Abstract:

An apparatus and method are provided for selecting a portion of a group of people who live in a defined geographic area that are more likely than the average population in that geographic area to perform a particular action. The apparatus includes a database for storing data. Such data includes indicia of: a group of people who live in the defined geographic area; the geographic location of the residence of each person in the group of people; and the propensity for one or more persons in the group of people who live in a particular residence to perform the particular action. The apparatus also includes a display for showing the relative locations of the residences in the geographic area and a visually recognizable indication of the propensity for one or more persons who live in a particular residence to perform the particular action.

Assignee:

Jayem Dialer Corp. - Westfield NJ

International Classification:

H04M 1274

US Classification:

179 90BD

Abstract:

Automatic calling systems and methods therefor are provided in accordance with the teachings of the present invention wherein automatic dialing apparatus is connected in parallel with one or more telephone lines within a subscriber's system. Any telephone handset connectable to that telephone line may enter a code on the telephone line to cause the automatic dialing apparatus to become operative to initiate dialing of a predetermined telephone number or portion thereof. When such telephone number comprises an access code for a private leased line subscriber system, the automatic dialing apparatus will also subsequently issue digit information corresponding to the subscriber's billing code. While capable of being implemented in dial modes, the automatic dialing apparatus employed within the instant invention preferably accomplishes automatic dialing by way of issuing DTMF codes regardless of the manner in which it is selectively enabled so that connection with a leased line system appears to be initiated by a DTMF system. Depending upon the embodiment considered, one or more telephone lines within a subscriber's system may be serviced and codes entered at handsets for the purpose of enabling the automatic dialing apparatus may take the form of initial ones of the telephone number to be automatically dialed or input codes to which local telephone equipment does not respond may be employed.

International Classification:

H04M 1510

US Classification:

179 18BA

Abstract:

A processor-controlled automatic calling system is connected to a plurality of telephone lines within a subscriber's telephone system and all telephone sets within the subscriber's telephone system are monitored for the occurrence of an off hook condition. Upon the occurrence of an off hook condition, a user is permitted a predetermined interval for initiating operation of the automatic calling system through entry of a service code to cause an accessed telephone number and billing code to be outpulsed. The accessed telephone number outpulsed, the response tone of a contacted computer monitored, and the billing code outpulsed by the automatic calling system upon receipt of such response tone, are readily programmable at the user's site by placement of the automatic calling system in a program mode. In certain embodiments of the invention, an accessing telephone set is muted while the automatic calling system is performing outpulsing functions. Outpulsing functions are preferably performed under the control of a hardware timer to allow additional functions to be performed by a processor on a time-shared basis, and multiple telephone numbers and billing codes may be automatically accessed.
