Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, existing unified messaging systems often use software on the email client, which is often expensive from a support standpoint, or requires a direct connection to the email server hosting the client, which requires the system to have access to server and knows the user's password to synchronize web content and email infrastructure
Also, accessing email servers remains problematic in conventional network configurations due to network topology and security issues

Embodiment Construction

[0011] 1 through 3 (discussed below) and the various embodiments used to describe the principles of the invention in this patent document are for illustration purposes only and should not be taken as limiting the scope of the invention in any way. Those skilled in the art will understand that the principles of the invention may be implemented in any suitably arranged communication system.

[0012] FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a communication system 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention. As detailed below, the communication system 100 is operable to provide network synchronization for processing email messages without requiring additional software or user interaction on the email server. Accordingly, the communication system 100 may allow unified messaging to be utilized with any conventional email server without hosting email on a unified messaging platform.

[0013] The illustrated communication system 100 includes a network 102 , a unified messa...

Abstract

A method for providing network synchronization with a unified messaging system (104) is provided. The method includes receiving and storing (300) message data, such as voice data, for a specified recipient. An enhanced e-mail message is generated (302) for the recipient. The message, which is in hypertext mark-up language (HTML) format, includes the message data and a synchronization link that points to a web server (128). The message is sent (304) to the recipient through an e-mail server (108) corresponding to an e-mail client (110) associated with the recipient. When the client downloads the message from the server (108) and renders the HTML, the synchronization link is fetched. As a result, the web server (128) receives (306) a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) request from the client (110) based on the message and provides (308) network synchronization based on that HTTP request.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to communication systems, and more particularly to methods and systems for providing network synchronization with a unified messaging system. Background technique [0002] As the need for simplified communication increases, a unified messaging system has been developed and implemented to streamline the messaging system. For example, some unified messaging systems allow voicemail, fax, and email to be combined so that a user can receive all of these types of communications through a single application. [0003] However, existing unified messaging systems often use software on the email client, which is often expensive from a support standpoint, or requires a direct connection to the email server hosting the client, which requires the system to have access to The server also knows the user's password to synchronize web content and email infrastructure. Additionally, accessing email servers remains problematic in ...
