Abstract: A system for managing electronic messages (24) is disclosed. Recipients (22, 26, 28) of electronic messages may define a set of rules for accepting incoming messages. These rules are applied by a message distributor (18) at substantially the initial point of distribution so that delays in routing messages are reduced. Additionally, network (14) traffic may be reduced because message routing is more direct. Inventors: FINNEY, Michael, S.; 2885 Bohlen Drive, Hilliard, OH 43026 (US).

ABSTRACT A system is disclosed for integrating electronic mail, voicemail, and fax mail in a universal mailbox. Message receivers may access their messages with a telephone or a computer regardless of the communication medium used by the message sender. Using a telephone, message receivers may playback voice mail, redirect fax mail, and "listen" to e-mail through a text-to-speech conversion process. Using a computer and modem, message receivers may playback voice mail, view fax mail, and read e-mail by accessing the universal mailbox via connection software. Message senders and receivers may choose from a variety of filter and forward options that allow them to manage their communications via the universal mailbox. Forwarding and conversion of messages is performed automatically. The options are used to define a set of rules to be applied to inbound and outbound messages so that messages are sent and received in accordance with the preferences of the senders and receIvers.

Abstract: A data transmission routing system which allows a terminal user to access an initial host within a computer network, the initial host determines a preferred target host to respond to the user's requests, the initial host communicates with a terminal or gateway node the target host's address, and the terminal or gateway node makes a connection wth the target host. Once the terminal or gateway node is in communication with the target host, the initial host forwards through the terminal or gateway node user profile information to the target host. The initial host is then disconnected and communication then proceeds with the user in contact with the target host through the terminal or gateway node. The entire process may take less than a second or two and the user may never know that a call deflection to a new host has occurred. Inventors: Douglas Chinnock, Tucson, Ariz.; James Boardman, Vashon Island, Wash.; John Goltz, Tucson, Ariz.
