Abstract: A fully digital voice response system is disclosed. The system comprises a digital processor and a circuit for coupling the digital processor to a digital computer and a digital telephone network, the coupling circuit being a fully digital communications path. The system receives digital data from an instrument coupled to the digital telephone network, translates the received data into a digital computer query and transmits the query to the digital computer via the digital telephone network. The processor also receives digital data from the digital computer, translates the digital data into digital data representing a voice, facsimile or data for a digital computer and transmits the data via digital telephone lines to the instrument. In this manner, the system receives a command from a person and responds to the command with data retrieved from the digital computer, the system presenting the data to the person in voice or facsimile form or in a form suitable for reception by another digital computer.

Abstract: A system and method of answering incoming calls are disclosed in which, if the resource (18)(19) desired by the caller is not then available, a robot controller (14) will inform the caller when a call back to the caller can be made. The callback time can be suggested by the robot controller (14) or the caller can request a specific callback time. The robot controller (14) ascertains and verifies the caller's call back identity and stores the number of the identity in a callback queue (11) along with such other pertinent information as the callback time, the caller's name and the required resource. At the appropriate time, the robot controller (14) removes the information from the callback queue (11), places the call and connects the desired resource (18)(19).
