- the invention also provides a mobile interception system in which hardware and software can be placed with the operator, and where the subscribers need only have access to mobile telephone apparatus and to an "Internet" connection.
- Figure 1 illustrates the inventive arrangement schematically, with a server connected to the mobile telecommunications network and co-acting with three mutually different telephonist positions via server-allocated blocks;
- Figure 2 is a block diagram illustrating schematically different functions allocated to the server and its associated blocks
- Figure 3 illustrates the principle layout and co-operation between a mobile telecommunications system and an interception-system associated units utilised therewith, said units being adapted functionally to implement at least chosen subscriber exchange functions in co-action with one or more telephonists and via such a server-allocated, server-including or server-associated block; and
- Figure 4 is a block diagram illustrating a system for allocating criteria to incoming calls and forwarding such calls to a respective chosen category-allocated telephonist.
- Figure 1 primarily, but also Figure 3, illustrates the inventive arrangement schematically and in more detail, showing a server connected to the mobile telecommunications network in accordance with the invention, where the server can be caused to co-act with a plurality, in the present case three, different telephonist positions, where each place is manned by one or more telephonists.
- Figure 1 illustrates the present invention schematically in the form of a PABX- serving arrangement with an integrated or related interception system or auxiliary system referenced 1 , said arrangement being based on and related to a mobile telecommunications system or mobile telephone system 2.
- the design of the arrangement will be described more specifically with reference to the embodiment according to Figure 3.
- Figure 1 is a schematic illustration showing a server "S" connected to the telecommunications system 2, including associated decision criteria and adapted to serve a plurality of companies via blocks "S1", “S2” and “S3", where three different companies referenced F1 , F2 and F3 are shown in the figures and where each of said blocks is adapted to and allocated to a respective telephonist manned telephonist position, referenced T1 , T2 and T3 respectively.
- T1 , T2 and T3 telephonist manned telephonist position
- the telephonist positions T1 , T2 and T3 are each allocated geographically spread companies F1 , F2 and F3 respectively in the illustrated embodiment, and each of said telephonist positions, with their respective computer units, can be connected to the server "S", and particularly to server-allocated blocks "S1", "S2” and "S3", over an indicated IP network 9.
- the server "S” has stored in each of its blocks “S1", “S2” and “S3” information relating to respective telephonists in respective telephonist positions T1 , T2 and T3 and/or the status of telephonist T (free/engaged), in an array of function blocks A.
- the server "S" and respective blocks also have stored therein information relating to respective telephonist positions and/or telephonist-applicable queuing orders, in a functional block B. Similarly to that described above, the server “S” also has stored in a functional block C information relating to telephonist-associated data.
- the server "S” includes information relating to respective telephone directory associated data stored in a functional block D.
- the server “S” has stored in a functional block D1 information relating to abbreviated telephone number transformation.
- the server "S" also includes information relating to interception-associated data concerning each available telephonist position and/or telephonist, stored in a functional block E.
- the telephone directory associated data stored in functional block D is coordinated with interception associated data in functional block E.
- Number status is stored in a functional block F, this information being coordinated with data co-ordinated in the functional block E.
- the server "S” is adapted, via its blocks “S1 ", “S2” and “S3", for co-action with a plurality of mutually similarly structured or differently structured telephonist-manned telephonist positions, such as the positions referenced T1 , T2 and T3.
- Figure 2 is intended to show that data stored in the functional blocks A to F shall be capable of being co-ordinated mutually in and between the telephonist positions T1 , T2 and T3 with the aid of a processor G, that includes a memory H.
- the functional blocks A, B, C, D, E and F drawn in full lines can be considered as belonging to block "S1 " and telephonist position T1 , whereas similar and slightly hidden functional blocks shall be considered to belong to telephonist positions T2 and T3 respectively.
- these functional blocks and concealed functional blocks may be allocated to different telephonists Ta, Tb and Tc.
- the functional block "I" denotes an exchange unit for sending switching information to the mobile telecommunications system 2.
- the mobile telecommunications system 2 is adapted to enable a calling party 3, calling from within or externally of said system, to be transferred to a called party via a server-related and system- associated switching function 2a, in response to an initialised system-associated telephone number.
- the present invention is based on the calling party 3 desiring a speech contact with a called party 5 included as an extension number in a PABX system or a unit 6 co-ordinated with an interception system 1 in some other way and capable of carrying out one or more chosen exchange-related functions or all of said functions, wherein the calling party 3 therewith initialises an exchange- associated group number allocated to the units 6 or a direct number, wherein the switching function 2a is coupled to relevant circuits in said unit 6.
- the PABX shall be considered as a system-associated unit 6, that is adapted for implementation of those functions, or at least those selected functions, which are normally assigned to a PABX that also includes an interception system.
- such a unit 6, included in the block-coordinated server "S" can be considered to consist of three functional parts, a switching unit 6a (or 2a) and a control unit or logic unit 6b, where the switching unit 6a (2a) is connected directly to the mobile telecommunications system 2 and its exchange function.
- the switching unit 6a and the control unit 6b are co-ordinated to form a block and represent a system designated the trade name or trade nark "Mobicentrix".
- a telephonist switchboard unit 6c constitutes a third functional part.
- Figure 3 illustrates more particularly how a block “S1 " in the server “S” enables the unit 6c to co-act with a "Firewall” 7, via a data transfer connection 8, an IP network 9 and a connection 8a.
- a connection 8b connects from the "Firewall” 7 to a web server 6b included in the block "S1 " and a data setup or equipment 6e, where the latter is particularly adapted to initialise and provide telephonist-actuable functions in addition to those that can initialise and are provided via the control unit 6b.
- a telephonist T shall be able to utilise his/her unit 6c and a mobile telephone apparatus 4 to answer a call and to provide functions and services associated with the interception system.
- FIG 3 illustrates a coupling or switching occasion where a call "A)" initialised by the calling party 3 passes the mobile telephone network 2 and its coupling means to a switching unit 6a or 2a in a server "S", which switches the call “(A)” to a telephonist T chosen in accordance with "(B)” and to a telephonist- associated mobile telephone apparatus 4, via the control unit 6b.
- the telephonist switchboard unit 6c presents on its display surface or screen 6c ' the information stored in the control unit 6b and in a unit 6e applicable to the telephone extension 5 concerned.
- the telephonist T answers the call, and if the extension 5 is free allows the call "(C)" to be switched in the system 2 to the telephone apparatus 5, with the aid of the unit 6a.
- the call is inputted to the unit 6a and can be terminated in said unit or in the system 2, although it can be switched primarily to the telephone apparatus 4 of the telephonist while, at the same time, the unit 6c is activated via the IP network 9, e.g. the "Internet" 9 ' .
- connections 8a, 8b and 8c may conveniently consist of wireless connections via the IP network 9, at least in the case of connections 8a and 8b.
- the extension apparatus 5 may be in radio connection with a base station (TRX; Transceiver).
- TRX base station
- a number of such base stations (TRX) are co-ordinated with a switching centre BSC (Base Station Controller), and a number of such base station controllers (BSC) are co-ordinated with a mobile services switching centre 2' (MSC).
- BSC Base Station Controller
- MSC mobile services switching centre
- the switching unit 6a or 2a of the unit 6, and the units 6b, 6e, 6d may conveniently be placed and mounted in a mobile services switching centre MSC for the mobile telecommunications system 2.
- a control unit 6b may also be connected to a plurality of switching units allocated to a respective block "S1", “S2" and/or "S3".
- he functional parts 6a, 6b are shown to be integrated and mutually coordinated information-wise through the medium of logic connections. In those embodiments most preferred, said functional parts shall be related to the mobile telephone system 2 in the afore described manner, via a connection "(C)".
- the switching unit 6a or 2a is adapted for direct co-action with the mobile telecommunications system 2 via input and output ports, and the control unit 6b is adapted for indirect co-action with the telephonist switchboard units 6c of a telephonist T.
- connection 8, 8a, 8b and 8c may, of course, be typically adapted for the transmission of two-way signals carrying data information.
- the switching unit 6a representing a switching unit for a block "S1", “S2” or “S3", or the switching unit 2a is co-ordinated with all blocks and/or the switching unit 2' is further adapted to initialise and activate a wireless speech-information transfer connection 4a to the telephonist T and his/her telephone apparatus 4.
- each incoming call to the unit 6a is checked against a memory 6a1 and that if the telephone number of the extension 5 is stored in said memory, this means that information relating to said extension is stored in the interception system including the control unit 6b and the unit 6e.
- the switching unit 6a activates the control unit 6b, via said channel or connection, such as to allow evaluation of the information stored in the interception system with regard to said extension 5 wherewith this information may then constitute the basis for selected, automatic coupling of the call through the unit 2 or to connect the call to a telephonist T, while using the switching function 2' and 2a.
- the interception system (including information in the unit 6b and the unit 6c) does not contain any information relating to the extension 5, this is noted in the switching unit 6a or 2a, by virtue of the lack of information in said memory, wherewith the switching unit couples the call directly to the extension 5, via the switching unit 6a or 2a or the switching function 2'.
- the switching unit 6a or 2a Upon receiving call-forwarding information, from the interception system, the switching unit 6a or 2a functions to initialise forwarding of the call, for example to a telephonist T, via a connection 4a and with the aid of the system-associated switching function 2'.
- the call from the apparatus 3 is therewith connected to the telephonist T via a radio link or connection 4a adapted for speech connection and speech communication.
- Such call forwarding stored as software in the unit 6b and in the unit 6e, need not necessarily assign forwarding of a call to the telephonist T, but can assign forwarding of the call to some other connection, to a voice mailbox, or the like.
- Calls to group numbers belonging to the exchange and related to the switching unit 6a or 2a, such as a call from the calling apparatus 3, will be switched automatically to the control unit 6b and presented to the telephonist T on his/her display surface 6c'.
- This presentation on the display surface 6c' can be effected with A-number identification, B-number identification, and with a presentation of the content of the software of the interception system in the unit 6b and/or the unit 6e.
- the telephonist T can confirm a connection via the keyboard 6c", or, alternatively, a through-coupling of a radio-allocated speech connection 4a to the telephonist is initialised.
- a time circuit in the unit 6b may be activated to link or transfer the call to the switching unit 6a or 2a and connect the call back to the telephonist T.
- the switching unit 6a or 2a then informs the control unit 6b that a forwarded call has arrived at a given extension mobile telephone.
- the control unit 6a therewith asks a database and/or the unit 6b or the unit 6e for any information stored therein concerning the mobile telephone 5 concerned and what shall be done with the call.
- the control unit 6b may therewith instruct the switching unit 6a or 2a, or alternatively also the unit 6e, of the procedure that shall be followed, such as; a. Read up an absent message ("I am at lunch and will return at 1 :00 p.m.”). b. Connect to an available telephonist. c. Connect to a voice mailbox. As will be evident from Figure 3, an information transfer data connection can be established between the control unit 2b and said third unit or switchboard unit 6c via the "Internet" 9'.
- the exchange switchboard unit 6c may have the form of a PC unit that includes coupling functions for connection to the "Internet” 9', and also a keyboard 6c" and a display surface 6c', where said units 6b and 6e can be controlled via the keyboard 6c", and where selected parts of the content of said unit 6b or said unit 6e can be displayed on the display surface 6c'.
- All exchange-associated extensions 5, 5a, 5b may be co-ordinated in a service provided by an operator for a commonly used mobile telecommunications system, or may be co-ordinated in the unit 6.
- a branch office that comprises one of several available branch offices that are separated geographically from the co-ordination of mobile telephone apparatus 5, 5a, 5b may be connected from the exchange switchboard unit 6c via an established "Internet" connection 9', as shown in Figure 1.
- the telephonist switchboard unit 6c and the telephonist-allocated mobile telephone apparatus 4 shall be co-ordinated locally, so that in the event of a call to the apparatus 4, the telephonist T will be able to quickly reach the proximity of the telephonist switchboard unit 6c, in the form of the PC unit, and therewith give the calling party any information stored in the unit 6b or the unit 6e, or to enter into the unit 6b and 6a, via the keyboard 6c' information for controlling the switching unit 6a or 2a in a manner to connect the incoming call to the extension in question.
- Figure 4 is a block diagram illustrating a telephonist categorising system 20, which co-acts with the unit 6e and which requires access to a plurality of telephonists Ta, Tb and Tc, such as telephonists co-ordinated in one and the same telephonist position T1 or telephonists co-ordinated in one or more telephonist positions.
- the system 20 requires a plurality of different telephonist sites or places to be stored in the memories 21 , 21 a, 21 b.
- telephonist positions 21 , 21a, 21b or T, T1 , T2 or T3 are also supplemented with data concerning the ability and suitability of respective telephonists Ta, Tb and Tc assigned to said telephonist position to answer an incoming call.
- the telephonist Ta shall be noted as being suitable to handle primarily calls to a chosen group number and that he/she shall be the primary choice in handling calls from a given country and in a given language.
- telephonists Tb and Tc these are noted in respect of corresponding categories, which may be purely individual and/or co-ordinated in the sense that the same tasks can be assigned to several telephonists.
- a call-criterion evaluating unit 22, 22a, 22b and a control unit 23, which allows a call to be forwarded to a selected telephonist on the basis of relevant call criterion.
