Abstract

A method for enhancing voice conversations comprises providing a server interacting with two or more communication devices which carry out a voice communication, said communication devices being provided with software to simultaneously establish a TCP/IP connection between them, which is mediated by said server.

Claims

1. A method for enhancing voice conversations, comprising providing a server interacting with two or more communication devices which carry out a voice communication, said communication devices being provided with software to simultaneously establish a TCP/IP connection between them, which is mediated by said server.

2. A method according to claim 1, wherein additional IP-enabled consumer electronics are provided with software suitable to enhance a phone conversation between the communication devices and to receive/transmit media from/to one user to another or to control the flow of data between the phones and CE devices.

3. A method according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the communication devices is a mobile communication device.

4. A method according to claim 3, wherein the mobile communication device is a cellular phone.

5. A system for enhancing phone conversations, comprising a server suitable to interact with two or more communication devices which carry out a voice communication, and communication devices provided with software suitable to simultaneously establish a TCP/IP connection between them, which is mediated by said server.

6. A system according to claim 5, further comprising IP-enabled consumer electronics provided with software suitable to listen in the conversation between the communication devices and to receive media transmitted from one user to another.
