Method and system for automatically inserting at least one pause into means for memorizing a dialing sequence

A system for automatically storing data representing at least one pause in a sequence of data representing a dialing sequence comprising means for memorizing a dialing sequence and said at least one pause in the correct order;

• means for detecting the appearance, persistence and interruption of a substantially continuous signal on a line in an information transmission network within a time period substantially shorter than a human listener requires to perceive said substantially continuous signal and to engage means for generating a signal representing at least one member of said dialng sequence;
• means for detecting engagement of means for generating, on said line, a signal representing at least one member of said dialing sequence;
• means for delaying said generating immediately after said detecting said engagement for a time sufficient to detect persistence or interruption of said substantially continuous signal on said line, but within a time period substantially imperceptible to a human listener;
• and means for automatically storing data representing a pause in said dialing sequence in said memorizing means before storing data representing any member of said dialing sequence if said substantially continuous signal is detected before, and persists on said line uninterrupted after said engagement.

A method for storing data representng at least one pause in a sequence of data representing a dialing sequence into means for memorizing said dialing sequence comprising detecting dial tone on a telephone line for a time interval insufficient for a human listener to perceive said dial tone, and thereafter engaging means for generating a digit in said dialing sequence;

• detecting engagement of means for generating, on said line, a signal representing at least one member of said dialing sequence;
• immediately after detecting said engagement, delaying said generating for a time interval sufficient to detect persistence or interruption of said dial tone, but for a time interval substantially imperceptible to a human listener;
• storing data representing each of said members in said means for memorizing at its correct position in said dialing sequence;
• and automatically storing data representing a pause in said data sequence and in said means for memorizing before any member of said sequence in response to detection of said dial tone before and after detecting engagement of said generating means.

A system for automatically storing data representing at least one pause in a sequence of data representing a dialing sequence comprising means for memorizing a dialing sequence and said at least one pause, all in the correct order;

• means for detecting the appearance, persistence and interruption of dial tone on a telephone line within a time period substantially shorter than a human listener requires to perceive said dial tone and to engage means for generating a signal representing at least one member of said dialing sequence;
• means for detecting engagement of means for generating, on said line, a signal representing at least one member of said dialing sequence;
• means for delaying said generating immediately after said detecting for a time sufficient to detect persistence or interruption of said dial tone on said line, but within a time period substantially imperceptible to a human listener;
• and means for automatically storing data representing a pause in said dialing sequence in said memorizing means before storing data representing a dialing sequence member if said dial tone is detected before, and persists on said line uninterrupted after said engagement.
