Definitions
- the Internet has rapidly changed the way people are starting to communicate and the Internet Service Provider has given rise to a rapidly growing service industry.
- the legacy post office mail and telephone system communication methods are rapidly being replaced by e-mail communication.
- the reason is simple; e-mail is both more convenient and less expensive than legacy mail and/or long distance charges. This is especially true for other country mail delivery or legacy telephone service.
- the facsimile machine Before long, the facsimile machine will hardly be recognizable in its present form (see co-pending MIMS invention U.S. Serial No. 60/114,594).
- MIMS invention U.S. Serial No. 60/114,594 see co-pending MIMS invention U.S. Serial No. 60/114,594.
- Even new telephones, and software operated on ISP platforms designed to use the Internet to reduce long distance charges are becoming more user friendly even though they are far from practical.
- all of these new Internet communication systems still keep the e-mail address separate from the telephone numbers created by the legacy telephone companies.
- the new telephone system described herein uses and combines the basic infrastructure and methods of existing legacy telephone systems, pager systems, and e-mail systems.
- the new system refers to one key subsystem element as an E-phone (EP) to distinguish it from the legacy telephones and the other key subsystem element as a Client Service Provider Unit (CSPU) to distinguish it from the existing legacy telephone service systems.
- E-phone E-phone
- CSPU Client Service Provider Unit
- the CSP system can use both regular telephone and pager numbers to connect to another person or machine and it can use e-mail addresses to connect to another person or machine.
- each EP has at least one e-mail address associated with it that has been verified as unique by an Internet Service Provider (ISP).
- ISP Internet Service Provider
- the ISP could also be your local telephone company.
- the preferred embodiment of the EP/CSP invention allows graceful and convenient conversion into the information age using a new alphanumeric system to replace the legacy numeric systems. Equally important the new system allows a seamless conversion to a universal worldwide "alpha-numeric" system that each country can use to eventually phase out their existing limited "area code” numbering system. That is, there will be no need for country codes once the EP/CSP system is in full operation. An early inconvenience for those not used to computers and keyboards, is the need for dialing alpha-numeric e-mail addresses rather than just numeric numbers.
- the change to the mandatory ten numbers dialing system is conditioning most people for change already.
- most of the new digital telephones allow individuals to store up to several hundred telephone numbers for automatic dialing so such an inconvenience will be more than offset by not having to remember separate facsimile, telephone, and e-mail information for the same person or company.
- the EP/CSP system allows a person to have a single e-mail number for the telephone, and by adding 7F" or 7M", or other suitable codes, at the end of the e-mail number, one can call the same person's facsimile or computer modem. Thus only one alphanumeric string is required on the business card or letterhead. Also, if you are in a company and have an extension you just add xxx" for the extension number.
- the new system will provide unlimited telephone capacity and eliminate the need for having separate 1-800, facsimile, e-mail, telephone, and pager directories which must be constantly updated.
- the new system will automatically search for all five numbers each time you call and if the individual does not have the one you called it will tell you the individual does not have that service (e.g. 1-800 service). All the caller has to do is add 7xxx" for the desired service. For example, if one computer is calling another computer then the computer software will automatically add 7M" at the end of the e-mail number and the CSP will connect the caller to the computer line rather than the voice or facsimile line.
- the new system is also suited for the conversion to line sharing systems such as the one recently announced by Sprint.
- line sharing systems such as the one recently announced by Sprint.
- the EP/CSP subsystem elements automatically listen for their coded address before allowing a connection to be made or a function delivered.
- This is part of the Internet protocol features that are incorporated into the EP/CSP system design. That is, the EP telephone will work with both dedicated lines systems and network systems such as WWW, the company Intranet or Extranet.
- the EP/CSP system design truly anticipates and combines the various types of communication styles used today and foreseen in the 21 st century.
- FIG. 1 shows a diagram depicting the major E-phone communication subsystem elements.
- E-phone units are shown by way of example representing the most common telephone system I/O units in use today.
- the four most common direct means of connecting telephones and data machines today are shown along with an Internet link which uses the same infrastructure lines as the direct connect lines but with a special protocol which allows universal packet communication between Internet Service Providers.

- the basic EP and CSP subsystem elements are depicted and are comprised of the EP caller and receiver units 10, the communication links 20, and the communication Client Service Provider Unit (CSPU) 30.
- the caller EP units 10 are the same as the receiver EP units 10 except in the case of one way pager EP unit. Although, any of the caller EP units 10, can be used with any of the receiver EP units 10.
- a caller may be using a WEB TV or computer telephone EP unit 10 and contact someone that is using a regular telephone EP unit 10. Since this is understood, hereafter, we will not make a distinction between the caller and receiver EP units 10 unless it is required to make a distinction for the sake of clarity as is the case with the one way pager EP units.
- EPU 10 E-phone Units
- These E-phone Units (EPU) 10 are connected via 25 by one of several common direct connect communication links 20 ranging from the old copper wires to fiber optic cables and satellite links and of course this includes the Internet Backbones shown separately as connected by 26.
- the wireless cellular network links are shown in 20 since they are the communication links of choice for non-urban systems and pager networks.
- One connection and communication session between two EPU 10 subsystem elements may use any combination or all four methods shown in 20, depending on the locations of the EPU's being connected and the service requested.
- the communication link 20 is connected via 35 (direct connect) and 36 (Internet connect) to at least one CSP 30 which is used to condition the communication signals and determine the amount of money to charge the EPU 10 owner responsible for the call and service provided.
- the CSPU 30 is further described to show how the signal from the EPU unit 10 received from one of the links 30 via 35 or 36 is processed using the new alpha-numeric protocols and methods.
- the CSPU 30 has a communication interface and modem unit (CMU) 310 that is the same as used in current telephone processing centers.
- This CMU 310 is connected via 315 to a special front end processing unit 320 that looks for the "@" symbol (or other selected special symbol if the preferred embodiment is not used) in the front end connection signal 35.
- the "@" symbol is used herein merely by way of example, and another symbol or group of symbols could be used in implementing the present invention.
- the physical connection portion of the CMU 310 is not discussed since there are no changes required in this part of the legacy systems signal processing to implement the EP and CSP system described. If no "@" Symbol is detected in the front-end protocol connection signal 35 by unit 320 then the signal is sent via 325 directly to the existing legacy telephone Service Provider Unit for processing (LSPU) 350 for normal dialing and connection. That is, if a legacy protocol signal 35 is detected by 30, the CSPU 30 operates just like in a LSPU of today. When an "@" symbol is detected in the front- end protocol the signal is sent via line 327 from unit 320 to the ⁇ String Conversion Processing Unit (@CPU) 330 for processing.
- LSPU legacy telephone Service Provider Unit for processing
- the @CPU 330 primarily checks to find the legacy numbers associated with the ⁇ String received via line 327. In addition the @CPU 330 determines which type of connection the EPU 10 caller requested. That is, the @CPU 330 determines if the caller EPU 10 requested to be connected to a computer modem, facsimile, pager, e-mail, extension, etc. In the preferred embodiment the 7xxx" symbols are used to make such choices since they are natural extensions of the Internet back slash "/" methods becoming so familiar to everyone. The suggested method is an advanced form of legacy front- end protocols like " * 72" used to day to have special meaning such as, "call forwarding" to the LSPU 350 units.
- the @CPU 330 sends the legacy number directly to the LSPU 350 via line 335.
- the @CPU 330 sends the signal via line 337 to the E-telephone Dialer Processing Unit (EDPU) 340 to condition the signal for connection.
- EDPU E-telephone Dialer Processing Unit
- the EDPU 340 is very similar, if not the same hardware, as most LSPU 350 systems since its role is to send both protocol and communication signals via line 345 to the CMU 310 unit for connection. The only difference is that the EDPU 340 knows that the receiver EPU 10 is using the new CSP alphanumeric system and thus there are many more signaling options available. The most notable would be communication over the Internet similar to the Internet telephones using a much lower price since the messages will be packet switched all the way rather than a dedicated line for the "last mile" on each end. Note that for many years the telephone companies may assign "Virtual" numbers to the various alpha-numeric strings in order to use the existing LSPU 350 systems for connection purposes.
- an "@" detected signal is sent from the front-end processing unit 320 via line 327 to the CSP 30 @CPU unit 330 that has an Address Correlator Unit (ACU) 90 connected via line 93 to a Client Service Provider Database Unit (CSPDU) 91 , and via line 97 to a legacy number storage unit (LSU) 92, and via line 98 to an e-mail alpha-numeric string storage unit 95.
- ACU 90 Address Correlator Unit
- CSPDU Client Service Provider Database Unit
- LSU legacy number storage unit
- the ACU 90 then cross-correlates with the CSPDU 91 and sends all the available legacy numbers to storage units 92 via line 97, and the alpha-numeric storage unit 95 receives all the ⁇ strings via line 98.
- the 7F" number is sent to the LPSU 350 via line 335 even though it was determined that the individual being called also had a regular telephone number 01-571-3833, a modem number 01- 214-631-9301 , and a pager number 01-817-475-2484 shown in storage unit 92.
- the output would have been C1C2@AOL.com/f sent out on line 337.
- the reason a complete correlation is done by the ACU 90 is for other options that might be exercised later in case the receiver EPU 10 fails to answer the connect signal in a predetermined length of time.
- the most obvious other options are predetermined requests to page the owner of the receiver EPU 10 or send a voice message to the receiver EPU 10 voice box.
- Such services are in common use today so the current invention makes it easy to fulfill such services and even add some new services. Services, like paging on demand by the caller EPU 10. This could be done by using a special double back slash such as 7/p" for a request by the caller EPU 10 to page the individual if they have a receiver EPU 10 page number, and there is no answer after a predetermined period of time.
- the request may be for a low cost Internet connection using lines 26 and 36 if a direct connection can not be made on lines 25 and 35.
- Today no such demand options are available to the caller EPU 10, only to the owner of the receiver EPU 10 are these options available plus they are not demand options but on or off options. These are just some of the advantage of combining all of the various legacy systems into a worldwide network.
- the ACU 90 and CSPDU 91 units are really distributed units spread all over the world and connected by router networks used to keep the master data bases current just like the Internet systems use. However, with the technology today this is not such a difficult task and must be done anyway for the WWW traffic. The point is, this part of the system will most likely be distributed for several years to come even though it is depicted in this system as a simple data base CSPDU 91 and correlator ACU 90 unit.
- the EPU 10 has an External Interface Unit (EIU) 105 connected to the communication link 20 via line(s) 25 for direct connect and 26 for Internet connect.
- the EIU 105 is shown connected to the Modem Unit (MU) 110 via line(s) 102 which may be the same or might be different just like the lines 25 or 26 may be the same or different.
- a power source 112 is connected to all the units but for simplicity is only shown connected to the EIU 105.
- the EIU 105 and MU 110 are the basic communication elements and depending on if the EPU 10 is a computer, cellular telephone, WEB TV system or regular telephone each one has these two communication elements does not need to change.
- the legacy system EPU's 10 have a Protocol overlay on the Front end (the caller function end) and the Back end (the receiver function end). On the Front end the user only has to learn how to type in alphanumeric strings, such as an e-mail address or a domain name, in addition to legacy communication numbers using the KU 130.
- This caller string is then sent via 135 to the DPU 120 and appended after the EP unique code denoting the caller ID from the EPCSU 170 from those EPU 10 units that have that function performed at the EPU 10 location. Both of these signals are then sent directly from the DPU 120 via lines 115,102, and 25 or 26 to the CSP 30 via line 35 or 36.
- the caller ID is appended at the CSP location. However, for purposes of clarity this description assumes it is performed at the EPU 10.
- Figure 4 is used to describe how data messages can be sent or received over the E-phone.
- These are features that are not currently available in the legacy telephone system. The features are available using the new breed of combination hand held computers/telephone units such as the Nokia 9000 communicator series or with modern telephone software designed for PC systems such as Communicator PRO. However all of these other systems assume that the telephone number is different than the e-mail address and handle e-mail communications and telephone communication in two entirely different modes.
- the systems use the legacy telephone system protocols and methods and when performing e-mail communication they use legacy e-mail protocols and methods, when contacting someone by pager, the pager numbering system and protocol are used.
- the E- phone system allows these functions to be combined and greatly simplify the communication process for the individual and will also simplify the communication systems of the future compared to the multi-legacy systems of today.
