Abstract
Systems and methods of making calls are provided. A particular method includes receiving input indicating a destination address at a mobile communication device. The method also includes determining whether the destination address is of a predetermined type. The method further includes initiating a call to a communication bridge via a mobile communication network when the destination address is of the predetermined type. The method also includes sending an instruction to the communication bridge to initiate a communication connection to the destination address.
Claims24
A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a mobile communication device, input indicating a destination address;
- determining whether the destination address is of a predetermined type;
- and
- when the destination address is of the predetermined type, initiating a call to a communication bridge via a mobile communication network and sending an instruction to the communication bridge to initiate a communication connection to the destination address.
A processor-readable medium, comprising:
- instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to receive input indicating a destination address;
- instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to determine whether the destination address is of a predetermined type;
- instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to initiate a call to a communication bridge via a mobile communication network when the destination address is of the predetermined type;
- and
- instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to send an instruction to the communication bridge to initiate a communication to the destination address.
A mobile communication device, comprising:
- an input device to receive input indicating a destination communication address;
- an address analysis module to determine whether the destination communication address is of a predetermined type;
- and
- a call module to initiate a call to a communication bridge when the destination communication address is of the predetermined type and to send an instruction to the communication bridge to initiate a communication connection to the destination communication address.
A system, comprising:
- an access interface to receive a call to a telephony address associated with the access interface, wherein the call is initiated by a mobile communication device in response to an automatic determination at the mobile communication device to route the call via the access interface based on a destination communication address received at the mobile communication device;
- and
- a communication bridge to initiate a communication to the destination communication address and to convert data received via the call to an alternate communication protocol for communication to the destination communication address.
