  • System 10 consists of a service node 11 which is coupled, in this example, to wireless communication system 12 which is coupled to PSTN 14. It should be noted here that the present invention will also function without wireless communication system 12 by way of direct connection to PSTN 14.
  • System 10 also includes a connection to a data system 15, such as an Internet connection.
  • a mobile switch center (MSC) 16 coupled to PSTN 14 and a base site 17.
  • System 12 will have one or more registers associated therewith, such as a home location register (HLR) 18.

  • Service node 11 provides the elements to conduct the processing involving the present invention described below.
  • Service node 11 consists of a controller 20 having a service logic program 21 associated therewith.

  • an email message is sent from service provider 104 to a user of service provider 105.
  • the user of service provider 105 retrieves the email message (step 200) using, for example, a computer terminal 150 having a voice modem 151.
  • the receiver then directs the network to reply to the email using an audio reply (step 203) .
  • the system will determine the associated audio reply address (217) and use the voice modem to originate an audio communication (step 204) over PSTN 14.

Abstract

Une unité de communication (19) fonctionne de façon à extraire (212) un message de données de courrier électronique. Une adresse de réponse audio associée est déterminée pour le message de courrier électronique (217). L'unité de communication (19) envoie une réponse à l'adresse de réponse audio associée. Une communication audio est alors émise à destination de l'adresse de réponse audio associée (204).
