APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING BASIC AND SUPPLEMENTARY SUBSCRIBER SERVICE IN A TELEPHONE SYSTEM
摘要
The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for controlling basic and supplementary subscriber service in a digital telephone exchange (3). The invention provides an Internet server (2) connected to the digital telephone exchange (3) in such a way that the server (2) can control the supplementary subscriber service system (5) in accordance with instructions received from a subscriber via an Internet access (7). The Internet access (7) may be provided in the form of a web browser (1). The invention provides a more user friendly interface to the supplementary subscriber service system (5) compared to the usual depressing of pushbuttons on the telephone apparatus in response to requests and/or messages in the form of stored voice messages from the digital telephone exchange (3).
