Abstract
An intelligent data network call spawning system monitors a subscriber's interactions on a data network and spawns a call to an information provider. The intelligent data network call set up system monitors the data network user's navigational actions and analyzes the actions with an expert system, for example. The system spawns a call to an information provider based on these actions. The intelligent data network call spawning system includes a call spawning device that serves as an interface between the subscriber and the information provider. The call spawning device supports web sites visited by subscribers and spawns calls to information providers and may coordinate with a call coordination device to provide preamble information to a called party so that the called party is briefed regarding the subject matter of interest to the subscriber.
