The present invention relates generally to telecommunications systems and in particular, to methods and systems that can be used with respect to facsimile routing and handling.
The electronic transmission of documents by way of fax systems continues to be commonplace and, often, an essential component of many business activities. With the emergence of electronic mail in the business environment, many predicted the demise of fax. This has not been the case.
However, there continue to be shortcomings among the fax systems currently in use in the business and consumer markets. In the business setting, fax machines may be busy or out of paper, preventing the receipt of incoming faxes. Furthermore, with many conventional systems, there generally is no real-time notification to a recipient that a fax has been sent to the recipient. That is, a fax recipient often is not aware that a fax exists until it is hand delivered or picked up at the fax machine. If the recipient is expecting a fax, it is inconvenient for him to constantly check whether the fax has arrived if the fax machine is located far away from the recipient. Fax machines may also be shared by many users and, as a result, the sender of the fax often will feel obligated to take the additional step of drafting a cover page to identify the recipient of the fax. In some cases, faxed documents are of such a sensitive nature that the sender would like to have some control over who might see those documents as they move from the receiving fax machine to the actual recipient. In the consumer setting, individuals may not have access to a dedicated or shared fax machine and/or a dedicated fax line. This can make it difficult or impossible to receive faxes. These circumstances result in a number of practical problems for fax users.
In recent years, Fax-to-Email services such as that provided by CallWave, Inc., have been introduced to address these problems for users with access to the Internet. Typically, a user is assigned a telephone number and calls are routed via methods such as call forwarding or direct call termination on a softswitch capable of converting the call to a fax session. Once the fax is received, it is routed to a user's email address or a client application running on a network computer associated with a user.
Example embodiments of methods and systems are described herein that provide fax routing services.
An example embodiment provides a method of processing facsimiles, the method comprising: receiving at a call processing system a first message transmitted from a first carrier system at least partly in response to the first carrier system receiving a call from a caller directed to a user phone address, the first message including a phone address associated with the caller and an identifier associated with the user; using information in the first message to determine if the user is a subscriber of a first service offered by the call processing system; if the user is a subscriber of the first service offered by the call processing system: receiving a facsimile via the call at the call processing system; logging the call in a first call processing system call log; determining if a user telecommunications client is online, and if the telecommunications client is online, enabling the client and call log to synchronize with at least a portion of the first call processing system so that the call is included in a call log displayed via the client application.
An example embodiment provides a method of processing facsimiles, the method comprising: receiving at a call processing system a first message transmitted from a first carrier system regarding a call to a phone address associated with a user while the call is in progress, the first message including an identifier associated with the user, wherein the call is a facsimile call; using the identifier to determine if the user is authorized to receive services offered by the call processing system; at least partly in response to determining that the user is authorized: transmitting a second message to the first carrier system, the second message indicating that the first carrier system is to connect the call to the call processing system; connecting to the call at the call processing system; receiving a facsimile via the call at the call processing system; and providing over a network information regarding the facsimile call, wherein some or all of the information is displayed in a call log visually accessible by the user.
An example embodiment provides a method of processing facsimiles, wherein a first telecommunications system monitors a condition for a user phone address, the method comprising: receiving at a second telecommunication system an indication from the first telecommunication system that the condition has been satisfied, wherein the condition is at least partly satisfied by a first call directed to the user phone address being received at the first telecommunications system; receiving at the second telecommunication system the caller phone address and information related to the user; connecting to the first call at the second telecommunications system; determining if the first call is a facsimile call; if the first call is a facsimile call, receiving a facsimile via the call at the second telecommunication system; and providing over a network information regarding the facsimile call, wherein some or all of the information is displayed in a call log visually accessible by the user.
Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings summarized below. These drawings and the associated description are provided to illustrate example embodiments of the invention, and not to limit the scope of the invention.
Example embodiments of methods and systems are described herein that provide fax routing services. Certain embodiments use triggers, such as the SS7 Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN) triggers or Wireless Intelligent Network (WIN) triggers, in providing such fax routing services.
Throughout the following description, the term "Web site" is used to refer to a user-accessible network site that implements the basic World Wide Web standards for the coding and transmission of hypertextual documents. These standards currently include HTML (the Hypertext Markup Language) and HTTP (the Hypertext Transfer Protocol). It should be understood that the term "site" is not intended to imply a single geographic location, as a Web or other network site can, for example, include multiple geographically distributed computer systems that are appropriately linked together. Furthermore, while the following description relates to an embodiment utilizing the Internet and related protocols, other networks, such as networked interactive televisions, and other protocols may be used as well.
Further, while the following description refers to example network and telephony standards and protocols, other standards and protocols can be used as well. In addition, while references may be made to electronic address books or contact lists, other data stores and formats can be used to store contact information. While certain intelligent network triggers are referred to herein, other triggers (e.g., condition monitors/detectors) or events can be used as well. In addition, unless otherwise indicated, the functions described herein may be performed by executable code and instructions stored in computer readable memory and running on one or more processor-based systems. However, state machines, and/or hardwired electronic circuits can also be utilized. Further, with respect to the example processes described herein, not all the process states need to be reached, nor do the states have to be performed in the illustrated order.
Similarly, while certain examples may refer to a personal computer system or data device, other computer or electronic systems can be used as well, such as, without limitation, an interactive television, a networked-enabled personal digital assistant (PDA), a networked game console, a networked entertainment/multimedia playback device, and so on. While certain references are made to certain example system components or services, other components and services can be used as well. In addition, while certain user inputs may be described as being provided via phone key presses or by clicking on a button, optionally, user inputs can be provides using other techniques, such as by voice or otherwise. While certain phone numbers are referenced for purposes of illustration, other phone numbers or electronic addresses or locators can be used as well.
Unless otherwise specified, the term phone number refers generally to a telephonic address, such as, without limitation, a standard POTs telephone number, an E.164 phone number (ITU-T recommendation which defines the international public telecommunication numbering plan and telephone format used in the PSTN and certain data networks), or a VoIP address.
In an example embodiment, enhanced call management services are provided via Common Channel Signaling (CCS) or Common Channel Interoffice Signaling (CCIS) information, such, by way of example, as via SS7 Intelligent Network (IN) triggers in the switches of local exchange telephone companies. For example, SS7 AIN triggers are set in the switches of Carrier Partners (e.g., carriers who are partners with a third party call processing operator in providing enhanced call processing services) to route inbound faxes.
In an example embodiment, when the Carrier Partner (CP) configures a trigger at the appropriate point in an inbound fax call for a user (e.g., a subscriber or customer), a call processing system (also referred to as a softswitch or fax processing system), such as that associated with the third party call processing operator, acting as a Service Control Point (SCP) in the SS7 network, receives a query. This enables the call processing system to instruct the switch how to route the call to the call processing system, receive the fax, convert it to a certain format (e.g., a common format such as the PDF, TIFF, PCL, HPGL, CSF, or other format) and deliver the fax (e.g., in the converted format) to the customer via email, via a Web site, and/or via a telecommunications client hosted by a computer associated with the customer, optionally along with the customer's voice calls, voice mail messages, SMS messages, MMS messages, and/or other communications. optionally, this process can address some or all of the drawbacks of certain conventional techniques identified above while optionally reducing a provider's line costs. The process also may reduce fax line churn to other Internet-based fax services.
The functionality, operation, and implementation for an example fax routing service will now be described in greater detail.

System and Operation Description
A phone company configures triggers at the appropriate points in the inbound calls for a subscriber/customer at an exchange, such as a local exchange. An enhanced service provider, associated with a softswitch and a system acting as a Service Control Point (SCP) in the SS7 network, receives queries from a local exchange (e.g., via a Service Switching Point (SSP)) that enables it to collect information about the call and/or instruct the switch how to handle the call. Optionally, the owner/operator of the softswitch enters into a contractual or other arrangement with the carrier associated with the SSP to set triggers on some or all of lines associated with the SSP. In another example, a phone company purchases, leases develops, or otherwise controls a softswitch (or other call processing system) acting as an SCP in the SS7 network. The present operating environments are described by way of example, and other operating environments may be used as well.
In an example embodiment, the SS7 Wireless Intelligent Network (WIN) triggers are set in the mobile switches of Wireless Carrier Partners to provide similar calling services but for a mobile account.
In another example embodiment, the softswitch contains one or more systems referred to as call managers. The call managers are connected to the PSTN via ISDN using the ISUP (ISDN User Part) protocol, by way of example, although other protocols can be used. The call managers provide some or all of the following: a call screening service when screening is enabled, record a message from a caller, provide a voice prompt or message that is to be played to a caller and/or called party, record a facsimile document, detect speech or DTMF tones, convert speech that needs to be converted to text, and/or provide a gateway between the SS7-based networks (PSTN) and SIP-based networks (VoIP). The example call manager optionally can also act as an IP (Intelligent Peripheral), another AIN component that the SCP can instruct the SSP to connect into the call for interaction with the called and calling party. The IP/call managers and SCPs in the softswitch optionally share a Call Registry that stores information about active calls.
Softswitch session manager(s) optionally track telecommunication client presence and interact with a given telecommunications client (e.g., a client application hosted on a personal computer, PDA, smart phone, or a networked television) as call log, contact, and/or customer data needs to be synchronized with the centralized databases to provide the customer, via the client, with updated log, contact, and/or customer data. One or more session managers also optionally provide the SCP in an AIN environment and call manager in a non-AN environment with service configuration information for the customer involved in a call. During an active call, the SCP and/or IP/call manager optionally directly or indirectly interact with the telecommunications client to provide call progress information, and to stream audio and/or visual content.
The softswitch in this example contains centralized databases and/or a general-purpose storage area, optionally including, but not limited to, some or all of the following: a call log database, a contacts database, and a customer database. Optionally, the databases are not centralized and may be distributed geographically and/or over different systems. The call log database stores call events and related data for incoming and/or outgoing calls and text and/or multimedia messages. Optionally, a fax call is logged in the customer's account regardless of whether a fax was actually received. Optionally, a fax call is not logged in the customer's account unless at least a portion of the fax was successfully received. The contacts database stores information and parameters (e.g., names, identifiers, and/or phone numbers/addresses, birthdays, notes, automated characters, etc.) associated with a sender, called, or calling party. The customer database stores information and parameters (e.g., account data and configuration information) associated with subscribers/customers/users. The softswitch optionally includes a name cache.
The softswitch call processing system optionally includes other subsystems, such as some or all of the following: a router subsystem, which serves as an interface to the Internet to manage communications between online IP client devices and call processing servers, a web server subsystem to manage a "web site" associated with the softswitch (e.g., via which a user can access an account set-up/configuration user interface, a call log, a contacts database, etc., using a browser or other network user interface), etc. These subsystems are optionally interconnected via a Local Area Network (LAN), a Wide Area Private Network (WAN), and/or a Wide Area Public Network (e.g., Internet).
By way of background, a trigger has an associated firing criterion. When a trigger is made active (armed), and its associated firing criteria is (are) satisfied, the trigger fires. When a trigger fires, in an example embodiment, a message is formatted with call related data and the message is transmitted. For example, the message may be transmitted by the SSP to the SCP. The SCP (or other destination) then reads and/or stores in computer readable memory some or all of this call related data and generates a response which the SSP (or other source or system) then uses in further call processing.
A customer can have a fax routing service described herein enabled on a new or existing phone number (e.g., a number serviced by a Carrier Partner). The service may optionally be configured in the softswitch as a separate, new account, or the fax routing service for the phone number may be added to an existing account already servicing a voice phone line. If a separate account is created for fax calls, logged fax calls are optionally not intermixed with logged voice calls. If a new account is being created for fax calls, the customer can optionally request that the new account be configured as a sub-account of an existing customer account. When a call to a phone number configured with a fax routing service is received, the call is answered by the softswitch and the fax is received via the standard Group 3 or 4 fax protocols, by way of example, or via other fax protocols.
An account can be optionally configured to have a shared voice/fax phone number. In this case, when a call is received on the shared phone number the call is answered by the softswitch, which determines if the call is a fax call by determining whether a fax tone is present. If the softswitch detects a fax tone within a certain time period (e.g., a configurable time window), the softswitch provides the corresponding handshaking with the transmitting fax device (e.g., a dedicated fax machine or fax server (e.g., a computer with fax transmission software) plugged into a telephone jack, routed through a PBX, connected to the PSTN via a LAN and a gateway between the LAN and the telephone network) and the fax is received.
If a fax tone is not detected within the configurable interval (e.g., for example, a default period of two seconds), the caller is presented with a ring back tone (e.g., as would be presented to a caller calling a voice-only line) and the system attempts to deliver the voice call to the phone(s) configured by the softswitch operator or by the customer (e.g., the customer's work, home, VoIP, and/or mobile phone). Optionally, with a shared voice/fax phone number, callers making voice calls may be charged for the call even though they think the call did not complete.
As discussed above, optionally, the customer may configure the format in which faxes are to be stored and transmitted via an account set-up interface, which is stored in the customer database. By way of example, the account set-up interface can be a web presentation (e.g., accessed via a web site associated with the enhanced call service provider) or a client application. The format choices include but are not limited to:
Portable Device Format (PDF)
XML Interface Format (XIF)
Tagged Image File Format (TIFF)
Printer Command Protocol (PCL)
Optionally, as soon as a fax message is received, it is automatically converted to the configured format. Alternatively, a fax message remains in the format it is received and converted to the configured format when sent to the customer's computer or after being received by the customer's computer (or other terminal). Optionally, the system retains a copy in the received format and in the converted format.
As discussed below, when a fax is received, in an example embodiment, call signaling information (e.g., the caller ID) is used to attempt to determine the caller's name/identity. An example sequence in which the caller name databases are queried includes some or all of the follow, although other external databases can be searched or queried such as standard web databases):
Customer contact list (e.g., an electronic address book)
A name cache in softswitch
An external CNAM database
A Line Information Database (LIDB)
If a name is found in the external database the name is added to the cache. The cache is optionally purged nightly (or at other designated times or periods) of entries that are older than a configurable time interval.
Optionally, a contact is automatically created in the customer's contact list (e.g., an electronic address book or other data store) when a fax call is received from a new fax sender for which the customer does not already have a contact record. The sender's phone number and caller name (if known and other information about the caller) are stored in the contact on the softswitch and/or on the telecommunications client, or other personal information manager (e.g., Microsoft Outlook). The customer can use the telecommunications client, web interface, or other personal information manager to edit this contact information or to create new contacts.
The fax can be routed in accordance with one or more rules defined by the customer. Optionally, the customer can modify one or more rules via a user interface (e.g., a Web page presented via a browser, or an interface presented by a dedicated telecommunications client). A customer may have multiple fax numbers, which can be used for different purposes. For example, the customer may have a personal fax number for personal faxes, a business fax number for business faxes, etc. The customer can specify that all of the faxes received at the different fax numbers are to be displayed and accessed via a common call log and/or that each fax number is to have a dedicated call log. By way of further example, optionally the customer can configure different notification-types for faxes received at different fax numbers. By way of illustration, optionally the customer can specify that SMS fax notifications are to be sent for faxes directed to the business fax number, but not for faxes sent to the personal fax number. Optionally, the customer can specify different fax formats for faxes received at different fax numbers.
A telecommunications client application (e.g., a CallWave personal computer client, or a client hosted on an interactive television, a networked personal digital assistant, a smart phone, or other processor-based device, etc.) and/or a Web-based user interface are used to provide communication services. Optionally, a customer can have multiple clients hosted on multiple computers. In an example embodiment, the telecommunications client application connects to and communicates with the softswitch via the Internet, an intranet, or other network. The client application, executing on a subscriber's computer terminal, can make the subscriber's online presence known to the softswitch (e.g., by transmitting a message over the Internet to the softswitch).
The client can be used to receive and display call log data from the softswitch (e.g., a list of calls placed to/received by the subscriber, or placed by the subscriber, including phone numbers, caller or called party names, date/time of the call, an indication as to whether a call was an outbound/inbound call, the city/state of the caller/called party, type of call (e.g., voice, fax, SMS message, MMS message, etc.), and call alert data (e.g., for an active call, listing the caller phone number, name/textual identifier (or graphical/pictorial identifier, such as an icon or photograph), city/state, and/or call status (e.g., ringing, playing greeting, recording caller message, terminating call, displaying fax)). Optionally, the call alert also plays an audible signal, such as a ring tone, via the host speakers.
The client application can display a log of recorded messages from callers, and can provide playback controls (e.g., play, fast forward, rewind) for playing back or displaying the recorded message (e.g., a voice message, a video message, a fax message, etc.) via the client computer terminal. The client optionally can also be used to screen calls (e.g., wherein the softswitch streams a message being left by a caller to the client so that the called party can listen to the message in substantially real time and the caller cannot hear the called party) and to instruct the softswitch to accept calls on the host computer terminal, forward calls, refuse calls, initiate call conferencing, and to otherwise provide call handling instructions.
For example, when a call alert is received by the client, as part of call presentation, a ringing sound is optionally played via the client host. Optionally, the incoming call is displayed in a call alert user interface for a first amount of time (e.g., a set time, such as 5 seconds, or for a user configurable period of time), and then the call appears in the associated call log.
With reference to
State 1. A caller 1102 dials the customer's fax phone number/address. By way of example, the fax phone number/address can be associated with a landline coupled to a facsimile device located local to the customer (e.g., at the customer work or home) or elsewhere. The call is routed through the PSTN 1108 to the carrier 1106 (e.g., CP) switch 1104 (e.g., a Service Switching Point (SSP)), serving that customer.
State 2. A trigger (e.g., a Termination_Attempt trigger), armed in the SSP 1104 for the customer's fax phone number/address (or for all or a specified subset of phone numbers/addresses), fires causing a query (e.g., a Transaction Capabilities Application Part (TCAP) query) to the configured SCP point code, which, in this example, is assigned to the softswitch 1114. The TCAP query includes call signaling information, including, for example, the caller phone number/address and/or an identifier associated with the called party (e.g., the called party phone number and/or an account number (e.g., which includes numbers and/or letters) associated with the called party).
State 3. The softswitch 1114 verifies the called party identifier (e.g., phone number/address) is that of a customer (e.g., a subscriber of a service offered by the operator of the softswitch 1114 and/or other entity having an account associated with the softswitch 1114), optionally by determining if the identifier (e.g., the called phone number/address) matches a customer identifier (e.g., a phone number/address) in the Customer database 1122 (which stores customer account records). The softswitch SCP 1116 queries the softswitch session manager 1124 or other databases to obtain the inbound call-processing configuration for this customer. In this example, the SCP 1116 determines this call relates to a fax, and so fax service is needed. For example, the caller phone number can be identified either within the SSP 1104 or via another database as a fax number or a "fax" capable line. The SCP 1116 then responds to the SSP 1104 with a message, such as, for example, Forward_Call, to route the call to the softswitch call manager 1126 (or other designated destination via which fax service can be provided). The SCP 1116 updates a call registry in the softswitch 1114 for sharing the call with the call manager 1126.
State 4. In response to the SCP message (e.g., Forward_Call), the SSP 1104 directs the call to the call manager 1126. The call manager 1126 retrieves the call state from the call registry and determines that a fax is to be received. The call manager 1126 allocates resources for this purpose and receives the fax. The fax, as received, is optionally retained in the softswitch 1114 in computer readable memory. The call manager 1126 optionally also converts the fax into another format (e.g., a format chosen by the customer or by the softswitch operator). In this example, the fax is converted into a PDF (Portable Document Format) file. Optionally, the customer can configure the format and how s/he prefers to receive fax documents (e.g., via e-mail, via a Web site, via an MMS message, etc.) using an account set-up user interface, which will then be stored in the Customer database 1122. Optionally, the format is a default format designated by the softswitch operator that can be changed by the customer.
In this example, the fax caller had not called the customer previously. The call manager 1126 attempts to determine the identity (e.g., the name) of the caller. The call manager 1126, for example, can use the caller ID signaling data associated with the call to attempt to locate a record associated with the caller. The call manager 1126 queries the softswitch's name cache (e.g., using some or all of the caller ID signaling data), but, in this example, the name cache does not include a record matching the caller ID data. The call manager 1126 therefore queries an additional database to get the caller's name and stores the name (if located) in association with the call. For example, the additional database can be an external CNAM (Calling Name) database 1130 and/or Line Information Database (LIDB) to access the caller's name and optionally phone type (home, work, mobile cell, etc).
Optionally, the query is not limited to CNAM or LIDB type information. For example, a more extensive search of third party databases and/or information accessible via searches over the Internet 1128 is optionally performed, and some or all of the following information can potentially be obtained: the caller's (or other contact's) home Web page (e.g., a uniform resource locator (URL) associated with the Web page), email address, physical address, SMS address, MMS address, instant messaging (IM) name/address, photos, favorite songs, preferred music type, etc. Optionally, even if the caller is associated with a record, the system can automatically attempt to verify and/or supplement the contact record (e.g., populate one or more empty contact record fields) via information obtained from CNAM, LIDB, and/or other data stores.
Optionally, the softswitch 1114 accesses one or more call blocking databases that stores phone numbers and/or names from which the customer does not want to receive faxes and/or other calls. The call blocking databases may include a telemarketer database maintained by the softswitch operator, the carrier or a government entity. In addition or instead, the call blocking databases may include phone numbers and/or other identifiers provided by the customer (e.g., via a call blocking user interface). If the fax is from an entity identified in the call blocking database(s), the fax is automatically blocked (e.g., fax handshaking is not provided which would result in the fax being transmitted to the softswitch 1114, or the softswitch receives the fax but does not forward it to the customer).
State 5. The call manager 1126 logs the call with the associated fax message and updates the call frequency information for the corresponding contact (e.g., the caller). For example, the call manager 1126 can track the number of calls received from the contact (optionally, the total number of calls from a certain date or in a specified time period, and/or the number of calls from each phone number associated with the contact).
State 6. In this example, the customer has requested (or the customer's account has otherwise been configured) that fax notifications (and optionally, other call notifications) be sent to an email address provided by the customer. Since the customer has email notification configured, the call manager 1126 sends an email to the customer with the fax attached in the specified format (e.g., PDF) or otherwise embedded in the email. The email notification optionally includes the phone number and name (or other textual or graphical/pictorial identifier, such as an icon or photograph) of the caller, if available. The email can be received and accessed via an email client or via a Webmail/POP system using, for example, an email client or Web browser hosted by a client computer system, mobile phone 1134, networked interactive television, or other appropriately configured terminal. Optionally, the customer can configure their account so that fax notifications are transmitted to the customer's mobile cell phone or other wireless device over a wireless network 1112 via a gateway MSC 1110 (e.g., via an SMS or MMS message to a corresponding address, such as the mobile phone number). The notification transmitted to the customer's mobile phone can include the name (and/or other identifier) and phone number (and optionally other information) of the fax sender if available. A voice notification can likewise be transmitted by the system to the mobile phone 1134 or a landline phone 1132.
State 7. The session manager 1124 identifies that a new call has been logged for the customer. The session manager 1124 determines if the customer's telecommunications client is online (e.g., by communicating with the client over the Internet 1128). In this example, the client is online. The session manager 1124 notifies the client (e.g., via a message transmitted over the Internet) to synchronize with the softswitch call log database 1118 to receive the logged fax call. Optionally, if the client had been offline, the client would have received the fax the next time it went online.
State 8. The fax call is displayed in the client call log (e.g., via the customer communications client 1136), optionally with an indication of the number of pages in the fax and/or the size of the fax file (e.g., in kilobytes or megabytes). The customer clicks the play button to view the fax via the client 1136 or appropriate document viewer hosted on a customer terminal (e.g., a personal computer, a smart phone, etc.). In this example, the fax is also received as part of an email message via an email client hosted on the customer computer or other terminal.
In an alternative embodiment, if the customer's client is online, the session manager 1124 (or other component of the softswitch 1114) notifies the telecommunications client 1136 on the SCP's behalf that there is an incoming call. The telecommunications client displays the call in its active call window (e.g., a call alert user interface) with the status set to "ringing". As the call manager 1126 begins receiving the fax, optionally each fax page can be streamed to the telecommunications client in substantially real time and, optionally, automatically displayed on the customer's computer (e.g., via the client application or other appropriate viewer) as the pages are received. For example, the fax can optionally be streamed using methods and systems described herein and/or as described in copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/120,163, entitled "METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR TRANSFERRING VOICE MESSAGES AND FAXES OVER A NETWORK", incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
An optional embodiment that provides substantially the same service from a user perspective utilizes Intelligent Peripheral (IP) functionality provided in the softswitch 1114. for example, the IP may be coupled to receive communications from the SSP 1104. An IP can be used to provide resources such as fax services, custom voice announcements, voice recognition, interactive voice response, and/or dual-tone multifrequencies (DTMF) digit collection. The IP optionally includes a switching matrix to provide these resources to a requester or user. In an example embodiment, the SCP 1116 uses an instruction (e.g., Send_to_Resource) to route the call to the IP for fax service.
As similarly discussed above, if the customer has a telecommunications client application, correspondingly installed on one or more terminals (e.g., personal computers, smart phones, interactive televisions, etc.), logged fax calls are delivered to that terminal. If the telecommunications client is offline when the fax call is received, the logged fax message is delivered to it the next time it comes online. Fax calls are displayed in the telecommunications client's active call log window as shown in the figure below.
When a call is selected in the call log user interface, the associated contact record (e.g., including the caller name, address, email address, phone number, fax number, and/or other information) is optionally displayed in a Contacts area (e.g., a window).
To view a fax the customer clicks the play icon or double-clicks the call. This causes the viewer the customer has configured to open and display the fax. The customer is optionally provided help in installing an appropriate viewer if needed. Alternatively or in addition, the client may be configured to automatically display the entire fax when it is received (or optionally the pages as they are received from the softswitch).
The log can list missed calls and fax calls, including the caller identity when known, the caller's phone number, when public, the time of the call, and whether the caller left a message/fax.
If caller's phone number is "private," then the phone number is optionally not displayed to the called party. Instead, the phrase "Private Number" or the like is displayed. If a contact record including an encrypted phone number corresponding to the private phone number has been previously stored in the called party's database, then a text message (e.g., the caller name or other identifier) previously entered by the customer or other entity in association with the encrypted private number is displayed. For calls placed by a phone (as opposed to a fax device) when a called party clicks on the caller's name, phone number, or the phrase "Private Number," a return call is initiated by the called party's computer. If the called party clicks on or otherwise activates the "playback" link, the message left by the caller will be played back by the computer system to the called party. Alternatively, the messages can be played back by the called party's terminal in substantially real-time as the messages are being recorded so long as the messages do not overlap in time. For calls placed by a fax device, when a called party clicks on the "Play" control or the log entry, the fax is displayed to the called party via the browser or other viewer. Optionally, the fax can also be downloaded from the Web site to the user computer or other terminal.
As discussed above, the customer may configure to receive an email notification when a fax call is received. The email notification may be optionally configured to include the fax as an attachment. The email includes name and/or phone number information (and optionally other information) about the fax sender if available. An example email notification is illustrated in
A widget or gadget that can provide some or all of the functionality described herein with respect to
Still additional example fax routing processes and systems will now be described.
A sender's fax device 2 is connected to the public telephone network 4 and a subscriber's data device 10 is connected to the data communications network 6. A fax processing system 24 is connected to both networks 4, 6. The connections can be made either directly or indirectly. For example, the sender's fax device 2 could be a fax machine plugged into a telephone jack or routed through a PBX. It could also be a computer (e.g., a fax server) with fax transmission software that is connected to the public telephone network 4 via a LAN and a gateway (between the LAN and the telephone network). On the subscriber side, examples of the subscriber's data device 10 include computers, PDAs, and devices that combine both voice and data (e.g., a Handspring Treo, a smartphone utilizing a Microsoft or Symbian operating system, a Blackberry from Research In Motion, LTD, etc.). The data device 10 can be connected to the data communications network 6 by any means, including for example by a dial-up connection, a broadband connection (e.g., DSL, cable, or direct fiber), a direct connection to the core of the data communications network 6, or wireless access. The connections can be either permanent or temporary. In addition, although the fax processing system 24 is shown in
In an example scenario, a sender would like to send a fax to the subscriber. The terms sender and subscriber are used loosely and may include people, companies, and computers, for example. In a direct fax-to-fax transmission, the sender's fax device 2 would dial the phone number for the subscriber's fax device 12, and the fax would be routed through the public telephone network 4 to the subscriber's fax device 12, which would then print out or otherwise display the fax.
Use of the fax processing system 24 allows for more sophisticated fax handling options.
As part of its fax handling, the fax processing system 24 may also determine 54 whether the subscriber is connected to the data communications network 6 and, if connected, the network address being used by the subscriber. If the subscriber is connected, the fax processing system 24 can immediately or in real-time notify 56 the subscriber of the incoming fax call at the subscriber's network address. Upon receipt of the notification, the subscriber may send 60 additional instructions to the fax processing system 24. In this way, the subscriber will not have to wait for the fax processing system 24 to receive the entire fax. After notifying the subscriber, the fax processing system 24 can begin streaming the incoming fax to the subscriber for display as it is being received. The subscriber may send additional instructions 60 to the fax processing system 24 in response to either receipt of the fax or the notification. In an alternate embodiment, the fax processing system 24 may automatically transmit the fax to the subscriber without first sending a fax notification.
If the subscriber is not connected to the data communications network 6, the fax processing system 24 can store 62 the fax. When the subscriber later connects 54 to the data communications network 6, fax handling can proceed as before.
The use of a fax processing system 24 has many advantages over direct fax-to-fax transmission or over current fax-to-email systems. The fax processing system 24 can be used to implement more sophisticated call handling features, for example using rules based on the sender's phone number or time of day. If the fax processing system 24 is accessible by the subscriber (e.g., over the Internet), then it may be simple for the subscriber to change the rules whenever he likes. The fax processing system 24 also allows the subscriber to more easily change or use different phone numbers and network addresses. For example, the subscriber may use different phone numbers for different purposes (e.g., one for business faxes, one for personal faxes, one for faxes from creditors). Different rules may apply to the different phone numbers, but faxes from all phone numbers may be sent to the same network address so that the subscriber can view all faxes from a single network address. Alternatively, the subscriber can use multiple network addresses so that he can view faxes from a number of different locations or data devices.
The streaming aspect, if implemented, allows subscribers to handle faxes in a more real-time fashion. For example, two colleagues may be working on a document and one wants to share a drawing with the other. He can fax the drawing to his coworker's phone number, and the drawing is streamed to the coworker's desktop. Compare this to a fax-to-email system where the entire fax must first be received, then packaged as an attachment to an email, and then sent to the coworker. Assuming that the email with attachment is not stripped by firewalls or other protections, the coworker must then wait for delivery (which often can be delayed), and then must open the email and then the attachment. Other advantages will be apparent.
Referring back to
A ten-digit North American telephone number (shown as 131) is assigned to the subscriber during the FL registration process. Calls to the FL phone number 131 route through the PSTN via InterExchange Carrier (IXC) switches and/or Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) switches to eventually terminate at the fax processing system 124. The fax machine 102 and the assigned FL phone number 131 can be connected to the same switch or different switches. If the fax machine 102 and FL number 131 are coupled to the same switch, the switch will be local to both the calling and called parties, as with intra-LATA or local calls. If the fax machine 102 and FL number 131 are coupled to different switches, each switch may be local only to one of the parties, as is the case for non-local calls such as inter-LATA (long-distance) calls.
In the example of
The FL trunk circuits 118 are not limited to a particular signaling convention. For example, the present invention can be utilized with a Common Channel Signaling (CCS) system, such as Signaling System 7 (SS7), that has separate voice/user data and signaling channels. In addition, the present invention can be used with other signaling methods, such as the following trunk-side signaling interfaces: ISDN-PRI, Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN), and/or Service Node architectures. Preferably, the selected signaling system provides a suite of call-presentation information to the fax processing system 124, including one or more of the following:
ANI—Automatic Number Identification ("Caller ID"): phone number and privacy indicator of the calling party (the sender in this example).
DNIS—Dialed Number Identification System: phone number of the called party (the FL phone number in this example).
The telephone line 114 may be shared with one or more computer terminals. For example, telephone 112 shares the telephone line 114 with a computer terminal 110. In this example, the telephone line 114 is used to establish a dial-up connection for a computer terminal 110, via the computer modem, to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) offering dial-in remote-access service connections from the PSTN 104 via trunk interface circuits 120. The computer terminal 110 can also be connected to the Internet 106 via a broadband connection (such as a DSL or cable modem service, or a T1 line). While the subscriber's data device is shown as a computer terminal 110 in
In this implementation, a client application 116 for the fax processing system 124 resides and executes on the computer terminal 110. The client application 116 is connected to, and communicates with, the fax processing system 124 via the Internet 106. The fax processing system 124 and the client application 116 can optionally be used with the trigger-based fax handling processes and system described above.
The fax processing system 124 optionally hosts a web site used by subscribers of the FL service to set up and manage their accounts. Set-up and management functions can be implemented by the client application 116 as well.
The SM subsystem 122 monitors the Internet for online IP devices registered to subscribers to determine their availability for receiving faxes. When a subscriber connects to the Internet using a dial-up ISP, for example, the client application 116 makes the subscriber's online presence known to the fax processing system 124. Presence detection can be performed by the SM subsystem 122 polling or pinging the client application 116, or by the client application 116 transmitting a "Login/I'm alive" message and/or subsequent periodic "Keep alive" messages to the SM subsystem 122. This is just one example of presence management. Broader presence management techniques could be employed including IETF SIMPLE technology.
If, rather than using a dial-up connection, the subscriber is using a broadband, always-on connection, such as a DSL or cable modem service, the client application 116 typically becomes active when the computer terminal 110 is turned on or powered up, and it stays on until the subscriber manually shuts down the client application 116 or the computer 110 is turned off or powered down.
The sending party initiates a fax call using his fax machine 102 by dialing 401 the subscriber's FL number 131. The PSTN 104 routes 402 this call to the FM subsystem 108 in the fax processing system 124. The fax processing system 124 receives 403 the incoming call and based at least in part on the phone number called (obtainable by DNIS for example), the FM subsystem 108 queries the SM subsystem 122 and the DB subsystem 136 to determine whether the called number is registered to a subscriber, what the subscriber's fax handling preferences are, and whether the subscriber is online.
If the FL subscriber's computer terminal 110 is online, the FM subsystem 108 opens a communication channel over the Internet 106 to the client application 116 running on the subscriber's computer terminal 110. The fax processing system 124 transmits 404 a fax call notification to the subscriber's computer terminal 110.
If available, and if not designated as private, the Caller ID of the sending party is transmitted 404 to the client application 116 and displayed along with an optional sound notification. The Caller ID may come from different sources. For example, the sending fax device may provide caller identification information, or it may be provided during setup of the call by the telephone network. The information may also be automatically entered into the subscriber's address book. The sound notification can be in the form of ringing, which is produced through the called party's computer terminal 110 speakers. In addition, the FM subsystem 108 performs a Caller Name database lookup using the Caller ID of the calling party. The Caller Name, if available, is transmitted 404 to the client application 116 and displayed to the subscriber.
Around the same time (it may be before or after), the fax processing system 124 answers 405 the incoming call and establishes 405 a full duplex, (two-way) talk path with the sending party. The fax processing system 124 negotiates 406 a fax transmission session with the fax machine 102 and begins to receive the fax. The FM subsystem 108 records and stores the caller's fax message in the MS subsystem 138 while simultaneously streaming 408 the fax through the opened Internet channel to the client application 116 on the subscriber's computer terminal 110. The client application 116 launches the computer terminal's 110 image-viewing software (for example, Adobe Acrobat) to display the streamed fax pages on the computer terminal's 110 monitor. The fax transmission 408 to the subscriber can begin regardless of whether the entire fax has been received 407 by the fax processing system 124.
When the sending fax machine 102 completes the fax transmission, it terminates 409 the call. The fax processing system 124 then releases trunk resources and signals 410 Call termination to the PSTN 104. The fax processing system 124 also signals 411 completion of the fax transmission to the subscriber by sending a corresponding control message which is displayed to the subscriber via the client application 116 as an entry in the call log (for example, 5 page fax 610).
Steps 401-411 illustrate one approach for streaming of a fax to a subscriber. Many variations will be apparent. For example, if the subscriber's connection to the Internet 106 is a narrow-band dial-up connection over a telephone line 114, a hybrid real-time solution can be used. Instead of transmitting the fax to the subscriber's computer terminal 110 at the maximum data rate possible, the FM subsystem 108 working in conjunction with the client application 116 begins to "trickle" download the fax from the MS subsystem 138 to the subscriber's computer terminal 110 over the open Internet communication channel 106. In one approach, the fax is divided into smaller files that are downloaded and reassembled by the client application 116 on the subscriber's computer terminal 110. In another, the fax is simply transmitted at a lower data rate than the maximum available, for example in order to reduce congestion across the subscriber's Internet connection. Whatever the implementation, trickle download helps ensure that bandwidth is available to the subscriber for other purposes. The trickle download can transition to a faster download, for example if the subscriber requests to view the fax immediately. The trickle download may also be interrupted if the Internet connection 114, 120, 142 is terminated. On the next Internet connection, the client application 116 can resume the trickle download where it left off. In some cases, downloads will be visible to the subscriber as an active call state, as shown for example in a pop-up window. Alternately, the subscriber can determine the data rate used to download the fax.
In another variation, a client/server protocol can be designed to operate through private and public firewalls. In this approach, the client application 116 opens a channel through the firewall by initiating "trusted" communication from inside the firewall to the fax processing system 124 outside the firewall. The client application 116 sends a "keep alive" packet through the firewall, over the Internet channel 106 to the SM subsystem 122. This "keep alive" message creates an open channel through the firewall along with a back channel from the SM subsystem 122 to the client application 116 to allow a reply with an acknowledgement message. When a new fax call is presented at the FM subsystem 108, the FM sends a call presented message to the SM subsystem 122, which relays the message to the client application 116 over this back channel. The call presented message includes the network address of the FM and can be used by the client application 116 to initiate streaming of the fax message by directly sending a new message to the FM subsystem 108 thereby opening an additional pair of communication paths. The FM subsystem 108 then acknowledges receipt of this message from the client and begins delivering the stream of fax content on the additional back channel.
In addition to receiving faxes or fax notifications, the subscriber may also be presented with different fax handling options.
If the subscriber ignores the notification pop-up menu, the fax processing system 124 will handle the fax according to the subscriber's default rules. For example, the subscriber may have selected for the fax to be automatically streamed to his computer terminal. Alternately, the subscriber may have selected for the fax to be stored until the subscriber affirmatively elects to retrieve the fax.
Alternately, the subscriber may choose to ignore the incoming fax. For example, the fax may not have been urgent enough to interrupt what the subscriber was doing, or the fax may have been intended for another member of the household. The subscriber can close the fax handling options dialog box shown in
As another option, the subscriber may choose not to accept calls from the sending party. Referring to
The options dialog box could pop an additional query to determine if the subscriber would like the fax processing system 124 to always apply this treatment to future calls from this sender phone number. This automatic fax handling rule can be stored in a table of subscriber preference settings for the fax processing system 124, for example in DB subsystem 136 as a simple extension table of the subscriber's address book. If directed to do so, the fax processing system 124 would automatically block future calls from this sender and relieve the subscriber from having to handle them.
As another variation, the subscriber can monitor the Caller ID and Caller Name of the incoming call and decide not to accept calls from this sender. The fax processing system 124 could be optionally configured to delay answering the incoming fax for a fixed time interval or for a specific number of ring cycles in order to allow the subscriber time to review the Caller ID and Caller Name. If the client application 116 instructs the fax processing system 124 to block the call before the incoming call has been answered, the fax processing system 124 will ignore the call (that is, let it ring) or reject it with an appropriate error tone and/or audible error message; e.g., a network reorder tone or special information tone along with a system error announcement (these methods can defeat fax spam systems). If the client application 116 instruction comes after the incoming call has been answered, the fax processing system 124 will handle the fax as described above.
The client application 116 provides the subscriber with additional utility including but not limited to: the ability from the menu option 690 to forward the fax as an attachment to an email address or fax to another fax number, delete the fax from the call log 660, launch a viewer 650 to display the fax on the computer or on a printer, scroll through a list of voice and fax calls 680, and undelete a previously deleted fax from the menu option 690.
As another variation of fax handling, the following process describes a scenario when the subscriber's computer terminal 110 is offline. When the fax call arrives on one of the FL trunks 118, along with the signaling information, the FM subsystem 108 queries the SM subsystem 122 and/or the DB subsystem 136 using the incoming call's DNIS (called number) to determine whether the call is for a registered subscriber, what the subscriber's online/offline presence status is, and to retrieve that subscriber's fax handling preference rules. If the fax processing system 124 determines that the subscriber is not connected (i.e., he is offline or otherwise unavailable), the fax processing system will carry out default rules for handling the call. These default rules may be the same for all subscribers or they may be individually determined by subscribers.
An example default rule is to answer the call and record the fax, for later notification and/or transmission when the subscriber comes online. Other fax handling rules could include the fax handling options described previously. For example, the CM subsystem 108 may optionally block the incoming fax based on the Caller ID. Regardless, when the subscriber subsequently connects to the Internet over a broadband or dial-up connection 114, 120, the client application 116 checks in with the SM subsystem 122. Client synchronization allows faxes not previously received by the client application 116 to be presented. In this implementation, new faxes delivered by synchronization are treated in the same fashion as new calls that were received directly by the client application 116 when the subscriber's computer terminal 110 was online. Furthermore, the process of trickle or burst downloading of faxes can begin as described above. As an additional option, a message-waiting indication can be activated or a Short Message Service (SMS) message or paging alert sent if any new faxes are placed into the call log. Message-waiting indication is active until the faxes have been viewed or the message-waiting light/icon has been deactivated by the subscriber.
The detailed description contains many specifics. These should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention but merely as illustrating different examples and aspects of the invention. It should be appreciated that the scope of the invention includes other embodiments not discussed in detail above. Various other modifications, changes and variations which will be apparent to those skilled in the art may be made in the arrangement, operation and details of the method and apparatus of the present invention disclosed herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the claims. Therefore, the scope of the invention should be determined by the claims and their legal equivalents. Furthermore, no element, component or method step is intended to be dedicated to the public regardless of whether the element, component or method step is explicitly recited in the claims.

The shell fit perfectly, but he cardigan sweater was too large. The size was a petite medium; I am hoping to be able to exchange the sweater for a smaller size
New Bern, NC
The sweater arrived promptly. I've ordered from Chadwick's in the past, and although the twin set is nice, I was disappointed in the quality compared to past purchases. Even on sale, I thought the quality wasn't up to par for the price. I am glad I did not pay full price for the set.
San Diego, CA

Fayette, MO

Seating for Hockey at the Barclays Center Will Actually Be Horseshoe Shaped
Just before tickets went on sale for the Islanders' pre-season game in Brooklyn last week, I quickly posted a seating chart of the Barclays Center's setup for hockey via the Ticketmaster website (at right, click to enlarge). The setup looked promising, showing available seating in the lower and upper bowls on the side where the rink will displace a lot of the lower bowl seating.
Leading up to this, the thinking was that the seating areas on that side would not have a good view of the near net, which would make those seats pretty undesirable. All of that guesswork was given life because the arena's planners went back and forth on whether or not to design it to fit hockey. As you can see, they decided against fitting the arena for hockey. That's a decision that may come back to bite them given the state of affairs between Nassau County and the Islanders — cold, at best — as the team heads towards a 2015 end to their lease and, potentially, greener pastures elsewhere. But I digress.
What's interesting to note — and I know this has been out there for a few days — is that I have to update you on a presumably more accurate version of the seating chart for hockey at the Barclays. Actually it's not presumed to be more accurate, it is accurate because it's on the Barclays' own website.
(Sidenote: Notice on that page linked above how even though the game is referred to as "Islanders vs. Devils" there are no Devils logos only a big, honking Islanders logo. Hmmm…)
As you can see, this image differs drastically from the one on the Ticketmaster website. In this version there is no available seating on the upper tier in sections 201, 202, 230 and 231. The two sections on either side of those sections are also priced at the lowest rate, $14.50, and referred to as "limited view". There is also no lower bowl seating whatsoever in one defensive zone. If you've ever been to the Coliseum for an event and seen sections in the 100s pushed back, that's the idea in part of the lower bowl.
By the looks of it the seating area of the modified arena isn't atrocious, but it's a dramatic shift from what we saw from Ticketmaster last week. It will sort of be like a concert where the stage is in one end of the arena, with no one sitting behind or to the sides of the performers. Visually this is going to be a weird effect but it will have no bearing on the capacity of the arena. A spokesman for the Nets was adamant that the arena would hold 14,500 for hockey when we spoke via email earlier in the year. Whether this modified seating arrangement would also affect the availability or sight lines of suites in the arena is unconfirmed (but there are 130 of them, so yeah, I would imagine some of them would be affected).
So what does this do to the viability of the arena for hockey? If you can get past the weird setup, not a whole lot has changed. The capacity is going to be the same and the NHL has no mandate for minimum capacity. There will still be a ton of suites. Even if the sight lines for a third of them unusable, that still leaves 85(!) suites. Compare that to 32 at the Coliseum.
The concern — and remember we're getting really ahead of ourselves in the first place by assuming the Islanders are even going to Brooklyn — is whether or not this team could be profitable at the Barclays. With a reduced capacity and closer proximity to a larger population, that should drive ticket prices up no matter how good or bad the team is (for comparison, ask your Ranger fan friends how much they pay at the Garden. They won't be happy to discuss it). So there will be plenty of money to be made if people decide they want to go to the games.
In terms of determining if people would actually want to go the most important question is; will the team be any good? That's going to determine, more than anything else, how viable any franchise would be. If Islander fans in Nassau are willing to put up with traffic, an outdated arena, and $10 parking to see a sub par team, imagine how many would take the train to the shiny new arena if the team was good. And people who work in the city would actually be able to make it to the arena in time for a 7pm start. So in my opinion yes, the Islanders in Brooklyn is an easily viable experiment if the team is able to win games consistently.

By MELANIE STEELESun Advocate Reporter
After a stellar performance in the first three quarters of Tuesday night's game against North Sanpete, Carbon's star fell from the basketball heavens.
The Dinos outscored the Hawks 22-11 in the first quarter, fluidly rebounding, driving and shooting the ball.
However, early foul trouble in the first half lead to a second half change from man to zone defense and opened a window for the Hawks to crawl in.
The Dinos were able to stave off an uprise in the third quarter, keeping pace with North Sanpete and entering the fourth quarter only down by three.
However, two quick three-pointers to open the quarter began a Hawk run that did not end until the buzzer.
"We came out and they hit two big threes on us and put us in the hole," head coach Ted Bianco commented. "We just weren't putting in what they were taking out."
According to Bianco, the foul trouble limited what the team could do defensively and gave the Hawks some offensive confidence. As a result, North Sanpete was able to outscore the Dinos 23-9 in the final quarter and cruise to a 68-51 win.
Eleven Hawk players were able to contribute points in the game, overshadowing the seven Carbon scorers who combined for seven three-pointers.
The Dinos drop to 1-4 in region eight play with the loss. North Sanpete rises to 3-3.
Carbon will play region and area rival Emery High this Friday at Emery.
