Abstract

A system for determining dynamically any given registered wireless device VoIP location, whereby the dynamic method reports the VoIP address return path as being the VoIP Location into a database. Applications of the system can access the database to contact each individual, specific, fixed or wireless device by VoIP for any data exchange.

Claims

1. A system for detecting or determining any given “

VoIP location”

of any “

VoIP enabled device registered to the system”

by extracting any such device'"'"'s “

VoIP address or return path” and

storing it and updating it in one or more accessible databases, in which;

(a) the system is adapted to receive VoIP communications from multiple VoIP enabled devices;

(b) the system enables access to information in one or more databases;

(c) the system is capable of extracting and reporting dynamically the “

VoIP address or return path” and

all associated information from each incoming data communication from any “

VoIP enabled device registered to the system”

into a database(s) associated with each corresponding registered VoIP enabled device user account;

(d) the system is capable of extracting a specific “

VoIP address or return path” and

all associated information corresponding to a specific registered VoIP enabled device user account from the system accessible database(s) and communicating with each specific VoIP enabled device registered to the system through each specific “

VoIP address or return path”

.

2. The system of claim 1 where the “

VoIP enabled device registered to the system”

incorporates a “

software module”

, downloadable to the VoIP enabled device, which at certain time intervals authenticates and connects to a server which is part of the system.

3. The system of claim 2 where the server then authenticates if it'"'"'s a registered VoIP device user and extracts the “

VoIP address or return path” and

stores this data into the registered VoIP enable device user account as the “

VoIP location” and

the server can at any time send data to any specific registered VoIP device user.

4. The system of claim 2 where such time intervals correspond to the times of detection of any change of VoIP access -method or -name by the “

VoIP enabled device registered to the system”

.

5. The system of claim 4 where the transition from the “

VoIP enabled device registered to the system”

changes from not synchronised to synchronised is also considered a change of VoIP access method or name.

6. The system according to claim 2 to claim 5, wherein the time between each time interval of the registered VoIP enabled device authenticating and/or connecting with the server is less than the time allowed by the registered VoIP enabled device to receive a response from the server.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein any “

VoIP enabled device registered to the system”

(VoIP device

     1) can connect to any such other different “

VoIP enabled device registered to the system”

(VoIP device

     2), the system comprising;

(a) “

VoIP device 1”

authenticating and connecting to the system server and providing in its payload data destined for “

VoIP device 2”

;

(b) the server extracting from the data communication with “

VoIP device 1”

the payload data destined for “

VoIP device 2”

;

(c) the server extracting from its accessible database the “

VoIP location”

or “

VoIP address or return path”

of “

VoIP device 2” and

communicating with “

VoIP device 2”

by sending it the data and the origin of such data as having been originated from “

VoIP device 1”

.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein any “

VoIP enabled device registered to the system”

(VoIP device

     3) can send commands to any such other different “

VoIP enabled device registered to the system”

(VoIP device

     4) the system comprising;

(a) “

VoIP device 3”

authenticating and connecting to the system server and providing in its payload a command known by and destined for “

VoIP device 4”

;

(b) the server extracting from the data communication with “

VoIP device 3”

the payload command data destined for “

VoIP device 4”

;

(c) the server extracting from its accessible database the “

VoIP location”

or “

VoIP address or return path”

of “

VoIP device 4” and

communicate with “

VoIP device 4”

by sending it the command data;

(d) optionally the server sending to its destination “

VoIP device 4”

together with the command data also the origin of such data as having been originated from “

VoIP device 3”

.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the system server can send payload data and/or payload commands to any individual or such multiple “

VoIP enabled device(s) registered to the system”

the system comprising;

(a) the system server extracting from its accessible database(s) the “

VoIP location”

or “

VoIP address or return path”

of any individual or such multiple “

VoIP enabled device(s) registered to the system”

it wishes to communicate with;

(b) the server extracting from its accessible database(s) any such payload data and/or payload commands;

(s) the server send the payload data and/or payload commands from previous point ‘

b’

to all the “

VoIP address or return paths”

of previous point ‘

a’

corresponding to each unique “

VoIP enabled device(s) registered to the system”

.

10. The system according to claim 2, wherein the system server stores the “

software module”

which can be downloaded by any “

VoIP enabled device”

.

11. The system according to claim 1, wherein “

VoIP enabled device”

registered to the system is a wireless enabled VoIP device;

for example but not limited to a mobile phone, mobile smart phone, wireless pc card, wireless module, wireless tablet, wireless pc.

12. The system according to claim 2, wherein a wireless “

VoIP enabled device”

can download over the air the “

software module”

.

13. The system of claim 12 wherein such software module is also capable of (a) detecting if any other software applications other then this invention'"'"'s previous mentioned “

software module”

is active and (b) if the wireless “

VoIP enabled device”

is in the standby mode, then (c) if previous ‘

a’ and

‘

b’

are not detected then the “

software module”

will disable the highest bandwidth VoIP communication and enable only the lowest bandwidth VoIP communication method available to the wireless “

VoIP enabled device”

, and (d) if the “

software module”

detects any of previous ‘

a’

or ‘

b’

then it will deactivate previous point ‘

c’

, meaning it will activate or enable the highest bandwidth VoIP communication available to the wireless “

VoIP enabled device”

.

14. The system according to claim 1, wherein a wireless “

VoIP enabled device”

registered to the system in particular includes such “

certain time intervals”

being performed at the times of detection of any change of mobile network cell, wherein the transition from the wireless “

VoIP enabled device registered to the system”

changing from not synchronised to synchronised to a mobile network cell is also considered a change of VoIP access method or name.

15. The system according to claim 1, wherein a “

VoIP enabled device”
