Remote notification of communications
First Claim
1. A remote call notification system, comprising:
- a switch operable for detecting an incoming communication on a communications link to a subscriber'"'"'s wireline communication device, wherein the switch is in communication with the wireline communication device by the communications link;
a network element in communication with the switch operable for monitoring the status of the incoming communication;
an intelligent server in communication with the network element operable for originating a remote call notification, the remote call notification sent to a remote communications device upon detection of the incoming communication, wherein the remote call notification comprises;
a first time identifier that provides the time that the incoming communication is first detected, anda priority identifier that indicates the importance of the incoming communication; and
a monitoring module in communication with the intelligent server operable for monitoring traffic in a communications network of voice-mail platforms that serve the intelligent server service area;
wherein the intelligent server provides administrative functions for the subscriber, the administrative functions including disabling types of remote call notifications to be sent to the remote communications device, the disabling of types of remote call notifications being overridden in the event that a call is from a priority number.

Abstract
A remote call notification system for incoming calls to a wireline telecommunications device. The system includes a switch, a service control point, an intelligent server, and a monitoring module all in communication with each other. The remote call notification is transmitted to a remote communication device such as a PC, an interactive pager, and a mobile phone. The call notification includes a calling number, the name of a calling party, time and date identifiers, status identifiers that provides a real-time status of the incoming communication, a disposition identifier, and a priority identifier. A remote call notification method including detecting an incoming communication to a subscriber'"'"'s wireline communication device, creating a remote call notification, assigning an access address associated with a remote communication device, and forwarding the remote call notification to the remote communication device.
