Abstract

A communication method capable of connecting with a communication application service for an Internet protocol private branch exchange includes establishing a communication channel in the Internet protocol private branch exchange, transmitting a communication message to a channel proxy through the communication channel, and starting to communicate with the communication application service according to the communication message and transmitting the communication message to the communication application service.

Claims

1. A computer capable of connecting with a communication application, comprising:

a central processing unit (CPU);

a gateway connecting with a communication application service located inside the gateway, the gateway comprising;

an Internet protocol private branch exchange building communication bridges between a plurality of network users and including a plurality of communication channels; and

a channel proxy communicating with the communication application service through application programming interfaces, the channel proxy comprising;

a communication socket application programming interface receiving a communication message transmitted through a communication channel of the Internet protocol private branch exchange;

a settings application programming interface transmitting and receiving settings information through a communication channel of the Internet protocol private branch exchange, the settings information including related setting files of the Internet protocol private branch exchange for establishing communication between the Internet protocol private branch exchange and the communication application service;

a control unit controlling communication with the communication application service according to the communication message transmitted from the Internet protocol private branch exchange, the communication message comprising the settings information; and

an application service wrapper transmitting the communication message to communication application service and used for establishing communication connection with the communication application service;

wherein the communication application service includes an application programming interface which is different from the setting application programming interface and the communication socket application programming interface and which is opened to public access so that the application programming interface is opened to public access without developing for specifications of specific communication protocols.

2. The computer of claim 1, wherein the communication socket application programming interface receives the communication message transmitted through the communication channel by a virtual device.

3. The computer of claim 1, wherein the communication socket application programming interface receives the communication message transmitted through the communication channel by a communication socket.

4. The computer of claim 1, wherein the communication message comprises command information, audio information, and the settings information.

5. The computer of claim 1, wherein the control unit transmits the communication message to the application service wrapper from the communication socket application programming interface.

6. The computer of claim 1, wherein the control unit informs the application service wrapper of starting to communicate with the communication application service.

7. The computer of claim 1, wherein the application service wrapper communicates with a communication application service engine.

8. The computer of claim 1, wherein the application service wrapper informs the communication application service of implementing a corresponding procedure according to command information of the communication message, and transmitting the communication message to the communication application service.
