A system D interfaces with a multiplicity of individual terminals Tl-Tn of a telephone network facility C, at the terminals callers are prompted by voice-generated instructions to provide digital data that is identified for positive association with a caller and is stored for processing. The caller\s identification data is confirmed using various techniques and callers may be ranked and accounted for on the basis of entitlement, sequence or demographics. Callers are assigned random designations that are stored along with statistical and identification data. A break-off control circuit may terminate the computer interface aborting to a terminal for direct communication with an operator. Real-time operation processing is an alternative to stored data. The accumulation of stored data (statistical, calling order sequence, etc.) is variously processed and correlated as with developed or established data to isolate a select group or subset of callers who can be readily identified and reliably confirmed. Different program formats variously control the processing of statistical data as for auction sales, contents, lotteries, polls, commercials and so on.

A statistical analysis system for use with a communication facility including remote terminal apparatus for individual callers, wherein said remote terminal apparatus may comprise a conventional telephone instrument including voice communication means, and digital input means in the form of an array

A statistical analysis system for use with a communication facility including remote terminal apparatus for individual callers, wherein said remote terminal apparatus may comprise a conventional telephone instrument including voice communication means, and digital input means in the form of an array of alphabetic numeric buttons for providing identification and statistical data, said control system comprising: interface means coupled to said communication facility to interface said terminal apparatus for voice and digital communication and including means to provide signal values from data developed by said terminal apparatus said interface means further including a consumable key test means to qualify callers with respect to limited use; voice generator means coupled through said interface means for actuating said terminal apparatus as to provide vocal operating instructions to an individual caller; and means connected to said interface means for processing said statistical data as to isolate a subset of said individual callers.
