Abstract

A modem to modem communication system supports call waiting services by exchanging hold request and acknowledge signals before relinquishing the line servicing incoming calls. Thereafter, the modem to modem session is reestablished without having to redial. The hold request may be denied or accepted, and may define the duration a modem will hold before hanging up. The holding modem maintains the session by fooling the higher protocol layers, making them believe that the modem is not on hold. Three-way calling services are also used to free up the shared line for outgoing calls while maintaining the session with holding modems. A table may be employed to screen incoming calls through a comparison of the caller ID information with that in the table. The table may be within the modem or the host computer.

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to the field of data communication from modem to modem; and, more specifically, to modem-to-modem communication and 3-way calling and call waiting telephone services. 2. Description of related technology The conventional communication system typically establishes an Internet data transmission through a telephone exchange network through local and remote I SP (Internet Service Provider) modems. Similarly, other modem-to-modem communications use the telephone exchange network as the communication link. These modems often share a telephone line with other local telephone services, such as telephones, fax machines, answering machines, and so on. To handle many incoming calls, the telephone switching network provides 3-way call and call waiting services. These services can be accessed manually by the person using the phone. The telephone switching network also adds a caller identification (caller ID) service to support call waiting. Therefore, when you are using a telephone -------------- install-(Please read the precautions on the back before H page) ιδΊ · Line-Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs This paper size applies Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) -4- 561772 A7 B7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economy You can watch the caller ID before answering the incoming call. In order to maintain data transmission between modems, the modem must be maintained continuously during data transmission. If the modem loses its signal after a certain period of time, the modem will consider the data transmission to be over and disconnect the connection. During the data transmission from the local modem to the remote modem, when a telephone call waiting tone is detected (indicating the presence of a caller ID), the central computer room including the local modem and the telephone exchange network (C 0) Both are decoded to retrieve the caller ID. However, during the caller ID decoding process, the far-end modem usually goes offline. Therefore, the remote modem must redial to re-establish and resume data transmission. If the local modem does not attempt to decode the caller ID, the call waiting transmission will interfere with the incoming communication, causing the modem to hang up or retrain. Therefore, the telephone switching network provides a mechanism to turn the call waiting service on or off. Before the modem-to-moderator data transfer begins, turn off the call waiting service for data transfer. However, in this way, the user is prevented from receiving any other incoming calls on the shared telephone line. As a result, the user is forced to install a dedicated line for each type of telephone device. By comparing the related technology with the following part of this specification After drawing and drawing, those familiar with this technology can understand other disadvantages of related technology.

Description of the invention (3), after detecting incoming calls , It sends a call waiting signal. The communication system includes a remote modem and a local modem which are communicatively coupled to it. The local modem of the common telephone network detects the call waiting signal 'and commands the remote modem to enter the I mode, and then temporarily gives up access to the telephone network. During this process, the local modem also performs caller identification processing. If so ', caller identification information can be used to decide whether to service incoming calls. A user interface can also be provided to make this decision, or it can be performed automatically by a computer coupled to a local modem. Although not necessary, the remote modem can remain in reserve mode for more than a predetermined period of time. Other changes are also possible. For example, the local modem may use the v 4 e 2 protocol to establish a channel to send signals about the reserved mode to the remote modem. A table can be used to store pre-selected caller identification information for comparison with incoming caller identification information. This comparison can be used to decide whether to service incoming calls. The remote and local modems attempt to maintain the establishment of data transmission communication between the device configured with the remote modem and the device configured with the local modem. The remote modem must maintain the appearance of a connection with the upper layer protocol, even if the connection to the local modem is temporarily interrupted. Similarly, the local modem must also use the local modem's communication capabilities to maintain the appearance of a connection to a network protocol. To do this, the remote modem communicates with the upper protocol layer of the network with a manufactured data connection in retained mode. In the same way, the local modem maintains the appearance of the connection between the network and the application, and presents it to the network stack. At the same time, both modems are being retained.

Description of the invention (4) These inventions can also be found in communication systems including local links, telephone devices, remote and local modems And other aspects. At this point, when the local modem gives up the local link, the telephone device is coupled to the local link and can enter the link. In particular, the local modem establishes data transmission with the remote modem by dialing the telephone number associated with the remote modem. After detecting the need to give up the local link to the telephone device, the local modem instructs the remote modem to maintain data transmission, and temporarily gives the local link to the telephone device. The local modem can also re-establish data transmission without having to redial the associated phone number. Other changes are possible. For example, the local modem gives the local link to the required identification of the telephone device by detecting: a) a call waiting signal issued, b) a user-initiated request, or c) a Automatically generated by the computer.

Detailed description of the invention Figure 1 It is a block diagram illustrating a typical modem-to-modem communication network supporting 3-way calling, call waiting, and caller ID according to various aspects of the present invention. In particular, the modem 1 at the base 3 establishes and maintains ongoing communication with the modem 11 at the base 13 via the switching network 2]. If either modem 1 or modem 1 needs to temporarily give up telephone line 10 or telephone line 1, it will cause the modem (local modem) to notify the other modem (remote modem) ) A request to keep for a set period of time. If accepted, the remote modem places itself on hold and waits: (a) to re-establish communication from the local modem, or (b) the end of the predetermined period. After placing the remote modem on hold, the local modem will give up or at least offer to abandon the telephone line 10 or 17.

News. If the set period of time has passed, the local modem will automatically call the gastric modem. Otherwise, the local modem re-establishes communication only by accessing the remote modem and connecting to the fast training sequence from modems 1 and 1 1 before proceeding. Data: It is decided according to extensions 1 and 11 that the respective telephone lines 10 and 17 should be given off. 'A call waiting signal from switching network 2 1 can be received via (a)'. (B) Local extension picked up. The microphone (c) receives input from the user via the computer device 5 or 15 and (d) detects a need from the relevant computer device 5 or 15. For example, when modem 1 receives a call waiting signal from switching network 21 (due to an incoming call from telephone device 31 of base 3 3), modem 1 issues a request to reserve modem 1 1. ; Line · If modem 11 acknowledges the request, modem 11 will wait for the first predetermined period of time to re-establish data transmission with modem 1 (for example, 30 seconds). The consumer modem of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs will print the modem 1 interacts with the switching network 2 1 to retrieve caller ID information (if the frame is configured as such), and presents an instruction for an incoming call along with the caller ID information through a screen (not shown) of the computer device 5. The computer device 5 may simulate a ring signal to inform the user, and pop out a window containing caller ID information. If the user does not accept the incoming call or rejects the call, modem 1 will re-establish communication with modem 11 before the end of the first predetermined time. However, if the user wants to answer the call, the user accepts the call via the computer device 5. The modem 1 responds to this, and the second predetermined retention period (for example, the paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) -11-561772 A7 B7 V.

In other embodiments, for example, when the user modem 103 is in communication with the ISP modem 125, the co in the telephone network 105 provides a "attention signal" to the user modem 103. And Is P modem 1 2 5. The "Attention Signal" sends a standby request to change the "ownership" of telephone line 1 2 7 B at least temporarily. In this embodiment, the subscriber modem 103 does not need to tell the ISP modem 1 25 to give up the telephone line 1 2 7 B. C 0 in the telephone network is modified to transmit a dial tone without giving up the secondary line. Therefore, when the user modem 103 detects that the handset of the extension is picked up, for example, the phone 1 49 is answered, the user modem 103 sends a signal to the IP modem 1 2 5 to enter the hold mode. Next, the 'customer modem 103 requests Co to generate a dial tone' and gives the line to the telephone 14.9. In these embodiments, as described elsewhere herein, with or without caller ID service, the call waiting indication is a "attention signal". Note The signal to the modem is a signal that requests a shared telephone line for other uses that occur. In addition to call waiting, the operator can also manually attempt to interrupt incoming data transmission in an emergency. In most embodiments, the attention signal is only sent to the modem in which the line is shared, as described previously, but this is not necessarily the case. Such attention signals can be transmitted to all units and modems or telephone devices involved in communication exchange. In addition, the ISP modem 1 2 5 can also send a reservation request to the use of this paper size applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210 X 297 mm) — ^ 7 (Please read the note on the back first. -Matters on this page) Meeting ·-Line · 561772 A7

Description of the invention (16) 2 0 7 Notifies the processing circuit 2 0 3 that a telephone call into A has been detected. In response, the processing circuit 230 sends a signal to the IS modem 2 2 1 to inform the call waiting event. Next, the processing circuit 2 03 uses the secondary channel 2 1 7 to send a signal to the IP modem 2 2 1 to disconnect, and at the same time, the IS modem 2 2 1 decodes the received caller identification information. In response to this, the Isp 2 2 1 indicates acceptance by transmitting a confirmation signal. After receiving the confirmation signal, the processing circuit 203 performs the caller ID processing to retrieve the caller ID information from the telephone network 219. In particular, the processing circuit 201 transmits a D T M F tone to the central computer room (C0) located in the telephone network, and commands the caller ID information to go forward. Next, Co sends a Be 1 1 2 1 1 signal with caller ID information (while muting the data transmission line connected to the IP modem 2 2 1). The processing circuit switches from its current protocol (typically V · 90) to Be 1 1 2 1 2 mode and receives caller 1 D information. For example, the caller ID information is presented to the user via the LCD display in the user modem 2 01 or via a pop-up window generated by the user software, and requests the user to accept or reject the incoming call. In one embodiment If the user accepts the incoming call, the ISP modem 2 2 1 maintains the connection for data transmission for a predetermined period of time, and at the same time, the subscriber modem 2 01 connects with the incoming call. When the line is returned, the user modem 201 and the ISP modem 221 resynchronize to continue the previous data transmission, that is, the user modem 2 0 1 and the ISP modem 2 2 1 train the echo canceller and transmit, for example, after timing synchronization.

The state of invention note (17). If the user modem 2 01 is not returned after the expiration of the established period, the data connection is terminated. In another embodiment, the user may accept the incoming call while the 1S P modem 2 2 1 is instructed to idle. When the user modem 200 is returned, the fast resynchronization algorithm used to re-establish communication will be faster because the status of the previous line is known and neither modem needs to be fully trained. Further details on "Resynchronization" can be found in US Patent Application 09 / 361,842 (filed on July 27, 1999) and entitled "1 ^ 1: 11〇 (1 & 11 (1? & 1 ^ 1: 11 $ [〇1-Fast V90 Modem Startup, " Attorney Docket Nos. 99RSS181 and 5 0944.4700; and US patent application 09 / 394,018 (filed on September 10, 1999), name "Method and Apparatus for Quick Modem Reconnect," Attorney Docket Nos. 99RSS181CIP and 5 0944.47 1 7. All of these applications are incorporated herein by reference. Other functions described earlier with reference to Figures 1-2 can also be applied to user data. Interaction between machine 2 0 1 and ISP modem 2 2 1. In addition, user modem 2 01 can also use a lookup table to determine how and whether to service incoming calls, as shown in Figure 5. Secondary channel 2 1 7 It is a virtual channel established using the V · 4.2 protocol. This is an exclusive mode.

Description of the invention (18), but these functions can also be used elsewhere. Figure 4 is another exemplary embodiment of the communication system of Figure 3, which uses the function of maintaining activities to maintain continuous data transmission. In particular, ISP data Machine 3 2 1 uses a surviving function 3 2 3, which sends "survival packets" to higher protocol layers, regardless of whether the user data machine 3 0 1 sends a reservation request. In particular, there are several layers in the agreement with the user. Internet browsers are related to, for example, the connection between IS P. These layers must be "alive" when the user modem 3 01 gives up the link for call waiting service or others. 3 1 During the period, the user modem 3 0 1 has given up the link 3 3 At 1 o'clock, higher protocol layers, such as T C P / IP, may also encounter time-out conditions and terminate data transmission. In order to obtain continuous data transmission, when the caller ID is received, the bottom two layers, that is, the physical layer and the data link layer responsible for transmission, framing, and communication link error control are modified. In one embodiment, after the modem signal is interrupted, the function 3 2 3 located in the IS modem 3 2 1 transmits the “live” packet stream to the higher τ C P / IP protocol layer. Use this to deceive the higher T C P / IP layer to avoid termination of data transmission. The "survival" encapsulation stream can be a data bit or a control signal or both, in the user modem 3 0 1, the I SP modem 3 2 1 or both. Again, the live data stream does not require the use of hold requests. In fact, in one embodiment, regardless of the time period and for any reason, as long as the IS P data machine has difficulty reaching the user data machine 3 0 1, it will survive use.

Description of the invention (19) The period of 'use the data stream for a predetermined period of time to re-establish the link within this period' is much longer than the period required for the termination of traditional data transmission. FIG. 5 is a diagram of a computer device 4 1 1 coupled to a data device 4 2 1. The data device 4 2 1 according to the present invention has a memory lookup table and allows forward transfer of caller ID information to the computer device 4 1 1 Before, call and assigned functions were classified. The computer device 4 1 1 includes a processing circuit 4 1 3 and other conventional circuits, such as an interface circuit 4 1 5. The processing circuit 4 1 3 independently operates a plurality of application software (for example, the first and second application software 4 1 7 and 4 1 9), and independently services incoming calls via the data machine 4 2 1. The control application software 4 2 3 selectively interacts to start a plurality of application software software. The modem 4 2 1 includes a processing circuit 4 3 1 and a memory 4 3 3, and other circuits. The modem 4 2 1 determines whether to forward the caller ID information to the computer device 4 1 1 according to the table 4 3 5 in the memory 4 3 3. Table 4 3 5 stores a series of caller ID cross-referenced entries. Therefore, for example, after detecting an incoming call, the modem 4 2 1 informs the IS modem (not shown), that is, the current modem connection is interrupted to receive the caller ID information. When the caller ID information is received, the processing circuit 4 3 1 stores the caller ID information in the buffer 4 3 7 and compares it with the entry in Table 435. If a match is found, the processing circuit 4 3 1 tells the ISP modem to send its buffered caller ID information to the control application software 4 2 1 of the computer device 4 1 1 which in turn starts the designated application to service the received data.

Description of the invention (20) If no match is found, the modem 4 2 1 will ignore the incoming call and continue to communicate with the ISP data Machine for data transmission. Therefore, the modem 4 2 1 will not affect the computer device 4 1 1 or trouble the user by transmitting the caller ID information forward, unless the registration designation in Table 4 3 5 is to do so. The user loads the table 4 3 5 through the computer device 4 1 1. The table is, for example, the phone number of the incoming call that needs to be processed by the first and second application software 417 and 419. In a typical embodiment, the first application software 4 1 7 includes software for processing faxes, and the second application software 4 1 9 includes software for processing data. If only the fax transmission is received from a single telephone number, the telephone number is loaded into the table 4 3 5 of the modem 4 2 1 ′ Similarly, the telephone number of the received data transmission is also loaded into the table 4 3 5. When the telephone number of the fax transmission to be received is the telephone number stored in Table 4 35, the processing circuit 4 3 1 transmits the caller ID information to the computer device 4 1 1 and immediately switches to the fax transmission without interference. user. After that, the control application software 4 2 3 instructs the first application software 4 1 7 to process the transmission. When the fax transmission is completed, the control application software 4 2 3 cooperates with the modem 4 2 1 to return the user to the previous data transmission. When the incoming data transmission is received from the phone number stored in Table 4 35, the processing circuit 4 3 1 transmits the caller identification to the computer device 4 1 1 and is processed by the second application software 4 1 9. The modem 4 2 1 ignores calls whose phone numbers are not in Table 4 3 5. In addition, or in addition, the table can be combined with callers used to identify phone numbers that are ignored and not accepted by DCE / DTE. 1 D information.
