Telephonic communication redirection and compliance processing
First Claim
1. A method of processing a communication, comprising:
- receiving from a first communication participant a request to establish communication;
mapping a first identifier associated with the request to a second identifier associated with a second communication participant;
using the second identifier to establish communication between the first communication participant and the second communication participant in a manner that allows at least a portion of the communication between the first and second communication participants to be monitored; and
performing compliance processing with respect to at least a portion of said at least a portion of the communication between first communication participant and the second communication participant;
wherein the first identifier is made available to the first communication participant in a manner that causes the first communication participant to associate the first identifier with the second communication participant, the first identifier cannot be used to reach the second communication participant directly, and the second identifier is not provided to the first communication participant.

Abstract
Processing telephonic communication is disclosed. A request to establish communication is received from a first communication participant. A first identifier associated with the request is mapped to a second identifier associated with a second communication participant. The second identifier is used to establish communication between the first and the second participant in a manner that allows at least a portion of the communication between the first and second participants to be monitored. Compliance processing is performed with respect to at least a portion of said at least a portion of the communication between first and the second participant. The first identifier is made available to the first participant in a manner that causes the first participant to associated the first identifier with the second participant, the first identifier cannot be used to reach the second participant directly, and the second identifier is not provided to the first participant.

32. A system for compliance processing, comprising;
-
a first communication interface configured to receive from a communication participant in connection with a first call an identifier of an intended destination with which the communication participant wants to establish communication;
a second communication interface configured to establish a second call to the intended destination; and
a processor configured to conference the first and second calls together and perform compliance processing with respect to at least a portion of a communication between the communication participant and the intended destination via the conference call.

using the second identifier to establish communication between the first communication participant and the second communication participant in a manner that allows at least a portion of the communication between the first and second communication participants to be monitored; and
performing compliance processing with respect to at least a portion of said at least a portion of the communication between first communication participant and the second communication participant;
wherein the first identifier is made available to the first communication participant in a manner that causes the first communication participant to associated the first identifier with the second communication participant, the first identifier cannot be used to reach the second communication participant directly, and the second identifier is not provided to the first communication participant.
