Communication system

Abstract

A method of transmitting a communication event from a calling entity to a called entity located in a communication network comprising a first network and a second network, said method comprising the steps of: determining a first identity associated with the called entity, wherein the first identity is recognisable in the first network; allocating a calling identity to the called entity, wherein the allocated identity is recognisable in the second network; associating at a first node located in the first network the first identity with the -calling identity; providing the calling identity to the calling entity; establishing a connection with a second network node located in the second network; wherein the connection with the second network node is established using the calling identity, querying the first node with the calling identity associated with the called entity to determine the first identity associated with the called entity; transmitting the communication event to the called entity using the first identity associated with the called entity; and disassociating the calling identity from the called entity after step of querying the first node to determine the first identity associated with the called entity.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for handling communications in a communications system. Background technique [0002] A communication system links two communication devices together so that the devices can send information to each other during a call or other communication event. The information may include voice, text, images or video. [0003] One such communication system is a peer-to-peer system in which a plurality of end users can connect for communication purposes via a communication structure such as the Internet. The communication structure is basically decentralized with regard to the communication routes in which the exchange takes place in order to connect the end users. That is, end users are able to establish their own communication routes through the structure to gain access to the structure based on the exchange of one or more authorization credentials (User Identity Certificate - UIC). The structure includes management means for i...

Problems solved by technology

[0007]One disadvantage of this configuration is that if the user of the device in the PSTN network has registered to have a PSTN number, the device can only make calls to devices connected to the Internet call

Another disadvantage of this configuration is that if the user in the PSTN network knows the PSTN number registered to the Internet user, the user in the PSTN network can only call the user connected to the Internet even if the Internet user is already registered and thus has a PSTN number
