Definitions
- the present invention is concerned with a method and apparatus for legally compliant archival of telephony content.
- a legally compliant long-term preservation option for telephone calls and faxes should be created here.
- Object of the present invention was therefore to develop a solution by means of which a telephone connection can be controlled so that, depending on the consent of the caller to a recording a record of telephone conversations is carried out and this record legally safe, data protection compliant and can be stored under preservation of the special evidential force recorded natural language in an archive data storage for long-term preservation. Likewise, a verifiable archiving of fax transmissions should be made possible.
- the time-stamped and signed audio file can be stored in an archive memory for long-term archiving for fax content, whereby the distinction between fax content and voice content is automatic
- a management module (S) to which an internal data memory (T1) and / or one or more external data memories (T2, T3) are connected, d. a configuration module (K) for configuring the control module (A) and the management module (S),
- Communication module (I) is connected to one or more telephony terminals and / or a telephone system,
- V Communication module
- Communication module (X) is connected to a ⁇ server, - Configuration module (K) and management module (S) have a network connection option for clients.
- Control module (A) is used to control conversations of any kind. This module is configured by the configuration module (K). There are special connection variants in the form of modules (I), (V) and (X).
- Communication module (I) is used for the communication of control module (A) with one or more telephone terminals and / or a telephone system, communication module (V) for the communication of control module (A) with a VoIP server and communication module (X) of communication an IAX server.
- Communication module (I) preferably controls an ISDN card with connections via S0 buses and multiplex and is also connected to one or more telephony terminals and / or a telephone system.
- the communication module (V) provides communication to a VoIP server and preferably has SIP / SIPS and / or H.323 protocols and is correspondingly connected to SIP / SIPS and / or H.323 servers.
- the configuration of the modules (I), (V) and (X) is flexible and takes place via the configuration module (K). Most preferably, the configuration module (K) is executed as a web service.
- one or more fax machines are connected to the communication module (I), communication module (V) and / or communication module (X) to allow an original fax output in addition to the archival.
- Management module (S) is used to manage the control module (A) and the legally compliant archiving of the data from the control module (A).
- the management module (S) is also configured via configuration module (K).
- the management module (S) also has connection to the data memory (T1) stored in the system and / or one or more external data memories (T2) and (T3) configured via the configuration module (K).
- T1 data memory
- T2 external data memories
- T3 external data memories
- K configuration module
- For archiving four different scenarios are provided, which represent different scenarios of a possible telephone conversation with its recording and control. These individual scenarios can be configured in detail independently of each other. Each scenario can be assigned to specific numbers (one or more). It is also possible to specify via which ports (ISDN port, ⁇ port or VoIP access) a specific defined scenario can be achieved by the communication modules (I), (V) and (X). It is finally possible to define many scenarios, also for different areas or companies in different languages. Hosting is also possible.
- the announcements and confirmations of the recording are helpful for a legally compliant recording and archiving of the conversations, in particular to meet privacy concerns.
- the method according to the invention defines four scenarios: gateway, forward, conference and conference with callback, as well as fax.
- the scenario Gateway is shown schematically.
- the system prompts the caller to enter (or otherwise transmit) a phone number. This number is then called by the system and the person called is asked whether he agrees to a recording of the call or not. If rejected, the conversation could be instant to be ended. The caller is informed of the decision of the called party, then both parties are connected.
- Fig. 3 the scenario forward is shown schematically.
- the idea of this scenario is to specify a fixed destination number or even a number pool to which the call is forwarded.
- a caller calls the system and is initially asked if he or she agrees to a recording of the following conversation.
- the caller can agree or reject this record by pressing one of two configured buttons.
- a verbal approval via speech recognition is possible.
- a rejection can also be deactivated, so that only a confirmation takes place or the caller must hang up, if he contradicts the recording. It can be configured whether the call will be terminated immediately if the recording is rejected.
- the specified destination numbers are called by the system according to a defined scheme and the caller is notified of the status of the caller's selection if configured. Furthermore, it is possible to require no input of a key or verbal consent, a rejection must be made in the case by hanging up or a subsequent stop the recording. Subsequently, both participants are connected in the system and the participants in the conversation are in contact with each other. A recording has been running since the beginning of the announcement that the call is being recorded, the record being deleted if the consent is denied. It is possible to define which telephone numbers are allowed to reach this scenario and whether this can only be achieved by internal or external telephone numbers.
- FIGS. 4a, 4b and 5 The third scenario Conference and Conference with callback is shown in FIGS. 4a, 4b and 5.
- Fig. 4a shows the process of a telephone system that allows an immediate start a three-party conference.
- Fig. 4b shows the corresponding variant of a telephone system that allows the beginning of a three-way conference only by merging held connections.
- the system can be switched at any time for the purpose of recording. This then forms a conference call in a broader sense.
- the caller of the device or all subscribers hear the confirmation that is being recorded immediately.
- the call must be returned to the previous call.
- a recording if configured, can be stopped or otherwise controlled at any time. Each participant in the conversation has the opportunity to do so.
- Fig. 5 shows the flow of the conference callback.
- This scenario differs from the aforementioned conference scenario in that the caller of the system is asked to end his call immediately. The rest of the participants are then asked if they agree to a record of the conversation or reject it. If rejected, the conference call can be ended immediately. When a recording is made, this is said and the caller is called back by the system, the decision is sent to him and he is reintegrated into the existing conference call.
- the callback guarantees that the other party (s) of the conference who did not start the recording will in any case take note of the message and optional approval, whereas the aforementioned conference scenario can not guarantee this depending on the telephone system.
- the fourth scenario, Fax does not include a request to approve the recording, as no consent is necessary and possible.
- the distinction between language content and faxes is automatic. A distinction must be made between incoming and outgoing faxes.
- the system For outgoing faxes, the system is called by the internal fax machine / fax server, determines the destination phone number, and connects to the fax machine or fax server.
- the destination number can be determined, for example, from a suffix of the selected fax number whose prefix is the internal number of the system.
- the system connects to the internal fax machine / fax server. Then, the fax is recorded at one time, and the communication between the fax machine to which it is to be forwarded and the fax machine that sends the fax is passed through 1: 1, so that the fax machines do not notice that the faxes are archived on the system were, d. H. the recording is transparent to them.
- a recording file for fax transmissions is an audio file, in particular a compressed format, preferably MP3 or WMA, a digital ISDN file, a graphics file, in particular TIF or JPG, and / or a document file, in particular PDF or, after previous OCR conversion, a text file.
- an audio file in particular a compressed format, preferably MP3 or WMA, a digital ISDN file, a graphics file, in particular TIF or JPG, and / or a document file, in particular PDF or, after previous OCR conversion, a text file.
- One possible variant for fax operation is to transfer the fax data transmitted to the management module (S), eg. B. controlled by a set of rules, by e-mail to print, print and archive, or after the disclosure to delete, filter or only to archive and send a notification.
- S management module
- the recording file is provided with a timestamp and advanced signature in all scenarios the filing of the time-stamped and signed recording file in the archive memory for long-term archiving.
- the control of the call recording is shown in FIG.
- the recording status can be controlled during a call, as far as this is configured by the configuration module (K).
- each of the following points can be individually configured and determine whether this is even possible.
- a person authorized to control this can send a control action via a configurable key to the control module (A).
- Control module (A) performs the desired action if necessary.
- a call recording can be paused, started, deleted or restarted. Likewise, if necessary, delete the previous record.
- an announcement is configurable, which both parties hear, and the buttons that lead to this action. Furthermore, the current recording status can be queried.
- the recorded conversation or fax files are cryptographically encrypted before being stored in the archive data store in order to protect them from unauthorized viewing.
- a selection from different announcement texts, in particular in different languages takes place on the basis of the telephone number and / or the country code of the external caller. This ensures that every caller can understand the message.
- the announcements for the caller and the called party can be different.
- a keywording or the setting of metadata after a successful call recording from each client via management module (S) is possible.
- the automatic setting of this metadata by the system is possible based on criteria such as the phone numbers or the scenario or the time. This is done by management module (S) via a set of rules to be configured or a conversion of the call data in text.
- an indexing of the telephone conversation by means of speaker-independent speech recognition from the recorded conversation and filing of the keywords takes place together with the recorded audio file.
- an input mask for information about the telephone call is preferably displayed on a client computer in the case of voice telephony content and this information is stored together with the recorded audio file after the telephone call has ended.
- a recording is in progress. This has the option of talking to the client via a mask on the client or the conversation with the recording Provide metadata and other information.
- this metadata can be set via a program during the call, which signals the beginning, the progress and the end of a call and its recording by the management module (S).
- An advantageous embodiment variant of the method according to the invention provides that, in addition to the recorded audio file, the call number of the internal and / or the external subscriber is stored in the archive data memory as a search criterion and / or authorization criterion for an archive query.
- the system can be used to listen to a recording, download it and check the signature as far as the necessary rights, protected and checked by the management module (S), are met.
