Abstract

A communication method capable of connecting with a communication application service for an Internet protocol private branch exchange includes establishing a communication channel in the Internet protocol private branch exchange, transmitting a communication message to a channel proxy through the communication channel, and starting to communicate with the communication application service according to the communication message and transmitting the communication message to the communication application service.

Claims

1. A communication method capable of connecting with a communication application service for an Internet protocol private branch exchange, comprising:

establishing a communication channel in the Internet protocol private branch exchange;

transmitting a communication message to a channel proxy through the communication channel; and

starting to communicate with the communication application service according to the communication message, and transmitting the communication message to the communication application service.

2. The communication method of claim 1, wherein the step of transmitting the communication message to the channel proxy through the communication channel comprises transmitting audio information of the communication message to a communication socket application programming interface of the channel proxy through the communication channel.

3. The communication method of claim 1, wherein the step of transmitting the communication message to the channel proxy through the communication channel comprises transmitting command information of the communication message to a communication socket application programming interface of the channel proxy through the communication channel.

4. The communication method of claim 1, wherein the step of transmitting the communication message to the channel proxy through the communication channel comprises transmitting settings information of the communication message to a communication socket application programming interface of the channel proxy through the communication channel.

5. The communication method of claim 1, wherein the step of starting to communicate with the communication application service according to the communication message and transmitting the communication message to the communication application service comprises:

controlling an application service wrapper to start to communicate with the communication application service according to the communication message; and

informing the communication application service of implementing a corresponding procedure according to command information of the communication message, and transmitting the communication message to the communication application service.

6. The communication method of claim 1 further comprising:

receiving a communication message from the communication application service, and informing the Internet protocol private branch exchange of implementing a corresponding procedure according to command information of the received communication message; and

transmitting the received communication message to the Internet protocol private branch exchange via a communication socket application programming interface and the communication channel.

7. A gateway capable of connecting with a communication application service, comprising:

an Internet protocol private branch exchange for building communication bridges between a plurality of network users; and

a channel proxy, comprising;

a communication socket application programming interface for receiving a communication message transmitted through a communication channel of the Internet protocol private branch exchange;

a settings application programming interface for transmitting and receiving settings information;

a control unit for controlling communication with the communication application service according to the communication message; and

an application service wrapper for communicating with the communication application service.

8. The gateway of claim 7, wherein the communication socket application programming interface receives the communication message transmitted through the communication channel by a virtual device.

9. The gateway of claim 7, wherein the communication socket application programming interface receives the communication message transmitted through the communication channel by a communication socket.

10. The gateway of claim 7, wherein the communication message comprises command information, audio information, and the settings information.

11. The gateway of claim 7, wherein the control unit transmits the communication message to the application service wrapper from the communication socket application programming interface.

12. The gateway of claim 7, wherein the control unit informs the application service wrapper of starting to communicate with the communication application service.

13. The gateway of claim 7, wherein the application service wrapper communicates with a communication application service engine.

14. The gateway of claim 7, wherein the application service wrapper informs the communication application service of implementing a corresponding procedure according to command information of the communication message, and transmitting the communication message to the communication application service.
