Abstract
A system for and method of providing a call transfer is presented. In one exemplary embodiment, the system and method of providing a call transfer may comprise receiving, via a network interface, a call at an IP based phone, the call originating from outside a network of the IP based phone, parsing one or more portions of call information to identify a unique network interface indicator associated with the network interface, receiving a request to transfer the call, and transferring the call to the network interface using the unique network interface indicator.
Claims19
A method, comprising:
- receiving, via a network interface between a first IP network and a second IP network, an IP call at an IP based phone that is within the first IP network, the IP call originating from a second IP network that is outside the first IP network and including call information that comprises setup information and a unique network interface indicator that is associated with the network interface;
- at the IP based phone, parsing the call information to identify the unique network interface indicator associated with the network interface;
- receiving, at the IP based phone, a request to transfer the IP call;
- and
- transferring, by the IF based phone, the IP call to the network interface using the unique network interface indicator.
A system, comprising:
- an IP-based phone communicatively coupled to a network;
- at least one processor communicatively coupled to the IP-based phone, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
- receive, via a network interface between a first IP network and a second IP network, an IP call originating from a second IP network that is outside the first IP network and including call information that comprises setup information and a unique network interface indicator that is associated with the network interface;
- parse, at the IP-based phone, the call information to identify a unique network interface indicator associated with the network interface;
- receive, at the IP-based phone, a request to transfer the IP call;
- and
- transfer, by the IP-based phone, the IP call to the network interface using the unique network interface indicator.
