bat monitoring and research program on the Center.
These examples are just a few out of tens of thousands of cases nationwide where compliance with section 7 has facilitated federal conservation of listed species to varying degrees. The Fish and Wildlife Service continues to work on enhancing the effectiveness of section 7 consultations as a recovery tool by encouraging federal agencies to integrate conservation actions into their activities. In 2006, the Service initiated a national effort to establish a web-based system for the development of "conservation frameworks" that describe the needs of listed species. The intent of these frameworks is to help federal agencies determine the best management practices to consider as part of their proposed actions to promote species recovery. This tool and other types of such integration are likely to further strengthen the role of the Service's consultation program in species recovery.

A Call To Arms - The Vandenberg
Hello Friends,
This is a call to arms from the Conch Republic. I don't normally do this but there is a great reef project called The Vandenberg that is in jeopardy and needs our help. Some wonderful folks have been working for over 12 years on sinking this great ship. Fuel cost, insurance, environmental cleanup of the ship have caused unanticipated cost overruns to the tune of $2.3 million dollars. The Vandenberg was a WW II troop transport ship and later transformed into a missile tracker that was instrumental in our space program in the 60s. This 522-foot ship is scheduled to sink just off Key West on May 15 to become one of the largest manmade reefs ever. This is the international year of the reef, so let's all show our support.
Update: The sinking of the Vandenberg was postponed until after Hurricane Season. We expect the date to be announced by fall of 2008.
You can help!

New Year's Eve Trip
We rented this house for our friends annual New Year's eve trip with a total of six couples. The house was as described by the owner - who communicated very detailed information in advance as well as during our stay when i had a quick question. There was plenty of room for everyone and seating area to watch all the football on New Year's Day. A beautiful property with a breathtaking view of sunset, would love to see this in the summer. The drive is long, but manageable even in the winter. The kids that were with us even sled down the driveway! Overall, a great rental experience and would rent again.
Beautiful cottage
Great cottage -- beautiful woodwork; great 'space' for community and privacy; nice hot tub and separate jucuzi bath; good access to the lake. It's not on the lake itself, but excellent access down a hill.

|Waltrip tries to keep Truex after Richmond scandal
|Written by Admin
|Friday, 20 September 2013 03:52
NAPA Auto Parts will end its multimillion-dollar sponsorship of MWR at the end of the year, the latest fallout from the team's attempt to manipulate a race to get Truex into NASCAR's version of the playoffs.
Napa is Truex's primary sponsor and in the first year of a three-year extension announced last August. The deal ran through the 2015 season and is believed to be worth at least $15 million a year.
Waltrip said Friday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway that he hoped Truex will stay with the organization. Waltrip says he ``will not hold him back'' if another team wanted to sign Truex.
