Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the integration of audio communications with other forms of communications.
  • Teleconferences can be set up over the PSTN, with parties joining the teleconference when their input is required and leaving the teleconference when not required.
  • the present invention provides a method for establishing communication by voice between a computer user and at least one other party, the computer user being associated with a computer, the method comprising: entering into the computer a request by the computer user for a return communication by voice from the at least one other party to the computer user; transmitting to the at least one other party of information from the computer which is associated with the computer user.
  • the identity of at least one of: the computer user; and the at least one other party is authenticated.
  • the authentication of an identity is by at least one of: voice recognition; and biometric identification. It is preferred that the information which is transmitted to the at least one other party is information which is displayed on the computer which is displayed on the computer which is associated with the computer user.
  • figure 1 illustrates modes of communication according to embodiments of the present invention
  • figures 2, 3 and 4 illustrate preferred embodiments of the present invention.
  • Embodiments of the present invention provide a hardware and software platform with integrated audio, video and data connection capability to leverage internet and telephone for business collaboration.
  • a person surfing on the web or who has received an email or has received a link to a "widget" or an electronic brochure is able to instruct an integrated switching server to initiate a multi-party telephone and/or video calls.
  • This call initiation can generate any or all of the calls and information flow which are exemplified in figure 1.
  • the system is capable of sending the context as identified by the point of click in the initiator's web page or email by transferring (programmable) information to the recipient via multiple modes such as email, SMS or any other public or proprietary communications interfaces so that the caller is notified of the context of the call.
  • the invention provides an information switch bridging internet and telephony network.
  • the invention may have one or more of the following features: 1. Initiated from internet either from a web page or an email to establish a multimodal, multiparty, voice over internet protocol (VoIP) to VoIP, VoIP to PSTN network, a PSTN to a PSTN and mobile networks for both fixed to fixed to mobile phone calls with "context" based information to the called parties with SMS messages being sent to the called party.
  • VoIP voice over internet protocol
  • a voice authenticated call(s) from a web page or an email a multimodal, multiparty VoIP to internet, VoIP to a PSTN network, a PSTN to a PSTN and mobile networks for both fixed to fixed and fixed to mobile phone calls with "context" based information to the called parties with SMS messages being sent tot he called party with an ability to voice authenticate the caller and the called party at random.
  • SMS short messaging service
  • the called party's voice and video / images may be authenticated at the beginning or during the call.
  • Example 1 An internet buying mode is illustrated in figure 2 of the drawings.
  • Step 1 A customer is looking at the seller's website and wants to connect with the seller unobtrusively. The user enters a chat room where s/he will be able to connect with other buyers and the seller who wants to assist the buyer.
  • Step 2 After gathering sufficient information the buyer wants to talk to someone in the company to clear a few issues. S/he establishes a voice call to the seller. During the conversation the seller's representative decides that it is time to bring in other experts. The user pulls them in to the conversation via an outbound call or by inviting him/her to join the conversation by an SMS. The new participant calls in using a phone VoIP/PSTN/mobile.
  • Step 3 The buyer is now ready to buy the product but has to complete a contract.
  • the seller's representative can now transfer the call to a different person who will assist the buyer in completing the form/contract document.
  • the seller turns on the video to give the buyer the comfort of who he is dealing with. Further he can take the form that is partially filled-in by the buyer and guide him to complete the form in collaborative manner.
  • Example 2 A secure communication mode using voice authentication is illustrated in figure 3 of the drawings.
  • Step 1 In an auction site the authenticity of the seller is important The seller registers with the auction site providing a 100-point check. The seller also leaves a voice imprint as a signature.
  • Step 2 A buyer wins the bid on the site and wants to connect with the seller to ensure that the items represented are indeed as they are.
  • the buyer is connected to the seller anonymously (that is, without disclosing phone numbers to each other).
  • the seller's voice is authenticated periodically to ensure the buyer that the person selling is the same as the one who has registered.
  • Step 3 The buyer wants to sight the object he is buying and the seller switches on the video capability to connect with buyer thus providing better security for the buyer.
  • Example 3 A secure communication mode using voice and face authentication is illustrated in figure 4 of the drawings.
  • Step 1 Member registers with the financial system using driver's licence photo ID or passport photo page. Member's voice is also registered as the reference audio attached with photo ID.
  • Step 2 Members calls the financial institution to conduct a transaction that required strong authentication.
  • Step 3 The representative from the financial institution calls the member via phone. During the conversation the voice of the member and that of the financial institution's representative is authenticated periodically by server during the conversation.
  • Step 4 The member's camera is turned on during the conversation and the biometric authentication carried out providing a feedback to the financial institution about the authenticity of the caller.
  • Various embodiments of the invention may be embodied in many different forms, including computer program logic for use with a processor (e.g., a microprocessor, microcontroller, digital signal processor, or general purpose computer), programmable logic for use with a programmable logic device (e.g., a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) or other PLD), discrete components, integrated circuitry (e.g., an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC)), or any other means including any combination thereof.
