Abstract

A converged mobile-Web communications solution interfaces to both a mobile phone network and an Internet or Intranet network, so that services that are provided to mobile phones in the mobile phone network are also provided to Web clients in the Internet or Intranet network.

Claims

1. A system for providing a converged mobile-Web communications solution, comprising:

a mobile phone network for making calls and exchanging data to and from at least one mobile phone, wherein the calls are made and the data is exchanged using connections that are initiated by call setup and in-band signaling within the mobile phone network and frames for the calls and the data are switched to and from the mobile phone by at least one mobile switching center across bearer paths in the mobile phone network;

a Internet or Intranet network for exchanging data to and from at least one Web client, wherein the data are packet switched within the Internet or Intranet network; and

means, that interface to the mobile phone network and the Internet or Intranet network, for providing a converged mobile-Web communications solution to both the mobile phone and the Web client, wherein the converged mobile-Web communications solution comprises services that are provided to the mobile phone in the mobile phone network that are also provided to the Web client in the Internet or Intranet network.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the converged mobile-Web communications solution comprises means for providing the Web client with access to the mobile phone'"'"'s contacts.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the converged mobile-Web communications solution comprises means for providing the Web client with access to the mobile phone'"'"'s text messaging.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the converged mobile-Web communications solution comprises means for allowing the Web client to send text messages to one or more recipient mobile phones in the mobile phone network.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the converged mobile-Web communications solution comprises means for providing the Web client with access to the mobile phone'"'"'s voice messaging.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the converged mobile-Web communications solution comprises means for allowing the Web client to send multimedia files to one or more recipient mobile phones in the mobile phone network.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the converged mobile-Web communications solution comprises means for allowing the Web client to place a group call to a plurality of recipient mobile phones in the mobile phone network.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the converged mobile-Web communications solution comprises means for performing simultaneous ringing to both the mobile phone in the mobile phone network and the Web client in the Internet or Intranet network.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the converged mobile-Web communications solution comprises means for transferring calls from the mobile phone in the mobile phone network to the Web client in the Internet or Intranet network.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the converged mobile-Web communications solution comprises means for transferring calls from the Web client in the Internet or Intranet network to the mobile phone in the mobile phone network to.

11. The system of claim 1, wherein the converged mobile-Web communications solution comprises means for synchronizing data between the mobile phone in the mobile phone network and the Web client in the Internet or Intranet network.

12. A method for providing a converged mobile-Web communications solution, comprising:

providing a converged mobile-Web communications solution to both a mobile phone and a Web client by interfacing to a mobile phone network and an Internet or Intranet network;

wherein the mobile phone network is used for making calls and exchanging data to and from at least one mobile phone, and the calls are made and the data is exchanged using connections that are initiated by call setup and in-band signaling within the mobile phone network and frames for the calls and the data are switched to and from the mobile phone by at least one mobile switching center across bearer paths in the mobile phone network;

wherein the Internet or Intranet network is used for exchanging data to and from at least one Web client, and the data are packet switched within the Internet or Intranet network; and

wherein the converged mobile-Web communications solution comprise services that are provided to the mobile phone in the mobile phone network that are also provided to the Web client in the Internet or Intranet network.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the converged mobile-Web communications solution comprises providing the Web client with access to the mobile phone'"'"'s contacts.

14. The method of claim 12, wherein the converged mobile-Web communications solution comprises providing the Web client with access to the mobile phone'"'"'s text messaging.

15. The method of claim 12, wherein the converged mobile-Web communications solution comprises allowing the Web client to send text messages to one or more recipient mobile phones in the mobile phone network.

16. The method of claim 12, wherein the converged mobile-Web communications solution comprises providing the Web client with access to the mobile phone'"'"'s voice messaging.
