CA 2200125

The method of in-session activation of the present invention gives Telcos the ability to offer callers a menu of call completion services when the call encounters a busy or no-answer condition. It provides in-session activation capability from DTMF and dial-pulse sets enabling callers to activate the services without having to hang up. The method is intended for residential and business end-users with RES, business lines, or PBX lines. In the preferred embodiment, upon no-answer and busy conditions, an announcement informs the caller that one or more call completion services are available. The call completion services can be accessed by using one or more levels of menu through which the end-user navigates by entering digits. If more than one level of menu is used, experienced users (i.e. power users) can always enter the appropriate sequence of digits and activate the desired service right away without having to listen to the announcements.

La méthode d'activation en cours de séance de la présente invention donne aux compagnies de téléphone la possibilité d'offrir aux appelants un menu de services d'établissement d'appel quand la ligne est occupée ou quand l'appelant n'obtient pas de réponse. Elle permet aux appelants utilisant des postes DTMF ou des postes à impulsions de numérotation d'activer les services sans avoir à raccrocher et est conçue pour les utilisateurs résidentiels et commerciaux utilisant des lignes résidentielles, des lignes commerciales ou des lignes PBX. Dans la concrétisation privilégiée de l'invention, en cas d'absence de réponse ou d'occupation de la ligne, un message informe l'appelant qu'un service d'établissement d'appel ou plus est disponible. Des services d'établissement d'appel sont accessibles via un niveau de menu ou plus dans lequel l'utilisateur navigue en introduisant des chiffres. Si plus d'un niveau de menu est utilisé, les utilisateurs expérimentés peuvent toujours introduire la séquence de chiffres appropriée et activer le service désiré immédiatement sans avoir à écouter le message.
