ABSTRACT:
A method of enabling the efficient use of a standard host computer with a voice message processing apparatus using a telephone interface and voice processing system, that comprises, providing a universal supervisory circuit between the host computer and the telephone interface and voice processing system, the circuit having a memory that stores data of a type useful to interface with said telephone and voice processing interface system, the circuit performing the steps of receiving standard serial data from the host computer such as telephone answering, voice message storing and other commands; storing in the supervisory circuit memory particular serial data commands tailored to command and control the telephone interface and voice processing system; using the data stored in the memory to translate said received standard serial data from the host computer into command and control language recognizable by the telephone interface and voice processing system; converting the translated language into parallel data; and prioritizing the application of said parallel data to said telephone interface and voice processing system for efficient transmission to the telephone interface system; the telephone interface and voice processing system generating parallel data, such as line-ringing and other status data, translated by the supervisory circuit into standard serial data recognizable by the host computer; and prioritizing the transmission of the last-named standard serial data to the host computer.
