TLDR
In this article, a high-speed information service system is provided which uses Primary Rate Interface (PRI) Integrated Services Digital Networks (ISDN) signaling and temporary, "out-of-band" signaling to improve information retrieval capability.Abstract:
A high-speed information service system is provided which uses Primary Rate Interface (PRI) Integrated Services Digital Networks (ISDN) signaling and temporary, "out-of-band" signaling to improve information retrieval capability. ISDN signaling permits electronic addressing of information requested by the subscriber, thereby eliminating the delays which accompany DTMF signal processing. Communications between an information service provider and an individual information source are conducted using out-of-band signaling. That is, call setup and information request are processed using a channel other than the channel which carries data between the information service provider, the information source and the subscriber.read more

Communication assistance system and method
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a communication assistance system comprised of a first database (18) having a plurality of listings where each of the listings has at least one contact name and a corresponding contact number.
Patent
Broadband telecommunications system
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a system for providing virtual connections through an ATM interworking multiplexer on a call-by-call basis, where a signaling processor receives signaling for a call and selects the virtual connection for the call.
Patent
Method, system and apparatus for telecommunications control
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a method, system, and apparatus for providing communication control, which includes a method in which signaling is processed externally to a switch before it is applied by the network elements.

Web server employing multi-homed, modular framework
Ralph Wesinger,Christopher Coley +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a web server is provided having a multi-homed, modular framework, which allows extensions to the Web server to be easily compiled into the web server, allowing the extensions to run natively as part of the server instead of incurring the overhead typical of CGI scripts, for example.
Patent
System and method for determining charges for usage of a network connection
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a system and method for determining charges for use of network service connections, which includes nodes which facilitate the transfer of information between source and destination locations.

Real-time text-to-speech conversion system.
TL;DR: In this paper, a real-time text-to-speech synthesizer system handles an unlimited vocabulary with a minimum of hardware by using a microcomputer-software-compatible time domain methodology.
Patent
Communication terminal apparatus and control method with party identification features
TL;DR: In this article, a communication terminal is connected to an integrated services digital network to transmit data from an outgoing call office to an incoming call office and a method of controlling the communication terminal apparatus, in which notification of a person to be called for an incoming signal and acceptance or rejection of the incoming signal are controlled on the basis of predetermined identification data contained in incoming signal.
