1. A call notification system, comprising:
- an originating system implemented in at least one of firmware, hardware and software and being arranged to cause initiation data for each of a plurality of calls to be transmitted to a recipient system; and
the recipient system being arranged to generate a call notification in response to receipt of the initiation data from the originating system, and arranged to receive call notification data from the originating system and provide, prior to the establishment of a communication phase for the call, feedback data to the originating system on the status of the call notification for each of the plurality of calls, the feedback data including an indication to the originating system of receipt of the call notification data by the recipient system for a first portion of the calls in which the recipient system received the call notification data, and an indication to the originating system of non-receipt of the call notification data by the recipient system for a second portion of the calls in which the recipient system did not receive the call notification data,wherein at least aspects of the call notification are controllable by the originating system and are operative to override one or more selected functions of the recipient system with respect to the call notification.

11. A method of generating call notifications for each of a plurality of calls, the method comprising for each of the plurality of calls the steps of:
-
receiving initiation data on the call from an originating system at a recipient system; generating a call notification at the recipient system; obtaining the call notification data from the originating system; overriding one or more selected functions of the recipient system with respect to the call notification, wherein at least aspects of the call notification are controllable by the originating system, and, providing, prior to the establishment of a communication phase for the call, feedback data on the status of the call notification to the originating system, wherein for each of the plurality of calls in which the call notification is received by the recipient system the step of providing feedback data includes providing an indication to the originating system of the call of receipt of the call notification data by the recipient system, and for each of the plurality of calls in which the recipient data is not received by the recipient system the step of providing feedback data includes providing an indication to the originating system of the call of non-receipt of the call notification data. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A call notification system comprising:
-
call notification data for use in generating a call notification; an originating system at which a call is originated, the originating system being implemented in at least one of firmware, hardware and software and being configured to initiate the call by causing initiation data to be transmitted to a recipient system at which the call is received; the recipient system being configured to, in response to receipt of the initiation data on the call; generate the call notification in dependence on the call notification data; have at least aspects of the call notification at the recipient system controllable by the originating system; provide, prior to the establishment of a communication phase for the call, feedback data on a status of the call notification to the originating system, the feedback data including at least an indication to the originating system of non-receipt of the call notification data by the recipient system for the call in which the recipient system did not receive the call notification data; and have one or more selected functions overridden with respect to the call notification. - View Dependent Claims (21)
