IP/telephony user interface for a hybrid communication system
First Claim
1. A method for integrating IP telephony and a computer user interface across a hybrid communication network, comprising the steps of:
- a) transmitting data over a hybrid communication system during a data session;
b) allowing telephonic communication over the hybrid communication system during the data session;
c) routing the telephonic communication over the hybrid communication system via a user action;
d) limiting the telephonic communication over the hybrid communication system based on a user profile, wherein the user profile is enforced by rules in an active database, wherein the active database provides seamless cross-location registration without a need for duplicate databases located on different networks; and
e) providing user customized fault management tools.

Abstract
Integrating IP telephony and a computer user interface across a hybrid communication network may include the following. Data is transmitted over a hybrid communication system during a data session. Telephonic communication is allowed over the hybrid communication system during the data session. The telephonic communication is routed over the hybrid communication system via a user action. The telephonic communication over the hybrid communication system is limited based on a user profile. The user profile is enforced by rules in an active database that provides seamless cross-location registration without a need for duplicate databases located on different networks. Customized fault management tools may be provided.
