Controlling voice communications over a data network
First Claim
1. A method of communicating over a data network, comprising:
- providing a user interface in a control system for establishing a call session in which audio and video data are communicated;
communicating, by the control system, one or more control messages over the data network to establish a call session with a remote device in response to receipt of a request through the user interface; and
transmitting one or more commands to a telephony device connected to the data network and associated with the control system to establish the call session between the telephony device and the remote device over the data network to exchange the audio data and video data between the telephony device and the remote device.

Abstract
A method and apparatus of communicating over a data network includes providing a user interface in a control system for call control and to display information relating to a call session. The control system communicates one or more control messages (e.g., Session Initiation Protocol or SIP messages) over the data network to establish a call session with a remote device in response to receipt of a request through the user interface. One or more commands are transmitted to a voice device associated with the control system to establish the call session between the voice device and the remote device over the data network. A Real-Time Protocol (RTP) link may be established between the voice device and the remote device.
