Abstract

A device, system and method for communicating between devices using two protocols is provided. A request is received from a first device to communicate with a second device. A dedicated client operates according to a first protocol. A call server is operated according to a second protocol. An identifier is provided to the second device for requesting a web application for conducting a call via the call server, the identifier associated with the first and second device. A request, including the identifier is received and the web application is provided to the second device. A first call is set up between the dedicated client and a respective dedicated client. A second call is set up between the call server and the web application at the second device. The first call and the second call are connected to conduct an end-to-end call between the first and second device.

Dependent claims

A server comprising:

a communication unit;
and
a controller communicatively coupled to the communication unit, the controller configured to:
receive, via the communication unit, from a first device, a first request to communicate with a second device;
allocate a dedicated client operating according to a first protocol;
operate a call server according to a second protocol;
generate and provide, via the communication unit, to the second device, an identifier for requesting a web application for conducting a call via the call server using the second protocol, the identifier associated with the first device and the second device;
receive, via the communication unit, from the second device, a second request, including the identifier, for the web application;
provide, via the communication unit, to the second device, the web application;
set up a first call between the dedicated client and a respective dedicated client at the first device using the first protocol;
set up a second call between the call server and the web application at the second device using the second protocol;
and
connect the first call and the second call between the dedicated client and the call server, to conduct an end-to-end call between the first device and the second device.

A method comprising:

receiving, at a controller, via a communication unit, from a first device, a first request to communicate with a second device;
allocating, using the controller, a dedicated client operating according to a first protocol;
operating, using the controller, a call server according to a second protocol;
generating, using the controller, and providing, via the communication unit, to the second device, an identifier for requesting a web application for conducting a call via the call server using the second protocol, the identifier associated with the first device and the second device;
receiving, at the controller, via the communication unit, from the second device, a second request, including the identifier, for the web application;
providing, using the controller, via the communication unit, to the second device, the web application;
setting up, using the controller, a first call between the dedicated client and a respective dedicated client at the first device using the first protocol;
setting up, using the controller, a second call between the call server and the web application at the second device using the second protocol;
and
connecting, using the controller, the first call and the second call between the dedicated client and the call server, to conduct an end-to-end call between the first device and the second device.
