Abstract
A method is presented comprising transmitting, from an application computer communicably connected to a call controller which is connected to a data network, packetized messages indicative of telephone calls in progress at an endpoint of the data network, or indicative of such endpoint, and transmitting, from the call controller to the application computer, packetized messages indicative of a variety of information contained in, or relevant to, the telephone calls so as to process such information for a variety of applications. Apparatus to implement the method is also presented.
Claims26
A method comprising:
- transmitting, from an application computer arranged to execute computer telephony applications using call control information and connected to a data network to a gatekeeper connected to said data network, over said data network, packetized messages indicative of telephone calls in progress at an endpoint of said data network, or indicative of said endpoint, said application computer being located separately from said endpoint;
- and
- transmitting, from said gatekeeper to said application computer over said data network, packetized messages with information associated with said telephone calls, said information indicative of the length of said telephone calls.
A method comprising:
- transmitting, from an application computer arranged to execute computer telephony applications using call control information and connected to a data network to a gatekeeper connected to said data network, over said data network, packetized messages indicative of a telephone call or calls in progress at an endpoint of said data network, or indicative of said endpoint, said application computer being located separately from said endpoint;
- and
- transmitting, from said gatekeeper to said application computer over said data network, packetized messages indicative of the information associated with, or relevant to, said telephone calls.
A method comprising:
- transmitting, from an application computer arranged to execute computer telephony applications using call control information and communicably connected to a gatekeeper which is connected to a data network, packetized messages indicative of telephone calls in progress at an endpoint of said data network, or indicative of said endpoint;
- and
- transmitting, from said gatekeeper to said application computer, packetized messages indicative of the information associated with or contained in said telephone calls.
A method comprising:
- transmitting, from an application computer arranged to execute computer telephony applications using call control information and connected to a data network to a call controller connected to said data network, over said data network, packetized messages indicative of telephone calls in progress at an endpoint of said network, or indicative of said endpoint, said application computer being located separately from said endpoint;
- and
- transmitting, from said call controller to said application computer over said data network, packetized messages with information associated with said telephone calls, said information indicative of the length of said telephone calls.
A method comprising:
- transmitting, from an application computer arranged to execute computer telephony applications using call control information and connected to a data network to a call controller connected to said data network, over said data network, packetized messages indicative of telephone calls in progress at an endpoint of said data network, or indicative of said endpoint, said application computer being located separately from said endpoint;
- and
- transmitting, from said call controller to said application computer over said data network, packetized messages indicative of the information associated with or contained in said telephone calls.
A method comprising:
- transmitting, from an application computer arranged to execute computer telephony applications using call control information and communicably connected to a call controller which is connected to a data network, packetized messages indicative of telephone calls in progress at an endpoint of said data network, or indicative of said endpoint;
- and
- transmitting, from said call controller to said application computer, packetized messages indicative of the information contained in, or associated with, said telephone call.
An article comprising a computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon which when executed causes:
- transmission of, from an application computer arranged to execute computer telephony applications using call control information and communicably connected to a call controller which is connected to a data network, packetized messages indicative of telephone calls in progress at an endpoint of said data network, or indicative of said endpoint;
- and
- transmission of, from said call controller to said application computer, packetized messages indicative of the information contained in, or associated with, said telephone calls.
Apparatus, comprising:
- a call controller, able to allocate resources in a data network;
- at least two endpoints in said data network between which packetized telephone calls can take place;
- and
- an application computer arranged to execute computer telephony applications using call control information, communicably connected to said call controller, capable of issuing instructions to, and receiving information from, said call controller, indicative of information contained in and relating to said packetized telephone calls or relating to said endpoints.
