Abstract

The Universal Wake-up System consists of the development of a system, which is independent and external to the telephone exchange which will facilitate access to the wake-up service. Access to the service will be effected from any type of telephone apparatus, fixed line or cell phone, simply by dialing or keying in an access number to the service. On accessing the service the user will initiate a normal telephone call which will be routed and end in the provision of an operator, attendant or Automatic Response Unit (ARU), equipped with attributes to give guidance on programming procedures, cancellation and verification of the service. The user will not use specialized procedures to request any function of the wake-up service. Requests will be made verbally or by navigating between options offered by the system. The connection of the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) to the equipment will occur via subscriber line, trunk, PABX branch or a code or special number, depending on who is responsible for the commercial exploitation of the service. The connection of equipment to the PSTN will occur through automatic dialing of the number requested to receive a wake-up call. (AU)
