Software platform for data-voice applications operating on an internet protocol (IP) phone

Abstract

A software platform in an Internet Protocol (IP) phone having the ability to be used with different communication infrastructures such as broadband, wireless communication and Plain Old Telephone System (POTS) service. Further, the software platform in the IP phone is used in conjunction with a communication architecture, referred to herein as the Transaction Applications Delivery Services (TADS) communications architecture, that provides the ability to develop, deliver and manage data-voice applications operating on the IP phone.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of Internet telephone systems, and in particular to a software platform for the development, delivery and management of data voice applications operating on the Internet Protocol ("IP"). Background technique [0002] Recently, multimedia communications in which voice, video, and data information are transmitted and received using Internet Protocol (IP) are transmitted through an IP network. The phone mentioned here is used as an "IP phone", or more generally an "aggregated communication terminal". The phone can be directly connected to an IP network on which a multimedia phone switching system can be built. An IP phone is a type of phone, either via a plain old telephone system (POTS) or via an IP network, an IP phone can operate and perform voice communication in the same way as a traditional phone. In addition, IP phones can use IP networks for data applications. For example, an IP phone can be connected to an IP...

Problems solved by technology

By having to design and implement a separate VoIP platform for each application that operates on the IP phone, the cost of operating different applications on the IP phone can be prevented

[0004] In addition, current service providers (referring to providers of communication services for IP phones to operate) and content providers (referring to providers of data-voice applications operating on IP phones) Data-Voice applications that operate on the
