Abstract
The present invention provides a data device to speech service bridge. The bridge allows packet-based devices, such as, for example, the PDA and 2.5/3G cellular phone, to access voice services.
Claims14
A data device to speech service bridge for connecting a packet enabled device with a telephony resource, comprising:
- a data device communicator having at least one access port to receive requests for data from and transmit the requested data to a browser executing on a packet enabled device, the received data including a command for access to at least one resource necessary to display the requested data on the packet enabled device, the return data including processed data to allow the packet enabled device to display the data;
- a command bridge connected to the data device communicator for receiving and mapping the command from the data device communicator to at least one standardized protocol, and for receiving processed data from the at least one resource and mapping the processed data into a protocol usable by the packet enabled device;
- and
- a resource termination connected to the command bridge, the resource termination configured to transmit the received data to the at least one resource and receive processed data from the at least one resource,
- wherein the command bridge maintains a communication link between the packet enabled device and the data device communicator and the resource termination and the at least one resource so the received data is transmitted to the at least one resource and the processed data in a protocol usable by the packet enabled device is transmitted to the packet enabled device.
2 more elements
A method for accessing telephony services and resources by packet enabled devices, comprising the steps of:
- establishing a communication link between the packet enabled device and a bridge;
- receiving over the communication link a command from the packet enabled device at the bridge, wherein the command is for access to at least one resource identified by the command received from the packet enabled device;
- mapping the received command to a standardized protocol command;
- establishing at least one call session between the bridge and the at least one resource;
- sending the standardized protocol command to the at least one resource wherein the at least one resource processes the command received from the packet enabled device;
- receiving at the bridge processed data from the at least one resource resulting from the at least one resource executing the command;
- mapping the processed data into a protocol usable by the packet enabled device;
- and
- outputting the processed data in the protocol usable by the packet enabled device from the bridge to the packet enabled device.
