Abstract
The present invention is directed to a method of controlling transmission of voice messages or information via telephonic voice message systems, which are sometimes referred to as Voice Mail systems. Users of the system selectively specify voice message transmission instructions for controlling transmission of voice messages directed to them. Upon receipt of a user's voice message address, the voice message system determines whether the destination voice message address has a specified voice message transmission instruction previously selected by the recipient and processes the voice message in accordance with the instruction.
Claims
1. In a telephonic voice message apparatus having first and second voice message devices associated with respective origination and destination voice message addresses, a method of controlling by prior selections of a potential recipient from the destination voice message address a transmission of telephonic voice message data originating in response to input by a sender from the first voice message device associated with the origination voice message address and directed to the second voice message device associated with the destination voice message address, comprising: selectively providing by the potential recipient for storage in the telephonic voice message apparatus a specified voice message transmission instruction for controlling transmission of telephonic voice message data directed to the destination voice message address; generating in response to input by the sender telephonic voice message data associated with the origination voice message address; directing the telephonic voice message data associated with the origination voice message address to the destination voice message address; determining within the telephonic voice message apparatus in response to the directing of telephonic voice message data to the destination voice message address whether the stored specified voice message transmission instruction for controlling transmission of the telephonic voice message data corresponds to the destination voice message address; and upon determining the specified voice message transmission instruction corresponds to the destination voice message address, processing the telephonic voice message .data in accordance with the specified voice message transmission instruction.
2. The method of claim 1 in which the telephonic voice message apparatus includes first and second independently operable telephonic voice message systems and in which the origination voice message address is associated with the first telephonic voice message system and the destination voice message address is associated with the second telephonic voice message system.
3. The method of claim 2 in which the telephonic voice message apparatus further includes an interface node that provides data communication between the first and second telephonic voice message systems, the interface node cooperating with the first and second telephonic voice message systems to determine whether the destination voice message address corresponds to a specified voice message transmission instruction for controlling transmission of the telephonic voice message data.
4. The method of claim 3 in which the directing the voice message data associated with the origination voice message address includes transmitting the destination voice message address from the first telephonic voice message system to the interface node and sending a query from the interface node to the second telephonic voice message system as to whether the destination voice message address corresponds to a specified voice message transmission instruction.
5. The method of claim 1 in which the specified voice message transmission instruction includes at least one of a predetermined set of voice message transmission instructions.
6. The method of claim 1 in which the voice message transmission instruction includes transmitting the telephonic voice message data to an alternative voice message destination having an alternative voice message
AMENOED SHEET (ARTICLE 19) address that is different from the destination voice message address.
7. The method of claim 1 in which the voice message transmission instruction includes determining whether the origination voice message address is included in a first preselected set of at least one acceptable origin address and thereafter transmitting the telephonic voice message data to the destination voice message address only if the origination voice message address is included in the first preselected set.
8. The method of claim 1 in which the voice message transmission instruction includes determining whether the origination voice message address is included in a preselected set of at least one unacceptable origin address and thereafter blocking transmission of the telephonic voice message data to the destination voice message address whenever the origination voice message address is included in the preselected set.
9. The method of claim 1 in which the voice message transmission instruction includes determining whether the origination voice message address is included in a preselected set of at least one address and thereafter assigning the voice message data a delivery priority for establishing priority for retrieval of the voice message data from the destination voice message address whenever the origination voice address is included in the preselected set.
10. The method of claim 1 in which the voice message transmission instruction includes prohibiting the voice message data from being copied or forwarded.
11. The method of claim 1 in which the telephonic voice message apparatus includes a voice recognition and conversion subsystem and the voice message transmission instruction includes converting the voice 29
message data to electronic document data and delivering them to a selected electronic document system.
12. The method of claim 11 in which the selected electronic document system includes an electronic mail system or a facsimile document system.
13. In a telephonic voice message apparatus having first and second voice message network subsystems associated with respective first and second voice message addresses and in data communication with a communication medium of a voice message system network, a method of selectively controlling in accordance with instructions stored in the second voice message network subsystem a transmission of telephonic voice message data originating from the first voice message network subsystem associated with the first voice message address and directed to the second voice message network subsystem associated with the second voice message address, comprising: selectively storing in the second voice message network subsystem a specified voice message transmission instruction for controlling transmission of telephonic voice message data directed to the second voice message address,- directing from the first voice message network subsystem telephonic voice message data for transmission through the communication medium to the second voice message address; transmitting through the communication medium from the first voice message network subsystem to the second voice message network subsystem the second voice message address; determining within the second voice message network subsystem in response to the second voice message address whether the second voice message address corresponds to the stored specified voice message transmission instruction for controlling transmission of the telephonic voice message data; and upon determining the second voice message address corresponds to the specified voice message transmission instruction, providing a signal through the communication medium from the second voice message network subsystem to the first voice message network subsystem to enable processing of the telephonic voice message data in accordance with the specified voice message transmission instruction.
14. The method of claim 13 in which the specified voice message transmission instruction includes transmitting the telephonic voice message data to a third voice message destination having a third voice message address that is different from the second voice message address, determining whether the first voice message address is included in a first preselected set of at least one acceptable origin address and thereafter transmitting the telephonic voice message data to the second voice message address only if the first voice message address is included in the first preselected set, or determining whether the first voice message address is included in a second preselected set of at least one unacceptable origin address and thereafter blocking transmission of the telephonic voice message data to the second voice message address whenever the first voice message address is included in the second preselected set.
15. The method of claim 13 in which the specified voice message transmission instruction includes determining whether the first voice message address is included in a third preselected set of at least one address and thereafter either assigning the voice message data a delivery priority for establishing priority for retrieval of the voice message data from the second voice message address whenever the first voice address is included in the third preselected set or prohibiting the voice message data from being copied or forwarded.
16. The method of claim 13 in which at least one of the first and second voice message network subsystems includes an interface node that provides data communication between the first and second voice message network subsystems to determine whether the second voice message address corresponds to the specified voice message transmission instruction for controlling transmission of the telephonic voice message data.
17. The method of claim 16 in which the determination of whether the second voice message address corresponds to the specified voice message transmission instruction includes transmitting the second voice message address from the first voice message network subsystem to the interface node, determining whether the second voice message address corresponds to the specified voice message transmission instruction, and sending a query from the interface node to the second voice message network subsystem as to whether the second voice message address corresponds to the specified voice message transmission instruction.
18. The method of claim 13 in which the first and second voice message network subsystems include respective first and second interface nodes that provide data communication between the first and second voice message network subsystems, the first and second interface nodes cooperating with the first and second voice message network subsystems to determine whether the second voice message address corresponds to the specified voice message transmission instruction for controlling transmission of the telephonic voice message data.
