System and method for recording telephone conversations

摘要

The present invention is directed to a system and method for recording telephone conversations. In one embodiment, a telephone conversation between two or more parties is recorded and the recording of the conversation can be stopped without terminating or effecting the communication between the parties. Any of the parties to the conversation may request that the conversation be recorded or terminate the recording of that conversation. The party initiating the recording of the conversation may request the playback of the recorded conversation provided that party has playback service. If one of the parties requests that the conversation be recorded, then the non-recording parties (i.e., the one or more parties not requesting that the conversation be recorded) are notified that the conversation is being recorded if the applicable law at the location of the non-recording parties mandates that the non-recording parties be notified that the conversation is being recorded.
