System and method for receiving a user message at a packet-network telephone
First Claim
1. A method for receiving a user message at a packet-network telephone, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a packet-network telephone, a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message comprising an identifier that identifies (i) a user message stored at a network device, and (ii) a message transport protocol for retrieving the user message;
transmitting, from the packet-network telephone, according to the message transport protocol, a request message addressed to the network device, wherein the request message comprises;
(i) at least a portion of the identifier to identify the user message, and (ii) a request for the user message to be transmitted to the packet-network telephone; and
receiving the user message at the packet-network telephone, wherein the user message is transmitted to the packet-network telephone according to the message transport protocol.

Abstract
A system and method for receiving, at a packet-network telephone, a user message stored at a network device. Receiving the user message includes the packet-network telephone receiving a SIP message comprising an identifier that identifies (i) the user message, and (ii) a message transport protocol for retrieving the user message. The packet-network telephone transmits a request message addressed to the network device. The request message is arranged according to the message transport protocol and includes (i) at least a portion of the identifier so as to identify the user message, and (ii) a request for the user message to be transmitted to the packet-network telephone. The network device transmits the user message according to the message transport protocol. The packet-network telephone receives the user message, for presentation of the user message as the message is received or at a time subsequent to the packet-network telephone receiving the user message.

15. A packet-network telephone for receiving a user message stored at a network device, the packet-network telephone comprising:
-
a processor;
a network interface to transmit messages and to receive messages; and
data storage for storing computer-readable program instructions executable by the processor, wherein the network interface receives a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message comprising an identifier that identifies;
(i) a user message stored at a network device, and (ii) a message transport protocol to retrieve the user message;
wherein the processor executes the program instructions to (i) create a request message addressed to the network device and arranged according to the message transport protocol, wherein the request message includes at least a portion of the identifier to identify the user message and includes a request for the user message to be transmitted to the packet-network telephone, and (ii) instruct the network interface to transmit the request message; and
wherein the network interface receives the user message as transmitted according to the identified message transport protocol. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
