ABSTRACT:
The disclosure allows for creation of special web-page repositories within subsystems of the present PSTN (public switched telephone network) that conform to present architectures for advanced intelligent network (AIN) constructs in telephony. Such repositories would be formed to receive facsimile (fax) telephone transmissions, convert them to HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) web page format, store the converted results and render the latter available for viewing simultaneously--under control of PSTN call management intelligence--to multiple users of the Internet and World Wide Web subject to authorization of would be viewers by the sending party. A typical application of this capability allows for a PSTN user setting up a voice conference to controllably distribute expository charts to other conference participants, via the Internet, thereby adding a video dimension to the voice conference without imposing a bandwidth strain on the PSTN voice networks currently handling the conference, and also allowing for the transmissions to be sent in an orderly manner coordinated with a given participant's voice presentation so that the conference participants can not merely compete in a random and potentially chaotic manner for making such graphic presentations to each other. Such repositories also would be useful to receive graphic information in forms other than that associated with present-day facsimile transmission; e.g. text generated by word processor and/or e-mail applications, or images generated by ordinary computer-graphic applications, all of which could be sent from computers to respective repositories/servers within the PSTN, via the Internet, after conversion by appropriately configured applets (e.g. mini-applications written in a language consistent with web browsers presently used on computers).
