A communications network simultaneously transmits a single message to a number of recipients. This is called a "multicast" transmission. The communications network should have a recipient list database (1302) to receive a list of recipient addresses, a message database (1304) to receive and store the message, and a message delivery system (1306) to send the message to a number of recipients. The communications network may be adapted to collect acknowledgements or responses to a multicast message. If so, the communications network should have a calling record (1308) for storing message delivery information, a response record (1310) for receiving and storing recipient response information, a response processor (1312) for processing the response information, and a response delivery system (1314) for delivering the processed response. The multicast capability may be integrated with other communications network services, such as Personal Location Service, Personal Communications Internetworking, call blocking, etc.

L'invention concerne un réseau de communications qui transmet simultanément un message unique à un nombre de destinataires. Ce type de communication est appelé transmission "multidestinataire". Le réseau de communications doit comporter une base de données (1302) pour la réception d'une liste d'adresses de destinataires, une base de données (1304) pour la réception et le stockage de messages et un système d'acheminement de messages (1306) pour l'envoi de messages à un nombre de destinataires. Le réseau de communications peut être adapté pour recueillir des accusés de réception ou réponses à un message multidestinataire. Dans ce cas, le réseau de communications doit avoir un enregistreur d'appels (1308) qui stocke les informations relatives à la distribution des messages, un enregistreur de réponses (1310) qui reçoit et stocke des informations relatives aux réponses des destinataires, un processeur de réponses (1312) qui traite les informations relatives aux réponses et un système d'acheminement des réponses (1314) qui achemine la réponse traitée. La capacité multidestinataire peut être intégrée à d'autres services de réseaux de communications tels que le service d'implantation personnelle, l'interréseautage de communications personnelles, le blocage d'appels, etc.
