  • Publication number: 20210234828
    Abstract: A method for updating a database of a Voice over IP network by a gateway of a local network allowing access to the VoIP network. The method includes: receiving a message to initiate a VoIP call on the VoIP network coming from a terminal connected to the local network; determining a hardware identifier of the terminal from an IP address on the local network contained in the message; if the identifier is paired in the database with a telephone identity, transferring the message to the VoIP network; otherwise: setting up a VoIP channel between the terminal and a voice server hosted by the access gateway; obtaining by the voice server, via this channel, an authentication code of a user of the terminal; if the code is associated with a telephone identity allocated by the VoIP network, updating the database by pairing the identifier of the terminal with this telephone identity.

  • Patent number: 10841345
    Abstract: The invention relates to a processing method, implemented by an application server (AS) capable of transmitting and receiving signalling messages via a first communication link (L1) established with a first core network (CR1). According to the invention, the processing method is suitable for obtaining, depending on a first received signalling message, a second signalling message comprising an identifier of a destination terminal, in order to determine, depending on said identifier, if the destination terminal is connected to a second core network (CR2) and to transmit the second message via a second communication link established with the second core network (CR2). The invention also relates to a method for managing a signalling message, capable of receiving, via the second link, the second signalling message, and transmitting it to the destination terminal.

  • Patent number: 10817137
    Abstract: A method of RTC web type communication on a communication network, including connection of a user terminal to an environment server, providing a unified communication environment, and loading into a web browser of the user terminal a web application incorporated in a web page provided by the environment server. The method includes: dispatching a services activation request message, by the web application of the web browser destined for an application server, so as to determine the communication services which are currently authorized for the user; receiving by the browser a services activation response message, which contains data for access to a set of communication services, and activating by the web application in the user terminal, the services of the set of services; and updating a communication environment graphical interface, displayed in the user terminal by the web application executed by the browser, with the set of communication services.

  • Patent number: 9894106
    Abstract: A method of managing fixed and mobile terminals in an environment comprising a mobile network including an IMS network, and an enterprise network including IP-PBX equipment, the method consisting in particular in: determining (S30) the mobile terminals of the mobile network that are registered with the IMS network and the enterprise terminals that are registered with the IP-PBX equipment of the enterprise network; while a multimedia communications session involving any terminal that is determined as being registered with the IMS network or with the IP-PBX equipment as the case may be, is being initialized via the IMS network, obtaining (S32) the capabilities of said terminal; and updating (S31, S33) a database with information identifying the mobile terminals of the mobile network that are registered with the IMS network and the enterprise terminals that are registered with the IP-PBX equipment, and with information representative of the capabilities that have been obtained for each identified terminal.

  • Publication number: 20160112473
    Abstract: The invention relates to a real-time communication method using WebRTC type technology between web browsers on an Internet type communications network, the method comprising: a first web browser of a first terminal associated with a first user previously loading (S20) a web application provided by an application server, the web application providing real-time communication functions between web browsers; and the first browser sending (S21) a call setup request, via the web application, to the application server, which call setup request includes an identifier of a user being called, referred to as the “second” user. The method is remarkable in that it further comprises steps of: determining (S22, S23, S24) an availability state of the second user for answering the call setup request; and automatically redirecting (S25) to a web address of a messaging service associated with the second user when the second user is not available.
