In particular, the invention relates to a method and equipment for providing commercial telecommunications services without purchasing specialized telecommunications equipment. Description of related technologies To cater to their needs. For example, a company may purchase a voice mail system with a private branch exchange (PBX) to meet its business telecommunications needs. The purchase of these systems has a fixed high initial cost. This cost can usually be the entire Be distributed in the cycle of business operations. The beginning cost like this is a small amount in the entire business cycle Factors. However, many businesses are short-lived, such as weeks, weeks or less than a year, etc. Those fixed opening costs cannot be effectively shared. In addition, such businesses get The types of equipment that can increase their efficiency and reduce their costs have conventionally formed obstacles. Some regional telephone companies provide a centralized office exchange service.

Description of the invention (2) The service is better known as CENTREX. CENTREX allows businesses to use telephone company equipment as a type of PBX. However, the CENTREX system There are restrictions. For example, most CENTREX systems restrict the phone company's centralized office location to a single location. In addition, 'Business in New York and San Francisco may not be able to use the CENTREX system to meet its needs. Furthermore, PBX and CENTREX systems are lacking Allows business to integrate it with the phone system The workflow automatic control improvement of the workflow. In addition, it needs a method and equipment that provide remote landlord telecommunications services but do not need to purchase special equipment for the business and support the workflow process that ignores the geographical location of the business. The film and TV manufacturing businesses are considered. Looking further at film manufacturing, most individual films are produced by separate legal entities established for the sole purpose of producing movies. Therefore, each business will have a very Short cycle. Further, the photography of a movie may take place across widely dispersed geographical areas including foreign countries. And such conventional PBXs and c ENTREX provide no ability to support the business. Further such business may need to allocate information to its employees and participate in business objectives of entities that are not easily supported by the conventional PBX. Other groups. For example, filmmaking typically requires rapid distribution of information to designated groups. However, such allocations are not easy to accomplish under conventional systems. For example, not everyone works on movies, such as extras, film crews, etc. Maybe there is a familiar office location where they will get voicemail. Further, everyone in that group may have their own preferences.

Invention Explain the contact method of (3). In addition, 'what methods and equipment are needed to allow a business participant to easily assign information to its employees and receive information at their preferences and to allow the person to send a message to be easily reviewed regardless of whether the message has been received and used by them. Submit the message in your preferred format. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A device for providing telecommunications services for businesses is described. The business does not need to purchase dedicated telecommunications equipment such as P B X s or dedicated services such as from the regional telephone company CENTREX. Instead, the business can contract with telecommunications service providers as a mechanism for allocating information to business employees. The device can include a database that includes contact information for people involved in many businesses. For example, the database might contain information about employees working in Film Maker X and Film Maker Y_. This allows employees to maintain their contact information in a single location when they switch between different roles. So, for example, a database might contain information for the majority of the people working in a particular industry, such as the movie industry. For each entity in the database, their contact information can be stored with information about their preferred contact method. Businesses can sequentially identify their employees in the database and further describe their positions within the business, such as their actors, the groups they belong to, their departments, and so on. Therefore, as the database becomes more complete, businesses can spend less labor to launch and aggregate their contact information. Some embodiments of the present invention support the masses to directly modify their own database registration permissions, so it can be maintained in an updated manner.

Invention Description (4) The management interface can be provided by the equipment on the Internet . This interface allows a business to identify a subset of the people in the business's database. This interface can also allow businesses to identify a particular role or position within the business. The management interface may also support the creation of distribution cards based on logical masses to meet business needs. For example, distribution slips can be established in a department by the main part of the department, senior personnel in the main part of the business, such as the deputy general manager and everyone at a higher level, or simply by collecting a group of special business-related People become a group. The device includes a message input mechanism that receives and stores messages from participants in groups working in business. Embodiments of the invention may provide a direct incoming dial (DI) circuit to the telephone number of a business participant to contact the device. When a participant dials the ID number they can be prompted for a password or other identifying information. They can then provide their voice, fax or paging message and designate a recipient in the distribution section's main section or in each of the section's main sections. Other message input agencies can be supported, including e-mail, Web message input interface, and more. The messaging agency is provided to identify the recipient of the message and to send the message to the recipient on the distribution slip. Translations between formats can be provided if necessary. An example might be helpful, suppose the director of the production wants to send a message to all department heads. The director can dial the device's direct ID number and indicate that she wants to send the message to all department heads and provide a fax message. The device then identifies the contact method preferred by a recipient on the distribution list. In this example, 5 of the 15 department heads prefer to use the fax as the paper standard and apply the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) ------------- I --- ^ ---- Order -------- I (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) 472476 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (5) First to receive their messages. In addition, faxes using a messaging agency can be sent to those five people. Six of the remaining department heads prefer to receive e-mail messages. For those individuals, faxes can be translated into a format suitable for delivery by e-mail, such as TIFF or PDF, and sent by a messaging agency. Other remaining department heads may prefer to view the message on the web. Those individuals can receive digital paging, telephone calls' voice messages on a personal voice mail system, and / or some other contact to warn them that a message is waiting on the web page. Other translations may be possible, such as text recognition of the fax as the text of the fax directly replayed through the telephone interface into the conversation is switched to the groups on the distribution list of preferred contact methods. As such, embodiments of the present invention may give conversation to text conversion, such as allowing voicemail messages to be translated into email and other text formats. As this example shows, it may be easy and straightforward to distribute messages to those groups in the business that need to receive the message, without the need for dedicated telephone communication equipment. Further, the system easily supports translation between formats to allow messages to be entered in the format preferred by the sender, but received by participants in their preferred format. In addition, notification of message delivery failures can be provided. This notification of delivery failure helps the sender of the message understand who has not received their message and the sender can take appropriate action. Continuing the example above, suppose the head of the technical department prefers to receive messages by fax; however, a transmission failure notification indicates that the head of the technical department did not receive the fax. The director can then ask the device to resend the fax, he can contact the technical group director himself, and / or the paper size applies + the national standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) one (please read first Note on the back, please fill out this page again) -Installed ------------- Order --------- Printed by the Consumers' Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 472476 A7 ----- B7 V. Description of the invention (6) The system is required to resend the message through other contact methods. Some embodiments of the present invention support hierarchical message delivery. Under the hierarchical message delivery, the message cannot be sent through the contact organization preferred by the participant. It can be transmitted through the participant's next favorite contact agency until the message is successfully transmitted. In addition, all messages sent to one entity can be accessed through the Internet interface. This allows participants in the business to review their messages and delete them. They can also be stored for later use regardless of how messages are processed on their receiving equipment. For example, if users receive messages on their home responders, and delete It, the message will disappear from the home answering machine. However, the message may still be accessible to the user through the network interface. In addition, the embodiment of the present invention can support other business processes through the same basic system. For example, this Some embodiments of the invention support business payroll services. In these embodiments, business employees can enter their payroll information via one or more input mechanisms supported. For example, push-button dialing, session identification, and time information Web login may be supported. The system may then provide information to exist in the payroll system, or a third party payroll system. Likewise, embodiments of the invention may be used to support credit cards or other cash management techniques for employees. For example, Some embodiments of the present invention allow credit cards to be issued to business employees as appropriate managers who control a large amount of credit cards allocated to a particular employee within the business. The operator of the device can choose a price plan for the use of the service and can contact directly Long-distance companies to provide strikingly low distances From the paper size of 1 to the national standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 x 297 mm) ~ (Please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page) ί 装 ----- „---- Order --- ------ Printed by the Consumer Property Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economy 472476 A7 B7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economy Way to get.

Figure 1 includes input 100, personnel 102A, input device 104, server 106, transmitters 108A-C, and masses 102B-E. The input 1 0 0 is A kind of input that the person 10 2A wants to send to the masses 10 2 B — E. The person 10 2A can provide the input 1 0 0 to the input device 1 104 that is paired with the server 106.

Description of the invention (ίο) 10 6 Using the conveyor 1 ο 8 A- C to transmit the input 1 ο 0 to the masses 1 0 2 B-E. The following describes the use of the components of Figure 1. The server 10 is provided by a third party. This third party can provide telecommunications services to a business such as Film making, TV making, event related business, and / or any other type of business that wants to purchase telecommunications services such as those provided by servers. Server 106 is designed to support many businesses simultaneously .Businesses can be geographically assigned. In this example, the person 10 2 A is in a position where they consider Assigned to the masses 102B-E. The message is represented by the input 100. The person 10 2 A can provide the input 100 to the input device of her choice (for example, the input device 104). In this example, the input device 104 It's a phone. In other examples, the input device 104 may include a facsimile machine, an e-mail capable computer, a W E B access capable computer, a dial phone, a pager for message support, and / or some other type of input device. The input 1 0 0 is equivalent to the person's message and Eagle should be in a format suitable for the input device 1 0 4. In this example, the message included in input 100 is an audio message containing spoken commands from person 102. Personnel 10A establishes a telecommunication path between the input device 104 and the server 106. In this example, a person 10 2 A dials a number to a direct incoming dial (D I D) number of the server 106. The DID number can be a special number for special business ° For example, if the business is a product company, a 0 0 0-5 5 5 — This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification ( 210 X 297 mm) -13- ----------- I— i ---- l · —order --------- line, (Please read the notes on the back first (Fill in this page again) 472476 Printed by A7 B7, Consumer Cooperatives of Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 5. Direct description of invention (11) 5 5 5 5 can be used. This specially selected D I D number may be related to the availability of such numbers in the telecommunications load, as well as business preferences. In this example, a toll-free number is provided; however, in other examples a fixed phone number paid by the calling group is used. In addition, numerous D I D numbers can be made for special businesses. This is useful when the business is geographically assigned and it understands that there are many D I D numbers in different regions, countries, and / or for different purposes. Immediately after dialing the D I D number, the person 10 2 A is communicating with the server 106 via her input device 104. The server 10 6 may prompt the person 10 2A to identify herself. Typically, the person 10 2A will provide a one-touch dial or voice password to the server 106. Immediately following identification of the password, server 106 will allow the person 10 2 A to provide her input to server 106 for assignment and allow the person to indicate the appropriate participant. This process is described in further detail below. Once the input 100 is received on the server 106, its assignment to the appropriate participants (for example, crowd 102-E) can occur. This allocation process may be involved in a piecemeal manner as input 100 and is disseminated to the masses 10 2 B — E. The server 106 determines the contact preferences of each participant and transmits the message appropriately. In this example, three different transmission mechanisms as shown by transmitters 108A-C are used to transmit the message to the masses 102B-E. For example, transmitter 108 may be a telephone transmission mechanism; transmitter 108 B may be a fax transmission mechanism; and transmitter 108 C may be an email transmission mechanism. In addition, 'server 1 0 6 may provide personnel 1 〇 2A related to the size of this paper is applicable to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210 X 297 Gongchu) -14- (Please read the note on the back?

This allowed Person 102A to review who had not received her message and take appropriate steps. Next, the relationship between the masses and particular entities will be considered. Then ’will consider the architecture of the server 106. The message distribution process will then be discussed in more detail. Finally ' additional features proposed by some embodiments of the invention will be discussed. B. Setting up the system Figure 2 illustrates the relationship between the people and their data in the system. This can be used to allow disjointed performance of the masses separated by a particular business entity and to allow a single master database of mass information to be maintained. This information can then be linked to a particular entity. This method is highly effective in allowing data to be reused across many entities. This approach may be particularly effective in industrial areas where individuals in a common group have a tendency to go from one business to another. As shown in FIG. 2, a person (for example, person 10 2F) has a person profiled 2 0 0 and belongs to one or more entities 2 1 0. The personal profile (please read the phonetic on the back?

In addition, address information such as the address of the person 102 F can be stored in the contact information 202. The contact information 2 0 2 is a method for the preference 2 6 and the person 10 2 F can rank the contact she likes in the preference 2 6. For example, person 10 2 F could clearly indicate that she would like to review all messages on the website, but receive a pager notification of a new message. Some embodiments of the invention allow a person (eg, person 10 2 F) to specify a level of a preferred contact method. In this method, the person 10 2 F can rank different contact methods in the order of her preference to control how the system delivers messages to her. This can be used by the system to try each method in sequence until the message is successfully delivered. The person may specify different rankings based on the sender, the entity to which the sender belongs, the priority of the message, and / or other user-selected criteria. Personnel 204 may include information about previous and current positions of Personnel 102F. For example, 'post 2 0 4 might instruct person 1 2 F to complete a completed garment design in a previous movie. Similarly, position 2 0 4 may include information on which alliance 2 0 F belongs to and / or personnel 2 0 F may belong to a voluntary guild and so on. Permit 208 describes the ability of personnel 10 2 F to use various aspects of the management of the system. The permit 208 may be appropriately placed on each entity's main component. For example, person 102F may be a department head in one entity, but only one employee in another entity. In this case, 'Licence 2 0 8 can reflect the different management of the same person in each entity in the system.

Some embodiments of the present invention include a converter that converts an analog audio signal received on a telephone interface into a stored digital format stored in a message 316. Next, at step 400, the participants of the message can be identified. If appropriate, the order of steps 404 and 402 can be reversed based on the preferences of a particular entity, a particular user, and / or the particular input mechanism. For example, some embodiments of the invention allow participants to be designated before the message is received. Participant identification uses an entity database (eg, entity database 3 1 4 A) to assist user identification and distribution within the entity. Where appropriate, a master database 3 1 2 can be used to identify individual participants. This can be used as an example to send job notifications to each experienced person in the master database 3 1 2 X and invite them to send resumes. Specific people and / or distributions to receive messages can be identified by using push-button *. Dial commands, spoken commands, and / or other suitable mechanisms for the input mechanism (such as inputting 4 0 0). For example, when a fax is transmitted, the distribution slip may be specified through the use of a "T0" loop in a specific position on the cover of the fax. In other embodiments, a person may provide a touch-tone dial and / or a spoken command to identify the recipient before the fax itself is transmitted. In an email message, the 'recipient' can be identified on the T o loop or in the body of the message. When the file is submitted on the Web interface, the recipient can be selected using an HTML format or other suitable input method. Next, in step 406, an allocation ticket as a special message is created. This distribution slip is composed of special people to receive designated messages.

Description of the Invention (20) It should be established. This should not be confused with the process of generating the distribution, for example, a distribution bill containing members of the technical department versus special messages, such as the technical department distribution. Rather this is access to the entity database and the master data Library process to collect contact information for specific recipients. This process can take into account contact preferences and rankings provided by individuals. Next, in step 408, messages can be distributed to recipients. This may include from message 3 1 6 retrieves the message and sends it to the output 4 2 0. This process may include further conversion using the converter 3 1 8 0 At step 4 1 0, the results from the allocation can be recorded and stored in real Repository (such as physical database 3 1 4 A). For example, this may include the time when the message was delivered to each recipient, the success or failure of the delivery, and / or other appropriate information. If the message requests a response, the result · May include user response if it is useful or links to such responses should it become useful. For example, some messages may require the recipient to indicate their meeting time commitment, vote on the decision, or provide comments in response to Sender. When disconnected from Web and / or when the message record is reviewed by other media, these comments can be added to the message's failure and success perspectives through appropriate mechanisms.

Description of Invention (21) Consider the allocation process of step 408 in detail. First of all, for each person on the distribution list, their preferred method of contact can be Be identified. Then the distribution process can be divided into several ways. In some embodiments of the present invention, the process is divided along the distribution mechanism, for example, all faxes are transmitted to the communication system 3 2 0 (if necessary, where appropriate After the conversion), fax delivery agencies, etc. Then, at the same time, those delivery agencies can spread the message to the appropriate recipients in order. It does not matter whether the dissemination occurs simultaneously, continuously, or a combination determined by resources that may be useful to a particular delivery agency. For example, if there is only the ability to distribute fifty faxes at a time, additional recipients may have to queue up. In addition, the communication system 302 may handle queuing and scheduling of the availability of various transmission mechanisms across different entities sharing the server 106. Embodiments of the present invention may allow entities to pay for different levels of service-such as guaranteed numbers for delivery resources, guaranteed delivery times, and so on. As such, embodiments of the present invention may limit the number of resources available to each business. For example, roving itineraries can be used to control access to transport resources as each business entity names a certain allocation amount (such as a unit) of the transport resource at a specified time. This can be used to determine the use of an entity that allocates server 106 without overwriting the ability of other entities to use server 106. The exact number of transmission resources selected by the server 106 can be easily adjusted. For example, additional telephone loop cards can be added to the communication system 320 to increase the availability of resources for fax 'telephone messaging and the like.
