Patent

CA 2299901

The system includes a computer adapted to conduct voice-over-data-protocol telephone calls, typically voice over Internet Protocol. Alternatively, the computer is adapted to conduct multi-media-over-data-protocol calls. The computer is connected to an on-line data service such as by a dial-up telephone connection. While on- line, a user at the computer is able to conduct telephone or multi-media calls with a voice- over-data- protocol or multi-media-over-data-protocol respectively. The user is able to place the call on hold, without disconnecting the call and perform other actions, such as performing on-line activities, or taking a second voice or multi-media call. The party placed on hold is informed of the hold action. The hold function is typically invoked by the computer and performed at a gateway, though hold at the computer and invoke by the non- computer party are alternatives. A set-top-box is considered a computer within the scope of the invention.
