Method, apparatus and system for implementing login of ip telephone number

A method for implementing login of an Internet Protocol (IP) telephone number, the method comprising:

• when an IP telephone detects that an Ethernet port of the IP telephone is connected to a personal computer (PC), sending a neighbor discovery protocol message of a data link layer to the PC, so that when the PC determines that a communication client is running on the PC, the PC transmits the neighbor discovery protocol message to the communication client, wherein the neighbor discovery protocol message comprises an IP address and a port number of the IP telephone;
• receiving, by the IP telephone, an IP telephone number associated with the communication account and sent by the communication client according to the IP address and the port number of the IP telephone when the communication client determines that the communication client has used a communication account to log in to a communication server;
• and
• using, by the IP telephone, the IP telephone number to execute a login operation.

A communication apparatus, comprising:

• a receiving unit, a login unit, an obtaining unit and a sending unit, wherein:
• the receiving unit is configured to receive a neighbor discovery protocol message of a data link layer sent by an IP telephone, wherein the neighbor discovery protocol message comprises an IP address and a port number of the IP telephone;
• the login unit is configured to use a communication account to log in to a communication server;
• the obtaining unit is configured to:
• when the receiving unit receives the neighbor discovery protocol message, and determines that the login unit has used the communication account to log in to the communication server, obtain, from the communication server, an IP telephone number associated with the communication account, and transmit the IP telephone number to the sending unit;
• and
• the sending unit is configured to receive the IP telephone number from the obtaining unit, and send the IP telephone number to the IP telephone according to the IP address and the port number of the IP telephone, so that the IP telephone uses the IP telephone number to execute a login operation.

An Internet Protocol (IP) telephone, comprising:

• a detection unit, a sending unit, a receiving unit and a login unit, wherein:
• the detection unit is configured to detect whether an Ethernet port of the IP telephone is connected to a personal computer (PC), and transmit a detection result to the sending unit;
• the sending unit is configured to receive the detection result sent by the detection unit, and when the detection result is that the Ethernet port of the IP telephone is connected to the PC, send a neighbor discovery protocol message of a data link layer to the PC, so that when it is determined that a communication client is running on the PC, the PC transmits the neighbor discovery protocol message to the communication client, wherein the neighbor discovery protocol message comprises an IP address and a port number of the IP telephone;
• the receiving unit is configured to receive an IP telephone number associated with the communication account and sent by the communication client according to the IP address and the port number of the IP telephone when the communication client determines that the communication client has used a communication account to log in to a communication server;
• and
• the login unit is configured to receive the IP telephone number from the receiving unit, and use the IP telephone number to execute a login operation.

A communication system, comprising:

• an Internet Protocol (IP) telephone, a communication client and a communication server, and wherein:
• the IP telephone is connected, through an Ethernet port, to a personal computer (PC) where the communication client is located;
• the IP telephone is configured to:
• when it is detected that the Ethernet port of the IP telephone is connected to the PC, send a neighbor discovery protocol message of a data link layer to the PC, so that the PC, when determining that the communication client is running, transmits the neighbor discovery protocol message to the communication client, wherein the neighbor discovery protocol message comprises an IP address and a port number of the IP telephone;
• receive an IP telephone number associated with the communication account and sent by the communication client according to the IP address and the port number of the IP telephone when the communication client determines that the communication client has used a communication account to log in to a communication server;
• and use the IP telephone number to execute a login operation;
• the communication client is configured to receive the neighbor discovery protocol message;
• when determining that the communication client has used the communication account to log in to the communication server, obtain, from the communication server, the IP telephone number associated with the communication account;
• and send the IP telephone number to the IP telephone according to the IP address and the port number of the IP telephone;
• and
• the communication server is configured to send the IP telephone number associated with the communication account to the communication client.
