Patent

CA 2068633

An enhanced telephony call waiting feature is provided wherein identifying information related to a third party wishing to converse with a first party already engaged in a conversation with a second party is spontaneously provided to the first party. The method comprises the steps of the local office sending a call waiting tone having predetermined characteristics to the first party and its apparatus responding thereto by muting its associated handset for a predetermined interval of time. The local office then transmits the identification data relating to the third party and the first party apparatus receives and displays to the first party the identification information related to the third party thereby allowing the first party to either accept or reject the waiting call in the conventional manner but also based on the displayed information.

L'invention est une fonction améliorée d'attente pour appel téléphonique dans laquelle l'information d'identification reliée à une tierce partie qui désire converser avec un appelant déjà en conversation avec un appelé est transmise spontanément à l'appelant. Dans la méthode de l'invention, le central local transmet à l'appelant une tonalité d'appel en attente à caractéristiques prédéterminées et l'appareil de l'appelant répond à la réception de cette tonalité en bloquant son combiné durant un intervalle de temps prédéterminé. Le central local transmet ensuite les données d'identification de la tierce partie et l'appareil de l'appelant reçoit et affiche l'information d'identification de cette tierce partie, ce qui permet à l'appelant d'accepter ou de rejeter l'appel en attente de la façon habituelle, mais en basant sa décision sur l'information affichée.
