US Patent:

46351892, Jan 6, 1987

Filed:

Mar 1, 1984

Appl. No.:

6/585003

Inventors:

Burton Kendall - Saratoga CA

Assignee:

Measurex Corporation - Cupertino CA

International Classification:

G06F 1200

US Classification:

364200

Abstract:

A real-time distributed data-base system that stores in the local memory of each processor copies of only those variables necessary for execution of the programs in that processor. Performance is enhanced by using the absolute address of variables in each program reference, with automatic updating of all program references when the location of variables are changed. Flexibility in user application programming is enhanced by permitting combination and conditional updates of variables through the interaction of multiple processors.

Assignee:

OCTEL Communications Corporation - Milpitas CA

International Classification:

H04M 350

US Classification:

379 67

Abstract:

The present invention provides a highly reliable network of interconnected voice processing modules. The voice processing modules are interconnected by a high speed FDDI (Fiber Distributed Data Interface) network so that information can be transferred between the modules at high speed. All of the incoming lines for all the interconnected modules are connected in a single hunt group. Each user's profile is stored in two modules and each module includes a directory that shows were each user's profile is stored. When a call arrives at a particular module, the directory is first checked to insure that the desired user does have a mailbox somewhere on the network and to determine where the particular user's profile is located. The user's profile is obtained via the FDDI network from one of the modules where it is located. The profile will show where the associated greeting is stored.
