1.7. SyntellectTM Patent Protection: Automated Attendant

As a result of the Dialogic patent license agreement with Syntellect Technology Corporation (STC), you may purchase products that are licensed for specific telephony patents held by Syntellect directly from Dialogic. These patents cover a range of common functions used in computer telephony such as automated attendant, automated access and call processing to facilitate call completions.

One way to protect against potential patent infringement is by purchasing specific Dialogic hardware and software that include a license for the Syntellect Technology Corporation patent portfolio. These products have a part number designation of "STC." Any Dialogic product that does not contain the "STC" designation in its part number is not licensed under the STC patent portfolio.

For additional information on the Dialogic and Syntellect patent license agreement refer to the topic "Company" and "Press Room" at the Dialogic World Wide Web site at http://support.dialogic.com

The Syntellect software included on the Dialogic System Release Software and SDK for Windows is designed to be incorporated into any type of application. If your application requires patented Syntellect technology, you can use the API function calls in the Syntellect software to assure that licensed STC-enabled hardware is in the system, and if so, you may implement the patented functions.

The Syntellect hardware and software package offers a superset of features not available on non-STC boards. They include:

• A new library of API function calls.
• A sample automated attendant application that can be integrated in your voice processing application. The automated attendant:
  • checks for an incoming call
  • answers the call and plays a voice file
  • receives digit input and transfers the call to the proper extension
• The source code and demonstration code for the automated attendant application.
