COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND COMMUNICATION METHOD
First Claim
1. A communication system comprising a computer, a broadband router apparatus connected to the computer, and a WWW sever connected to the broadband router apparatus via the Internet, the computer transmitting an HTTP request to the WWW server via the broadband router apparatus, and the WWW server transmitting an HTTP response to the computer according to the received HTTP request, the communication system characterized in that:
- the system comprises;
first IP phone means for establishing an IP phone session with the broadband router apparatus; and
first HTTP proxy means for establishing a TCP connection with the broadband router apparatus and terminating HTTP communication; and
the broadband router apparatus comprises;
second HTTP proxy means for terminating HTTP communication, and, upon receiving an HTTP request from the computer, transmitting an IP phone connection request; and
second IP phone means for, upon receiving the IP phone connection request, establishing an IP phone session with the first IP phone means and notifying the second HTTP proxy means to the effect that the IP phone session has been established;
when being notified by the second IP phone means that the IP phone session has been established, the second HTTP proxy means establishes a TCP connection with the first HTTP proxy means and transmits the HTTP request received from the computer to the first HTTP proxy means; and
the first HTTP proxy means transmits the HTTP request received from the second HTTP proxy means to the WWW server, and transmits the HTTP response to the HTTP request, which has been received from the WWW server, to the second HTTP proxy means.
