Voice over IP method for developing interactive voice response system
First Claim
1. A personal interactive voice response service node, comprising:
- a memory that stores executable instructions; and
a processor that executes the executable instructions,wherein, the personal interactive voice response service node accepts personalized instructions from an individual to define interactive voice response service node prompts for a communications address to which communications are answered by the personal interactive voice response service node;
wherein the personal interactive voice response service node accepts personalized instructions from an individual via voice or keypad input to map actions to correspond to selections of interactive voice response service node prompts, andwhen executed by the processor, the executable instructions cause the personal interactive voice response service node to identify a selection of an interactive voice response service node prompt and execute an action associated with the selection identified,wherein voice communications to and from the personal interactive voice response service node are packetized in data packets and transmitted over the internet through a network server that coordinates communications for a plurality of personal interactive voice response service nodes.

Abstract
A personal interactive voice response service node includes a memory that stores executable instructions, and a processor that executes the executable instructions. The personal interactive voice response service node accepts personalized instructions to define interactive voice response service node prompts on behalf of an individual assigned a communications address serviced by the personal interactive voice response service node. The personal interactive voice response service node accepts personalized instructions to define actions to take in response to selections of corresponding interactive voice response service node prompts. When executed by the processor, the executable instructions cause the personal interactive voice response service node to identify a selection of an interactive voice response service node prompt and execute an action associated with the selection identified.
