Multi-channel digital recording system and method using network
First Claim
1. A method for recording telephone conversation contents between a plurality of advisers and a plurality of customers in a multi-channel digital recording system using a network, said system including a plurality of adviser telephones, a plurality of adviser personal computers (PCs) connected respectively with said adviser telephones, a telephone conversation contents recording server connected with said adviser PCs over said network, and a PABX (Private Automatic Branch exchange) for relaying calls between said adviser telephones and a telephone network, said method comprising the steps of:
- a) allowing said PABX to connect a call between an arbitrary customer telephone and an arbitrary one of said adviser telephones if said arbitrary customer telephone is connected to said PABX over said telephone network;
b) allowing said arbitrary adviser telephone to transfer contents of a telephone conversation with an arbitrary one of said customers corresponding to said arbitrary customer telephone to an arbitrary one of said adviser PCs corresponding to said arbitrary adviser telephone in the form of an analog voice signal;
c) allowing said arbitrary adviser PC to convert said analog voice signal transferred from said arbitrary adviser telephone into a digital voice signal, convert the converted digital voice signal into computer-readable audio data through a predetermined compression process and transfer the converted audio data to said telephone conversation contents recording server on a real time basis; and
d) allowing said conversation contents recording server to record said audio data transferred from said arbitrary adviser PC.

Abstract
A multi-channel digital recording system and method using a network, which can record and monitor telephone conversation contents on a real time basis over a multiplicity of traffic channels using network environments. The method comprises the step of allowing a PABX to connect a call between an arbitrary customer telephone and an arbitrary adviser telephone if the arbitrary customer telephone is connected to the PABX over a PSTN or VOIP-based telephone network, the step of allowing the arbitrary adviser telephone to transfer contents of a telephone conversation with an arbitrary customer corresponding to the arbitrary customer telephone to an arbitrary adviser PC corresponding to the arbitrary adviser telephone in the form of an analog voice signal, the step of allowing the arbitrary adviser PC to convert the analog voice signal transferred from the arbitrary adviser telephone into a digital voice signal, convert the converted digital voice signal into computer-readable audio data through a predetermined compression process and transfer the converted audio data to a telephone conversation contents recording server on a real time basis, and the step of allowing the conversation contents recording server to record the audio data transferred from the arbitrary adviser PC.

8. A method for recording telephone conversation contents between a plurality of advisers and a plurality of customers in a multi-channel digital recording system using a network, said system including a plurality of adviser telephones, a plurality of adviser personal computers (PCs) connected respectively with said adviser telephones, a telephone conversation contents recording server connected with said adviser PCs over said network, and a PABX (Private Automatic Branch eXchange) for relaying calls between said adviser telephones and a telephone network, said method comprising the steps of:
-
a) prestoring a plurality of selection menus in said PABX in the form of voice guidance messages and setting in each of said adviser PCs a recording condition for selective execution of telephone conversation contents recording according to advice menus;
b) allowing said PABX to send a guidance message to an arbitrary customer telephone to request an arbitrary one of said customers corresponding to said arbitrary customer telephone to select one of said advice menus, if said arbitrary customer telephone is connected to said PABX over said telephone network;
c) allowing said PABX to, if one of said advice menus is selected by said arbitrary customer and a DTMF signal corresponding thereto is inputted from said customer telephone, connect a call between said customer telephone and an arbitrary one of said adviser telephones, identify the inputted DTMF signal and notify an arbitrary one of said adviser PCs corresponding to said arbitrary adviser telephone of the selected advice menu;
d) allowing said arbitrary adviser telephone to transfer contents of a telephone conversation with said arbitrary customer to said arbitrary adviser PC in the form of an analog voice signal;
e) allowing said arbitrary adviser PC to, if said notified advice menu corresponds to said set recording condition, convert said analog voice signal transferred from said arbitrary adviser telephone into a digital voice signal, convert the converted digital voice signal into computer-readable audio data through a predetermined compression process and transfer the converted audio data to said telephone conversation contents recording server on a real time basis; and
f) allowing said conversation contents recording server to record said audio data transferred from said arbitrary adviser PC. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A multi-channel digital recording system for recording telephone conversation contents over a plurality of traffic channels using network environments, comprising:
-
a PABX for controlling call connections for a plurality of customer telephones connected thereto over a telephone network;
a plurality of adviser telephones connected with said customer telephones via said PABX, said adviser telephones outputting contents of telephone conversations with said customer telephones in the form of analog voice signals;
a plurality of interface modules connected respectively with said adviser telephones, said interface modules interfacing said analog voice signals from said adviser telephones, respectively;
a plurality of adviser PCs connected respectively with said interface modules, said adviser PCs converting said analog voice signals provided from said interface modules into digital voice signals and compressing the converted digital voice signals into computer-readable audio data, respectively; and
a telephone conversation contents recording server connected with said adviser PCs via a local area network (LAN), said recording server recording said audio data from said adviser PCs. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
