VoIP Device Registration via Quasi-Registered Access Numbers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional methods for registering multiple VoIP devices in large organizations are complex and lead to network bottlenecks, resulting in low-quality performance due to the need for individual registration of each device, causing unnecessary overhead and 'bursty' network performance.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that uses a voice distribution server and integrated access device (IAD) with a customer profile to facilitate unified registration of multiple VoIP devices using quasi-registered access numbers, allowing for bulk registration and minimizing complexity and adverse network performance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If individual registration messages are sent for each VoIP device, then each device can be registered with specific identification information, but network performance deteriorates due to bottlenecks and bursty traffic
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple individual registration requests into a single bulk registration message. The IAD sends one unified registration message containing registration data for multiple VoIP devices (including discontiguous numerical identifiers) to the voice distribution server, eliminating the need for separate registration messages for each device and reducing network traffic bursts
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the registration data within the unified message by organizing device identification information (such as phone numbers and IP addresses) into structured formats like lists or tables, allowing the server to efficiently parse and process individual device registrations from the bulk message while maintaining overall registration efficiency
2Reliability
If traditional IAD registration methods are used for thousands of VoIP devices, then comprehensive device registration is achieved, but system complexity increases and overhead is unnecessary
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal registration mechanism where a single IAD can register multiple VoIP devices using one standardized message format. The voice distribution server handles bulk registration requests from any IAD, making the system multi-functional and adaptable to organizations of any size without requiring different registration approaches
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces the voice distribution server as an intermediary that mediates between the IAD and the VoIP network. The server receives bulk registration messages from the IAD, processes the registration data for multiple devices, and manages the registration state, thereby simplifying the overall registration process and reducing system complexity

AI summary
A calling network capable of accepting voice and data information includes a voice distribution server, wherein the voice distribution server is communicably coupled to an integrated access device, wherein the voice distribution server is associated with a computer readable medium, and wherein the computer readable medium includes a customer profile; and wherein the customer profile includes at least one registered access number associated with the integrated access device, and at least two quasi-registered access numbers associated with the integrated access device. A method for registering multiple voice communication devices in relation to a Voice Over IP network includes providing a voice distribution server communicably coupled to an integrated access device and is associated with a computer readable medium that includes a customer profile having at least one registered access number associated with the integrated access device, and at least two quasi-registered access numbers associated with the integrated access device. The method further includes registering the customer profile associated with the integrated access device, receiving a call directed to one of the quasi-registered access numbers, identifying a customer profile associated with the quasi-registered access number, accessing the identified customer profile, accessing an integrated access device identification from the customer profile, updating a destination field with the integrated access device identification, and routing the call, according to a routing preference indicated in the customer profile, to the integrated access device identified by the integrated access device identification.
