Telephony and applications communication in a non-mobile telephone system
First Claim
1. In a non-mobile telephone system that includes a landline telephone, the non-mobile telephone system including a telephony processing system for performing telephone functions and an applications processing system for executing applications for the non-mobile telephone system, a method of interprocessing system communication comprising:
- sending a message, by making a selection on a touchscreen display on the landline telephone, from the applications processing system to the telephony processing system in a format that is independent of a telecommunications protocol;
wherein making the selection on the touchscreen display includes displaying an applications view on the touchscreen display based on the selection made;
the telephony processing system receiving the message; and
, responsive to the message, performing instructions in the telecommunications protocol processed by the telephony processing system;
wherein instructions in the telecommunications protocol processed by the telephony processing system are capable of sending an instant message request, sending a text message, and making a voice call according to the message.

Abstract
Technology is described for a non-mobile telephone system which in addition to processing voice signal data and performing telephone functions, can execute applications transferring data responsive to user input received through a graphical user interface of the telephone system. The non-mobile telephone includes a telephony processing system for performing telephone functions, and an applications processing system for executing applications. The two processing systems communicate using a communication protocol between them which is independent of a telecommunication protocol used for voice signal data processed by the telephony processing system.
