Abstract: A system and method for the creation and delivery of automated, personal information service gathers news, weather, financial and other data for transmission by telephone or other media. The recipient of a given voice broadcast may be detected and discriminated to adjust the content delivery. For instance, if a machine pick-up is detected, the call may be terminated or the message curtailed. Secondary recipients may be authorized in a subscriber's service profile, and other delivery preferences may be registered.

Abstract: This invention relates to a system and method for creation and automatic deployment of personalized, dynamic and interactive voice services, including information derived from on-line analytical processing (OLAP) systems and other data repositories. More specifically, the invention relates to a system and method that enable personalized delivery of information in real-time, via natural language voice communication with a voice-enabled terminal device. The system and method combines personalized information broadcast technology with an active voice page. An active voice page is created by the system, stored in a call database and used to generate dynamic voice menus. A call server retrieves the AVP from the call database and delivers the content of the service by dialing a subscriber's telephone number, speaking message text to the subscriber and recording the subscriber's input in response to the call menus. A unique AVP is generated for each subscriber scheduled to receive voice service content.

Abstract: A system and method for creation and automatic deployment of audible personalized, dynamic and interactive services, including information derived from on-line analytical processing (OLAP) systems, to a two-way communication device, including electronic mail, two-way pagers, phones, personal digital assistants, and telephones, based on subscriber-specified criteria.

Abstract: A centralized voice service bureau is provided. The voice service bureau accepts and authenticates requests to place automated telephone calls, for example, interactive voice broadcasts. The requests are sent through the Internet or other computer network and contain structure and content sufficient to drive a text-to-speech engine. The call requests are queued and processed by a call server that establishes a connection with a user and generates speech from the content of the call request.
