Consent, Signature and Recording Retention in a Certified Communications System
First Claim
1. A method to obtain identity data from a user near an end of a telecommunications session adjunct to a recorded audio event during said telecommunications session by a communications station, said user operating a telecommunications enabled device communitively coupled via a telecommunications network to a communications station which recorded the intra-sessional audio event, said communications station having an interactive voice response module for effecting a delivery of audible instructions to said user operating said enabled device comprising:
- while keeping said telecommunications session active,if said user'"'"'s enabled device is text message enabled, requesting and receiving, at said communications station, identifying data unique to the user'"'"'s enabled device which identifying data differentiates said user'"'"'s enabled device from other telecommunications enabled devices;
if said user'"'"'s enabled device is not text message enabled, requesting and receiving, at said communications station, supplemental identifying data unique to another text message enabled telecommunications device of said user which supplemental identifying data differentiates the another text message enabled device from the plurality of other telecommunications enabled devices coupled to said telecommunications network;
if said user'"'"'s enabled device is not text message enabled and the user has no text message enabled device, requesting and receiving, at said communications station, the user'"'"'s email address;
based upon the receipt of identifying data for the user'"'"'s text message enabled device, sending a text message including recorded event identification data and a hyperlink to said communications station; and
,based upon the receipt of the user'"'"'s email address, sending an email to said user'"'"'s email address with text providing the recorded event identification data and the hyperlink to said communications station.

Abstract
System has consent, signature, recording and retention functions. Near post-sessional data acquisition gathers nominal comm device information from participants. Active online phones are sent a SMS with the recorded event ID, a hyperlink and password for system access. Otherwise, data is acquired for another text message enabled phone or user email. If disconnected, the user is called for additional data. A contractual relationship is established with these functions. With an ACK-consent upon system access, an ACK-consent by the parties, a RECORD ON command, and a recorded intent-to-contract, the system creates an enforceable contract by storing the ACKs and recorded session.
