Abstract

Methods are disclosed that incorporate the straightforwardness and the simplification of the steps and procedures that are used to set up calls using regular fixed phones including homes'"'"' phones, office'"'"'s phones, public phones and PC'"'"'s VoIP calls.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

a mobile communicator having communication software configured to encode to sound waves a destination number; and

a fixed line telephone having a microphone configured to capture the encoded sound waves.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the communication software is further configured to encode to sound waves a participating telecom company service number and an indicia of an account number.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the fixed line telephone comprises a personal computer having a microphone.

4. A computer-implemented method of communicating comprising:

using a mobile communicator to set up a phone call;

using a fixed line phone for communication during the phone call;

encoding a destination number to sound waves; and

capturing, by a microphone of the fixed line phone, the encoded sound waves.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 4, further comprising:

encoding a participating telecom company service number to sound waves; and

encoding an indicia of an account number to sound waves.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 4, wherein the step of capturing comprises capturing by a microphone of a personal computer.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 4, further comprising the steps of capturing a dial tone generated by the fixed line phone;

and using the capturing of the dial tone to trigger the step of encoding a destination number to sound waves.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 5, further comprising the steps of capturing a trigger tone generated by the participating telecom company;

and using the capturing of the trigger tone to trigger the steps of encoding a participating telecom company service number and encoding an indicia of an account number to sound waves.
