VOIP Addressing Method for Landline Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current VOIP solutions, such as Skype and Cisco-VOIP/Cisco-IPT, are costly and restrictive, limiting free calling primarily to headquarters and branch companies, and do not allow cross-dialing between software telephones and landline phones, making them unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.
Innovation Solution
A method that allows real-time VOIP calls by customizing digits as separators for addressing, enabling free dialing between landline phones and integrating video conferencing and fax services, with a distributed server architecture to reduce costs and support independent enterprises.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional telephone system is used, then call reliability is ensured, but call cost increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary addressing system that translates between traditional telephone numbers and VOIP addresses. This mediator enables seamless communication between traditional phones and softend phones without requiring users to directly use VOIP protocols, thus maintaining call reliability while reducing costs through VOIP infrastructure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical telephone network infrastructure with a software-based VOIP system. By substituting physical telephone switching with software-based call routing and using internet protocols for voice transmission, the system maintains communication reliability while dramatically reducing call costs.
2Loss of energy
If Skype is used for software telephone calling, then call cost is reduced, but cross-dialing between software telephone and landline phone is not available
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal addressing system that works across multiple communication platforms. The addressing mechanism can handle both traditional telephone numbers and VOIP addresses, enabling a single system to support landline-to-landline, softend-to-softend, and cross-platform calling, thus achieving multi-functionality and broad adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an addressing conversion mechanism that acts as an intermediary between different communication systems. This converter translates addresses between traditional telephone networks and VOIP networks, enabling seamless cross-dialing between landline phones and softend phones while maintaining cost efficiency.
3Loss of energy
If Cisco-VOIP solution is implemented, then free cross-dialing between landline phones is achieved, but device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the core functionality of VOIP addressing and routing from complex hardware systems and implements it as a software-based addressing conversion mechanism. By separating the addressing function from the hardware infrastructure, the system achieves free cross-dialing between landline phones without requiring complex PBX systems or specialized voice interface cards.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses software-based address translation that copies and adapts the addressing mechanism from traditional telephony to VOIP systems. This software copying approach eliminates the need for expensive hardware infrastructure while maintaining the same calling functionality.
4Loss of energy
If unified routing planning is required for free cross-dialing, then call cost is reduced, but adaptability to independent enterprises is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the addressing system into independent components that can operate autonomously. Each enterprise can maintain its own address translation rules and routing preferences, allowing independent enterprises to achieve free cross-dialing without requiring unified top-down routing planning. The system supports decentralized address management while maintaining overall network connectivity.

AI summary
The invention discloses a method of real-time VOIP call, characterized by comprising the following steps: a) a user dials a landline phone and establishes a connection with a service terminal; b) the service terminal resolves a further dialing of the user, corresponds dialing information with an addressing address stored in the service terminal of the calling user, wherein the addressing address comprises a destination user name, a separator and a destination address; c) the service terminal of the calling user resolves information of the destination user name and sends it to a service terminal of the destination address; d) the service terminal of the destination address resolves the received information of the destination user name, and finds the information of the destination user name stored in the service terminal of the destination address, and then the service terminal of the destination address further finds a phone number of the destination user internally stored in the service terminal of the destination address; e) the service terminal of the destination address initiates a call request to the destination user; f) a calling connection is established. This method can achieve video conference and fax in the same way as the existing internet phone, and moreover, it is completely free of charge.
