Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Prompt issuing protocol for an intercept voice messaging system." This invention describes a voice messaging service system that provides a caller-accepted voice store and forward service. The service offering prompt is issued during dial tone in response to the caller off-hook, advising that the service can be accepted by the caller if the call to the intended recipient is not completed. Alternatively, the service offering prompt can be delayed after the caller off-hook for a time interval sufficient for the caller to dial the telephone number of the intended recipient. Furthermore, the service can be offered for acceptance by the caller without advancing the call to the intended recipient.
Another significant patent by Faix is the "Method and apparatus for defining parameter transmission protocols for a Voice Messaging System (VMS)." This invention offers a voice store and forward service to a caller on an incomplete call. The caller records the voice message at a Message Delivery System (MDS) via an Intercept Processing Unit (IPU) during a recording session. Call-related parameters are transferred from the IPU to the MDS utilizing a handshake protocol specific to the IPU. The VMS accommodates different types of IPUs having various call parameter transfer protocols. The system displays protocol maintenance screens on the administration terminal, including a generic list of call parameters with fields for entering the order and field length of selected parameters to designate a protocol specification to the system.
