21、ernational Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular
22、fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established
23、 a joint technical committee, ISO/IECJTC1. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least75% of the national bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISO/
24、IEC13714 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC18, Document processing and related communication. Annex A and Annex B of this International Standard are for information only.ISO/IEC13714:1995(E) BSI 09-1999 1 Introduction Voice messaging syste
25、ms allow telephone users to leave recorded messages for people who are unable to answer their telephone, either because they are absent or busy, or because they are currently engaged on another telephone call. This is commonly referred to as call answering. Voice messaging systems can also allow use
26、rs to send voice messages directly, without accessing call answering. Voice messaging systems are increasingly available and accessed from homes and offices, as well as from public and mobile telephones. With callers leaving messages on many different systems and subscribers increasingly likely to h
27、ave mailboxes on more than one system, there is a need for users to have a common interface for the basic features of voice messaging systems. Experience has shown that consistent and predictable human interfaces benefit users. Benefits can include faster learning, greater productivity, and greater
28、satisfaction. Consistent human interfaces can also benefit an industry by promoting greater acceptance for products and services. The DTMF interface provides a highly restricted user interface, as there areonly12 different keys available for input, and output is via an audio channel, whose performan
29、ce is constrained by speed and users limited short-term memory capabilities. For these reasons, users are particularly likely to benefit from common user interface features both within and across different voice messaging systems they encounter, as they can learn a common set of input and output pro
30、tocols, which will maximise the efficiency and usability of these interfaces. This International Standard includes only some of the features in DTMF-controlled systems used for voice messaging (see clauses5, 6, 7, 8, and9, following) but, as described later in this International Standard (see clause
31、1 and Figure 1) there exist large areas of commonality with important functions in other telephone-based (i.e., interactive voice response) systems and services. Many of the user interface features specified in this International Standard will be usable for and implemented in other interactive voice
32、 response applications. Annex B of this standard summarises the subset of the telephone user interface features described in the body of this standard that are generally applicable in DTMF-controlled telephone-based interfaces beyond voice messaging. 1 Scope This International Standard will provide
33、users of voice messaging systems with a consistent mode of interaction in a way that is independent of the underlying system implementations. The interface is based on a set of design guidelines annexed to this International Standard. The interface supports the ability of all users described in the
34、user-system model (see Figure 2) to access the features of voice messaging systems. In a call answering application, the interface allows callers to leave messages from all types of telephones. It also allows callers to access additional features through the use of DTMF devices. In the voice mail ap
35、plication, through the use of DTMF devices, the interface allows subscribers to send and receive voice messages, and to manage stored data, and allows non-subscribers to leave voice messages for subscribers. This International Standard addresses the following six functional areas: a caller leaving a
36、 voice message, when the call is answered by a voice messaging system call answering facility; a caller leaving a voice message, when a message is sent to a subscriber by a subscriber or non-subscriber through direct messaging; a subscriber listening to and processing voice messages received; a subs
37、criber creating and sending voice messages through the voice mail application; the sending and receiving of messages via voice message delivery applications; and the use of voice bulletin boards. Within these functional areas, only certain features are defined in this International Standard. However
38、, standard-conforming systems are not limited to these functions and features, and this International Standard does not preclude alternative methods of invoking features specified in this International Standard, providing that these alternatives do not conflict with the standard interface specified
39、for other features covered in this International Standard. In this International Standard, the direct messaging functional area is covered in the clause specifying the call answering application.ISO/IEC13714:1995(E) 2 BSI 09-1999 In addition, this International Standard specifies two requirements to
40、 be satisfied in all voice messaging contexts, not just the application contexts specified earlier in this clause: the use of # as a delimiter (see5.6.1), and the access to and presence of the control menu (see5.6.2) and its associated functionality. This International Standard does not address the
41、user/system interface for administrators, who have responsibility for the management and maintenance of the voice messaging system. This International Standard also does not address the proactive method, if any, employed by a voice messaging system to notify a user that a voice mailbox contains a me
42、ssage. Notification is, at present, typically achieved by a message waiting light, a distinctive dial-tone, or a pager device. This International Standard does not specify a non-DTMF user interface for Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) terminal access to voice messaging applications; howeve
43、r, if a users ISDN terminal or switching equipment has the capability for full simulation of DTMF tones after call connection, the user interface specified in this International Standard will operate a conforming voice messaging system. Figure 1 shows a taxonomy of telephone-based services, with sha
44、ded boxes indicating the services within the scope of this International Standard: Figure 1 Taxonomy of telephone-based servicesISO/IEC13714:1995(E) BSI 09-1999 3 Figure 2 shows a user/system model of the scope of this International Standard: 2 Conformance The user interface to a conforming voice me
45、ssaging system shall conform to clause5. Additionally, the user interface to a conforming call answering application shall conform to clause6; the user interface to a conforming voice mail application shall conform to clause7; the user interface to a conforming voice bulletin board application shall
46、 conform to clause8; and the user interface to a conforming voice message delivery application shall conform to clause9. The only requirement for conformance with respect to callers using non-DTMF telephones is as specified in6.1. A conforming system may also provide one or more additional, alternat
47、ive user interfaces which are inconsistent with any or all of clauses5, 7, 8, and9, but only to logged-in subscribers who have chosen that alternative interface. The interface specified in this International Standard shall be the default configuration of the system when supplied. A voice messaging s
48、ystem in which the call answering application conforms to clauses5 & 6, but in which the other voice messaging applications covered by the scope of this International Standard do not conform may be described as having a conforming call answering application. Throughout clauses5, 6, 7, 8, and9, the f
49、ollowing conventions are used to indicate levels of conformance required of compliant systems: Figure 2 The user/system model of this International Standard Mandatory/reserved: Conforming systems shall have this function/feature and the function/feature shall be accessible in (at least) the way specified. Optional/reserved: Conforming systems may or may not have this function/feature. If the function/feature is offered, it shall be accessible in (at least) the way specif
