  • Computer telephony
    Patent number: 9538012

The computer-telephony controller refers to a mapping between the label value and an identifier of a communications terminal; and initiates the requested first computer-telephony event controlling operation of the communications terminal. The computer-telephony controller then receives, from second computer terminal 2B, a request for the label value.
