Abstract

A communications controller is provided for empowering the user of a communications device, such as a telephone or other device, to assume control over incoming communications. Each caller is identified by unique identification information as information associated with an incoming communication. The user selects one of a plurality of different priority levels for a particular caller. The user also selects block time intervals for each priority to indicate times during which calls will not be passed to user's communications device or other appropriate action is to be taken. When that particular caller places a call to the user, the user's communication controller determines the caller's identification information and recalls the priority and corresponding blocking time interval for that particular caller. The call is accordingly passed to the communication device or blocked.

Description of the invention (meaning) (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) The relationship between the calling device and the receiving device, and shows how the calling device 1101 and the receiving device 1014 are separated from the central office equipment. The function of the present invention is implemented in the receiving device, and therefore has nothing to do with the function of the central office. The disclosed communication controller allows consumers to effectively control the time of day or night when a call is allowed to ring / notify an incoming call. It also allows consumers to establish the priority of incoming calls. These priorities are then used to automatically route calls to the consumer through the telephone in a way that suits the specific needs and price of the consumer. If desired, unwanted incoming calls (for example, from salespeople and harassers) will not even ring. Therefore, under the choice of the receiver, the receiver will not be disturbed. The disclosed controller advantageously converts the telephone into a controllable device that provides timely, efficient, and effective communications with added cost. The disclosed communication controller is first described in terms of its functions in relation to other telephone communication device functions. The representative hardware used to implement this controller will be described in detail later. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs More specifically, FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram showing the overall relationship of the disclosed communication controller 100 with respect to other telephone communication device functions. The processing of a particular incoming call provided via the communication controller depends on time and incoming call priority. It should be noted that the communication controller and related control logic can be applied together with other consumer telephone devices (such as telephones, answering machines, caller ID devices, computers, telephone / TV solutions) and Create consumer products. 11 This paper size applies to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) + " " 499806 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (1) The communication controller can also be implemented in the telephone service switchboard, and Provided to consumers by telephone service. In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the instant response device function 101, the message response device function 102, and the caller identification device function 103 can be implemented as an integrated device or independently support the communication controller function 100. The instant answering device function 101 (for example, a telephone device) provides interactive support required by a communication device such as a telephone. Examples of support provided by this device are ringing / announcement, call transfer, call waiting, and paging users to answer incoming calls immediately. The message answering device function 102 (for example, an answering machine) provides the passive support required by the communication device. Examples of support provided by this device are playback, storage, and recording of message data (eg, voice messages, emails, multi-media mail), and users can call / contact at their convenience but not necessarily Respond during placement or agreement. A communication line 104 (e.g., a telephone line or cable) connected to another communication device is coupled to the caller identification device function 103. The calling party identification (ID) device 103 transmits incoming call data, for example, the calling party ID data to the communication controller 100. The communication controller 100 uses the received caller ID data to handle incoming calls. If the incoming caller ID data of a particular incoming call is not available, the communication controller 100 will use a message answering device (such as a telephone answering machine) function 102 to play an outgoing message. (OGM) to prompt callers to enter their identification information. When this communication controller 100 tried to obtain this information, the paper size of this paper was applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Order- ------- Line—printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 499806 A7 B7 printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs π 5. Description of the invention ('It will continue to process the call. As a result, The communication controller 100 will use: 1) Instant answering device function 101 to ring / notify the telephone device, transfer the call, call the person who called, support the remote control of the device, terminate the call, via a specific A beep sound indicates to the user to wait for a call, or, 2) a message answering device (for example, a telephone answering machine) functions 102 to release an appropriate OGM and allow the caller to leave a message. Interface 105 supports communication to send and route data between the system functions in Figure 1 described above. Incoming caller ID data may be dependent on the originating device (identifier of the originating device of the call) or on the calling party (identification of the individual caller / individual) . Consumer products using today's technology's caller identification device function 103 are device dependent and provide the caller's phone number and / or name. However, according to the implementation method of the communication controller 100, this data may be the Ip address of a node on the network or other device identifier data. Conversely, caller ID data based on the caller can use such elements as follows: 1) The caller's personal account information (for example, account number, email address, Internet address, etc. .); 2) According to the voice data determined by the speakers, individuals speak their names in order to obtain their temporal voice signal data to indicate their identity; and 3) video data, the caller's unique identification Character image frames (for example, 13 paper sizes are applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210 X 297 mm) --------- * IIIIII 1 ^ --------- (Please Read the notes on the back before filling out this page) Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 499806 A7 B7 5. Description of the invention (α), caller's face, retina scan, fingerprint / thumb fingerprint, etc. ) In this embodiment, the communication controller 100 is not based on the caller id data / media format. Instead, the controller 100 only conforms to the data format used by the calling party identification device function 103, which is an external interface of the communication controller 100. The communication controller 100 simply uses this information about the caller, regardless of its form (for example, device-dependent or caller-dependent) to determine the priority given to the caller right. (The communication controller 100 uses the incoming caller ID data to try to compare this data with the caller ID data stored in its database for the determination of the priority of the call.) Figures 2A and 2B— Forms a flowchart describing the flow of operations performed by the communication controller 100 system. The steps shown in Figures 2A and 2B provide an example of the control logic necessary to specify routing and handle incoming calls. The operation starts at the monitor of the incoming call step 200, and when the incoming call is received, a test is performed by the communication controller 100 at decision block 201 to determine the incoming caller ID data does it exist. If the caller ID data exists, it will be read for further processing and monitoring of the incoming password entered from the caller, which is executed at 202. A check is performed at 203 to determine if an incoming password exists. When an incoming password is received, as shown in the bypass block 204, the communication controller logic is bypassed and the call control is directly routed to the instant answering device 101. However, if the caller ID information does not exist, at 212, an outbound message (OGM) is released and the caller is required to provide their caller ID information.

When the -enter password is received 'as shown in the bypass block 204' the communication controller logic is bypassed 'and the control of the call is directly routed to the instant answering device ΗΠ. However, if the entry password is not found at the test site, then a check is performed at 2 丨 5 to see if the caller ID data has now been provided by the caller. The communication controller 100 then monitors whether there is any caller ID data received. If test 215 determines that the caller ID data has not been received, then the attempt to obtain the caller ID data from the caller at 216 is incremented by one. An entry check is performed at 217 to determine if the caller has been asked to provide their caller ID less than the maximum allowed number of times. If the maximum number of attempts is not exceeded, the communication controller 100 will be 'programmed to send control information to the telephone device as indicated by block 212 to hang up or repeat the request to obtain the caller ID information ( OGM). This iterative process can be repeated a selected number of times based on a maximum threshold. When the calling party is unable to provide valid calling party ID information after being provided the maximum number of attempts, the priority of the call is set to an unknown calling party in block 218 to support further progress deal with. However, if test 215 finds that the calling party has provided their calling party ID information, a calling party ID database searches for calling party ID information called 205 at calling party ID database 206 Field. This search attempts to find the calling party that matches the currently identified calling party ID. 15 This paper size applies to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm).

Description of Invention (d) Priority 500 is a combination of the specified important operation of the telephone device Is defined. (It should be remembered that the controller retrieves the blocked time information from the blocked time database of FIG. 4, and the controller retrieves the incoming call priority from the caller database of FIG. 3.) An emergency call 503 is performed at the time when the call is blocked, and under the condition that the incoming call priority 500 is specified, the required important operation of the telephone device is defined. Again, under the condition that the call is made at an allowable time 502 and the priority 500 of the incoming call is specified, the desired important operation of the telephone device is defined. The operation system of this telephone device includes a caller identification device function 103, a message response device function 102, and an instant response device function 101. Some of these operations include the following, but are not limited to: • Provide a specific ring pattern (with multiple ring pattern options) • Provide a specific announcement for a specific caller • Provide with or without opportunity Leave a message to the caller with a specific OGM (with multiple OGM options) • Terminate the call (for example, hang up the phone without ringing) • When the call is routed to ring and the user advances When this option is selected, call transfer / paging • call waiting will send a beep signal to the user on the phone. This beep may correspond to a form of priority beep to inform the user of the importance of the call before it interrupts the existing conversation. In one embodiment, the implementation of the software of the communication controller 100 can be programmed to directly support the flowcharts of Figures 2A and 2B. This method 22 This paper size is in accordance with Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 x 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs-# ______丨 丨 tT _________ f · _____________________ 499806 Printed by the Consumers ’Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs A7 ______B7 _ 5. Description of the invention (y °) will be discussed later. However, another method of software implementation of the control logic of this communication controller is to use fuzzy inference logic (FIL). Figure 6 is a flowchart describing the unique processing required to support FIL processing. Note that the same initial processing flow as described in Figure 2A is used to monitor an incoming call. This priority is obtained at step 600 and the call time information is obtained at 601. The fuzzy set attribution function is then generated for a particular caller priority 602. The explicit caller priority and time was obtained at 603 and used to manipulate the fuzzy set of this FIL. As shown in step 604, this is to obfuscate the data to a degree of attribution relative to the puppets. The FIL rule system is then applied at 605. As shown at 606, the rule that produces the strongest result is an operation that is considered to be an important function that the device should perform, which corresponds to a clear output. Then, this output operation control data is routed to other telephone functions at 607. For example, the implementation of this FIL may be a fuzzy set using two conditions. A conditional fuzzy set is a time condition for the blocking of a specific priority, and its performance is shown in FIG. 7. Another conditional fuzzy set is relative caller priority as described in FIG. So far the clear input of FIL is: 1) The actual time of the call with hour / minute / date data is related. 2) The relative priority of the caller pre-selected by the user. This example uses the following related explicit 値 · · 1 = Priority 1-Harassment (lowest priority) 2 = Priority 2-Begging for 23 scales Applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (21〇X 297 mm) ---- ------- III ^ · Ιί I I--II AW (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 499806 A7 ___ _ B7 V.

The blocking time interval function is based on the duration of this time interval. As can be seen in Fig. 7, one way to achieve the time-blocking interval function is to make this function maintain a degree of belonging to 1 of the period of 90% at approximately the center between 702 and 703. The remaining 10% of this period is divided into intervals between points 701 to 702 and 703 to 704. For example, if the time interval of this block starts at 9 pm and ends at 6 am, resulting in a period of 540 minutes, 90% of this interval is between 702 and 703 of 486 minutes, and it will remain at 1 degree. The remaining 54 minutes is divided by 2 to produce a 27 minute period. For the starting point of the generated function, the degree of attribution is a degree of rising from 0 to 1 within these 27-minute periods 701, 702. As for the end point, the degree of attribution at the end point of the blocking time interval is 0 'and the blocking time interval is 1 in the last 27 minutes. Conversely, the 'tolerable time interval function' can be generated using this same logic. Figure 8 describes the performance of the caller's priority fuzzy set. This fuzzy set keeps the attribution function related to its explicit priority input 値. This kind of performance is to map the calling party's priority to the following related entry conditions: 24.
