The states are entered into the state table memory by a state generator 68 during interaction with a voice applications writer. Each of the states includes at least an identification of the state, an identification of an action to be performed by the execution of the state and an identification of at least one state to be executed next upon a termination of the action. The apparatus further includes a state machine 60 for reading information expressive of a state from the state table memory and for invoking the identified action 66. The state machine includes an input for receiving a signal, or edge, from the invoked action indicative of a termination of the action and, responsive to the reception of the signal, determines the identification of a next state to be read and executed. Certain of the actions are actions which receive audio signals from or which transmit audio signals to a digital or an analog voice trunk coupled to a phone switching apparatus. | |
