Abstract

A system, server, and method of DTMF detection in a VoIP network.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

identifying, by an enterprise gateway server, a mobile telephone as a destination to which a call should be routed based on criteria comprising at least one of call routing criteria and profile criteria;

terminating, by the enterprise gateway server, the call to a wireless network;

sending, via the wireless network, a trigger message to a carrier gateway server to proceed with routing the call, wherein the trigger message comprises dialed digits associated with the call, and wherein responsive to the trigger message being received, the carrier gateway server communicates with the enterprise gateway server to route the call;

determining whether a subscriber associated with the mobile telephone has an active badge status according to a designated time permitting calls to be routed to the mobile telephone; and

responsive to identifying the active badge status, permitting the call to be routed to the mobile telephone.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing, by the mobile telephone, a line identifier ascertainable by a user of the mobile telephone that is indicative of a line called.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the line identifier includes digits corresponding to the line called.

4. The method as specified in claim 1, further comprising receiving the call, by the enterprise gateway server, wherein the call is intended to be routed to at least one of a plurality of telephone devices each having a respective assigned telephone number and including line information specifying the at least one of the plurality of telephone devices, wherein the line information comprises a portion of digits identifying the one of the multiple telephone devices called.

5. The method as specified in claim 4, wherein the line information comprises supplementary information that is displayed on the mobile telephone.

6. The method as specified in claim 1, wherein the line information comprises a predetermined ring.

7. The method as specified in claim 1, wherein the criteria is a function of a user or administrator setting for determining call routing.

8. The method as specified in claim 1, wherein the criteria is a function of a time or date.

9. The method as specified in claim 4, comprising sending an identifier to the mobile telephone that is indicative of the at least one of the plurality of telephone devices called and originating, by the carrier gateway server, a call to the mobile telephone including the identifier.

10. The method as specified in claim 1, comprising connecting, by the carrier gateway server, an outgoing leg to an incoming leg in control of the enterprise gateway server.

11. The method as specified in claim 1, wherein a carrier gateway server serving the mobile telephone does not have the ability to originate calls.

12. The method as specified in claim 9, comprising originating, by the enterprise gateway server, an outgoing call to the mobile telephone that includes the identifier.

13. The method as specified in claim 1, comprising connecting, by the enterprise gateway server, an outgoing leg to an incoming leg comprising the incoming call.

14. The method as specified in claim 1, comprising the carrier gateway server communicating with the enterprise gateway server, a communication response.

15. A method, comprising:

sending, from a wireless network to a carrier gateway server, a trigger message comprising digits dialed from a mobile telephone;

responsive to receiving the trigger message, communicating, by a carrier gateway server, with an enterprise gateway server;

forwarding, by the wireless network, a call to the enterprise gateway server with calling name information corresponding to a line number;

accessing, by the enterprise gateway server, additional calling information based on the received first calling name information, the additional calling information comprising enterprise specific information retrieved by the enterprise gateway server; and

terminating, by the enterprise gateway server, the call based on the accessed second additional calling information;

determining whether a subscriber associated with the mobile telephone has an active badge status according to a designated time permitting calls to be routed to the mobile telephone; and

responsive to identifying the active badge status, permitting the call to be routed to the mobile telephone.

16. The method as specified in claim 15, comprising originating, by the mobile telephone, the call.

17. The method as specified in claim 15, comprising obtaining, by the enterprise gateway server, additional calling name information from the carrier gateway server.

18. The method as specified in claim 15, comprising deciding, by the enterprise gateway server, which of the calling name information to provide to a terminating party.

19. The method as specified in claim 15, wherein the second calling name information is stored in a corporate directory.

20. The method as specified in claim 19, wherein the corporate directory is stored in an enterprise server.
