points to Hou for teaching the initiation of a first call by
way of a subscriber requesting a response. The Examiner
points to col. 3, lines 35-37. The Examiner argues that Hou
teaches initiating a second call in the network facility for
performing speech recognition as system 100, in response to
call home, places an outgoing call. The Examiner directs us
to col. 3, lines 36-40. Finally, the Examiner argues that Hou
teaches bridging the first and second calls as system 100
causes switch 10 to interconnect the outgoing call with the
subscriber's incoming call. The Examiner directs us to col.
3, lines 37-42.
Upon our review of Hou, we find that Hou teaches in col.
3, lines 24-42 that a subscriber may define a number of voice
identified calling labels and associate the labels with
respective telephone numbers. For example, the subscriber may
associate the label call home with the subscriber's home

the subscriber needs to do to respond to a particular system
