  • Simulation of telephone handset
    Patent number: 6400807
    Abstract: A system for developing and testing a telephony application on a interactive voice system without using associated telephony hardware. The telephony application normally sends and receives hardware signals to and from the system telephony hardware for communication with a telephone. In this invention a telephony emulator intercepts the hardware signals from the voice application and sends back simulated hardware signals to the voice application. A graphical user interface provides the user output in response to the telephony emulator means and accepts and passes on user input to the emulator means.
