Abstract
Subscriber information is provided in a Voice over IP (VoIP) system by transmitting multimedia data (e.g., graphics data or image data) depending on Caller Identification (CID) information of respective IP terminals connected to the VoIP system to a called IP terminal, or to broadcast multimedia data to the respective IP terminals belonging to each group in response to a subscriber's request while managing address information of the respective IP terminals.
Claims17
A Voice over IP (VoIP) system comprising:
- a service providing server adapted to register a relevant terminal with a subscriber information providing service and to provide data corresponding to subscriber information upon receiving a request for the subscriber information providing service;
- and
- at least one terminal adapted to transmit a service request message to the service providing server to request registering the terminal with the subscriber information providing service, to store the data provided from the service providing server, and to generate a subscriber information message containing the stored data and to transmit the generated subscriber information message to a called terminal upon generating a call request message in response to a subscriber's selection.
A Voice over IP (VoIP) system comprising:
- at least one terminal adapted to transmit a subscriber information message containing service request information to a service providing server upon generating a call request message while registering the terminal with a subscriber information providing service;
- wherein the service providing server is adapted to manage data depending on unique information of each terminal, and the service providing server is adapted to add the data depending on the unique information of the terminal to the subscriber information message and to transmit the resultant message to a called terminal upon the subscriber information message received from the terminal containing the service request information.
A Voice over IP (VoIP) terminal comprising:
- a storage unit adapted to store data provided from the service providing server;
- and
- a call processor adapted to transmit a registration request message to the service providing server in response to a subscriber's selection and to then transmit a data request message, and to generate a subscriber information message containing the data stored in the storage unit and to transmit the generated subscriber information message to a called terminal upon generating a call request message.
A method comprising:
- providing a Voice over IP (VoIP) system including at least one terminal and a server;
- transmitting a request message from each of the at least one terminals to the server to request registration of the terminal with a subscriber information providing service;
- registering the terminal with the service in response to the received request message and then providing data corresponding to subscriber information to the terminal, the server registering the terminal and then providing data;
- transmitting a subscriber information message containing the data provided from the server to a called terminal upon generating a call request message in response to a subscriber's selection, the subscriber information message being transmitted by the server;
- and
- outputting multimedia information depending on the data contained in the received subscriber information message, the multimedia information being outputted by the terminal.
A method comprising:
- providing subscriber information in a Voice over IP (VoIP) system including at least one terminal and a server;
- registering data depending on unique information of each of the terminals upon receiving a registration request message from each terminal, the data being registered by the server;
- recognizing unique information contained in the subscriber information message upon receiving a subscriber information message containing service request information from each terminal;
- and
- adding data depending on the recognized unique information to the subscriber information message to transmit the resultant message to a called terminal.
