  • Computer integrated telecommunications systems and methods
    Patent number: 6681001
    Abstract: Computer integrated telecommunication systems are disclosed that provide a message exchange interface that transfers data and control requests generated by applications running on a computer system directly to a telecommunications unit that is adapted to respond to the data and control requests generated by these application programs. In particular, PBX systems are disclosed that include message exchange interfaces that provide fault tolerant operation and that directly map application programs running on a computer system into the controller element of the PBX system. Further systems are disclosed that provide message exchange interfaces that allow the efficient transfer of audio signals between a computer system and a telecommunication unit.
    Type: Grant

  • Hierarchial memory ring protection system using comparisons of requested and previously accessed addresses
    Patent number: 4409655
    Abstract: A data processing system handles thirty-two bit logical addresses which can be derived from either sixteen bit logical addresses or thirty-two bit logical addresses. The system uses hierarchical memory storage using in a particular embodiment eight storage segments (rings), access to the rings being controlled in a privileged manner according to different levels of privilege. The segment locations are designated by successive segment numbers having a descending order of protection with reference to data accesses thereto. A current address for data access includes a segment identification and a comparison is made with the segment identification of a preceding address to determine whether access can be made by the current address.
