Abstract
A method implemented to provide voice calls in a network. The method comprises receiving a voice call initiation request at a caller agent, wherein the voice call initiation request is triggered by a caller initiating a voice call via a caller equipment, wherein the voice call is destined to a callee equipment communicatively coupled with the network to reach a caller, and wherein the caller agent and a callee agent interact with the caller equipment and the callee equipment respectively. The method further comprise sending a call connection message to the caller equipment, receiving an acknowledgment message from the caller equipment, and opening a voice channel between the caller and the caller agent without waiting for a callee agent response.
Claims24
A method to provide voice calls in a network, the method comprising:
- receiving a voice call initiation request at a caller agent, wherein the voice call initiation request is triggered by a caller initiating a voice call via a caller equipment, wherein the voice call is destined to a callee equipment communicatively coupled with the network to reach a caller, wherein the caller agent and a callee agent interact with the caller equipment and the callee equipment respectively, and wherein the voice call initiation request is one of:
- a call pattern including a number representing the callee and a set of one or more additional characters, and
- a number representing the callee;
- sending a call connection message to the caller equipment;
- receiving an acknowledgment message from the caller equipment;
- and
- opening a voice channel between the caller and the caller agent without waiting for a callee agent response.
(canceled)
A method to provide voice calls in a network, the method comprising:
- receiving an incoming voice call indication at a callee agent, wherein the incoming voice call indication is triggered by a caller initiating a voice call via a caller equipment, wherein the voice call is destined to a first callee equipment communicatively coupled with the network to reach a caller, and wherein a caller agent and the callee agent interact with the caller equipment and the first callee equipment respectively to establish a voice call between the caller and the callee;
- informing the caller agent that the callee being alerted;
- receiving a first alert message indicating an anomaly has been detected;
- and
- sending a second alert message indicating the anomaly without establishing a voice channel to the callee.
A network element configured as a caller agent to provide voice calls in a network, the network element comprising:
- an incoming call processor configured to receive a voice call initiation request, wherein the voice call initiation request is triggered by a caller initiating a voice call via a caller equipment, wherein the voice call is destined to a callee equipment communicatively coupled with the network to reach a caller, wherein the caller agent and a callee agent interact with the caller equipment and the callee equipment respectively, and wherein the voice call initiation request is one of:
- a call pattern including a number representing the callee and a set of one or more additional characters, and
- a number representing the callee;
- a communication module configured to send a call connection message to the caller equipment, and wherein the communication module is further configured to receive an acknowledgment from the caller equipment;
- and
- a call setup processor configured to open a voice channel between the caller and the caller agent without waiting for a callee agent response.
(canceled)
A method to provide priority indicating voice calls in a network, the method comprising:
- receiving a voice call request containing a callee number at a caller agent, wherein the callee number is dialed by a caller initiating a voice call via a caller phone equipment, wherein the voice call is destined to a callee phone equipment communicatively coupled with the network to reach a caller, and wherein the caller agent and a callee agent interact with the caller phone equipment and the callee phone equipment respectively;
- sending a call connection message to the caller phone equipment;
- receiving an acknowledgment from the caller phone equipment;
- opening a voice channel between the caller and the caller agent without waiting for a callee agent response;
- comparing sounds in the voice channel with a stored voice profile to detect an anomaly;
- and
- sending an anomaly indication when the anomaly is detected.
A caller agent to provide priority indicating voice calls in a network, comprising:
- an incoming call processor configured to receive a voice call initiation request containing a callee number, wherein the voice call initiation request is triggered by a caller dialing a number on a caller phone equipment, wherein the voice call is destined to a callee phone equipment communicatively coupled with the network to reach a caller, and wherein the caller agent and a callee agent interact with the caller phone equipment and the callee phone equipment respectively;
- a communication module configured to send a call connection message to the caller phone equipment, and wherein the communication module is further configured to receive an acknowledgment from the caller phone equipment;
- a call setup processor configured to open a voice channel between the caller and the caller agent without waiting for a callee agent response;
- and
- a voice anomaly detector, wherein the voice anomaly detector comprises a voice analyzer configured to compare sounds in the voice channel with a stored voice profile to detect an anomaly and send an anomaly indication when the anomaly is detected.
