Publication number: 20140142726Abstract: An automation system for programming appliances having programmable controllers, programmable devices and trigger devices that communicate over a communication link. The user programs the programmable devices by placing the programmable controller in its training mode, activating the trigger device to generate a trigger signed and places select programmable devices in their programmed state. After all of the desired programmable devices have been put in then programmed states, the user takes the programmable controller out of its training mode. When the programmable controller is out of its training mode, it monitors the communication link for the trigger event. Upon detecting the trigger event, the programmable controller sends messages to the selected programmable devices instructing them to go to their programmed state.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2014Publication date: May 22, 2014Applicant: Ameritech Services, Inc.Inventor: RAYMOND W.

Patent number: 5311589Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting dual-tone, multi-frequency (DTMF) digits and call progress tones by determining the amplitudes of preselected frequencies in a signal over a predetermined time period, and determining a candidate tone by selecting two of the preselected frequencies with the highest amplitudes and comparing the two selected frequencies to known DTMF and call progress tone frequencies. The amplitudes of the two selected frequencies are then tested against predefined thresholds corresponding to a candidate tone having the two selected frequencies. The candidate tone in the current time period is tested against candidate tones in previous time periods for consistency. If the candidate tone is a DTMF digit and passed all of the tests, then the DTMF digit is returned. If the candidate tone is a call progress tone, the pattern of the candidate tone over a plurality of predetermined time periods is recorded and tested against known patterns of the candidate tone.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 1992Date of Patent: May 10, 1994Assignee: AT&T Bell LaboratoriesInventors: Raymond W.

Patent number: 5195087Abstract: An arrangement providing a monitor-on-hold feature for telephone station apparatus. The exemplary apparatus includes a handset transmitter and receiver, a speaker, and four user control buttons. A user is given the capability to move a connection for a first call from the handset to the speaker by simply actuating one of the buttons, the PRIVACY button. A connection is thereafter completed to the handset to answer a second call in privacy by actuating a second button, the NEWCALL button, while continuing to monitor the first call via the speaker. The capability to move connections is provided by a microprocessor-controlled switch included within the apparatus to selectively interconnect the two communications channels used for the two calls, with the handset and the speaker. Alternatively, the moving of connections is effected within the switching system serving the telephone station.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 1992Date of Patent: March 16, 1993Assignee: AT&T Bell LaboratoriesInventors: Raymond W.
