ABSTRACT:
In an apparatus and method for transmitting a predefined set of information from a local station, operated by a user, to a remote station over a telephone connection, the set of information is stored and an audible request from the remote station for the set of information is presented to the user at the local station. A transfer signal, initiated by the user, that indicates that the user desires that the set of information be transferred to the remote station is generated. A circuit that is responsive to the transfer signal then transfers the set of information from the storing circuit to the remote station. A series of operational steps to be performed on a computer is used to effect the transfer of a predefined set of information from a local station to a remote station over a telephone line. An activation indicator, that indicates that a user desires the information to be transmitted, is generated in response to a user input at the local station. The computer takes control of the telephone line in response to the activation indicator. The computer transmits either a recorded analog signal containing the set of information or a digital data stream containing the set of information over the channel. The computer verifies that the set of information was properly received by the remote station. After verifying the accuracy of the transfer, the computer returns control of the telephone line to the telephone to either terminate or continue the call.
