A system comprises an applications server configured to communicatively couple to a softswitch, a resource server, and a database. The applications server is configured to receive, from the softswitch, an indication that a call from a calling party directed to a called number was received and determine, in response to the indication that the call was received, whether to route the call to an available agent or to a speech-enabled intelligent script associated with one of the called number or the calling party. The applications server is configured to instruct the softswitch to route the call to the speech-enabled intelligent script in response to a determination to route the call to the speech-enabled intelligent script. The applications server is configured to instruct the softswitch to route the call to the available agent in response to a determination to route the call to the available agent.

Systems and methods for smart dialogue communication are provided. A method may include receiving, from a responder terminal device, a dialogue request configured to request a smart dialogue communication, wherein the dialogue request is associated with an incoming call request that is initiated by a requester via a requester terminal device and satisfies a smart dialogue condition determined by the responder terminal device; performing the smart dialogue communication with the requester terminal device associated with the requester; recording voice information associated with the smart dialogue communication; converting the voice information into the text information; and transmitting the text information to the responder terminal device.

Terminal information of a mobile terminal via the Internet is transmitted, and an outgoing reservation is made. Along with this, terminal information of a mobile terminal is transmitted from a telephone network to a telephone exchange apparatus of a company. The telephone exchange apparatus checks the terminal information of a call originator mobile terminal for which an outgoing call is reserved via the Internet against call originating terminal information arrived via the telephone network, and when the call originator terminal information arrived via the telephone network can be authenticated, the reserved call destination terminal is called with the company exchange apparatus as a call originator. When a user calls a customer from his/her mobile terminal phone, a telephone number of the personal mobile terminal is not displayed on a call destination terminal. Further, no troublesome operation for callback is required, and the communication cost charged to a company is reduced.

The disclosed techniques enable selective forwarding and blocking of text messages directed to an alias phone number based on a whitelist, as well as text message alerts triggered by text messages from unauthorized originating numbers. More generally, the disclosed techniques enable an enterprise system to store contact phone numbers (i.e., alias phone numbers) for users while avoiding storing and managing personal phone numbers for the user. For example, the enterprise system may forward personal phone numbers to an aliasing server configured to generate alias phone numbers based on the personal phone number. The aliasing server may operate as a “middle man” that receives text messages directed to the alias phone number and that forwards the text messages to the personal phone number when appropriate. The enterprise system may store and maintain the alias phone numbers in lieu of the personal phone numbers.

Handling a related call using a shared call state. The computing system establishes a first call between a first entity and a second entity, assigns a user call identifier to the first call. Next, the second entity instructs that a second call between the first entity and a third entity is to be established. The computing system then establishes the second call between the first entity and the third entity, assigns the same user identifier to the second call, such that the first call and the second call are included in a shared call operation. A first global state of the shared call operation is identified based on a status of at least one of the first call and the second call. When the status of at least one of the first call and the second call changes, the global state of the shared call operation changes from the first global state to a second global state.

A redirection and messaging system receives telephony information identifying a caller and call context from a telephony system. The system selects one of a plurality of messaging operators based on the call context, optionally sends an introductory message to the caller via a messaging service, and generates a message interface for the selected message operator. The message interface includes the caller and call context and any messages sent between the caller and the selected message operator, with an input interface allowing the selected message operator to input and send messages to the caller.
