Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a system for communication via a computer network of the internet type.
- It also relates to a center, as well as a telephone handset, in particular for the implementation of such a method or for the production of such a system.
- the cost of communications made via an internet type network is particularly low.
- the pricing is independent of the distance and, in general, also independent of the duration of the call.
- internet-type networks are rarely used for telephony (or videophone) because the costs of equipment enabling telephony (or videophone) through this network are dissuasive.
- the assembly of these equipments and their use are relatively complex.
- a long distance communication carried out with such a device implies, for the calling and called party, the acquisition of such a device.
- the cost of the call itself is, for the caller, the sum of the minimum cost of establishing a long distance telephone call, the cost of a local telephone call and a fraction of the cost of his internet subscription .
- the cost is that of a local telephone call, to which is also added a fraction of his internet subscription.
- the invention aims to significantly reduce the cost of telephony (or videophone) over the internet.
- the invention therefore relates to a method of communication between at least two users via a computer communication network, in particular of the internet type, in which each user is provided with a telephone apparatus of the telephone network, in particular of the switched network, and each apparatus is connected, via a local loop of the telephone network, in particular the switched network, to a telephone center managed by a telecommunications operator with which the user has taken out a subscription.
- This process is characterized in that it comprises the steps consisting in, firstly, to establish a connection via the network of com ⁇ munication data such as the Internet, between call centers and, secondly, establishing communication via the telephone network between users who can then decide whether to continue communication on the TV network ⁇ sound or ask the call center switch communication, via said link, the commu nication ⁇ computer network.
- 7 ⁇ so when users choose the second option, that is to say to switch communication on the computer network, the cost of communication is, for each user, the price of a local call and a fraction of the price of the subscription to the computer network, in particular internet, which will be invoiced to them by the telecommunications operators.
- this process does not require any particular equipment for the users.
- the operators of the local loops must be equipped with devices allowing switching on the computer network.
- Such a device is, for example, of the type described in international application 098/13986 cited above, that is to say making it possible to establish a connection, via the computer network, with another device of the same nature, after a telephone communication between these devices.
- the connection of the centers to the computer network can also be permanent. It is also possible to establish a permanent computer link between the various centers.
- the user's telephone comprises at least one key for controlling the switching of communication from the telephone network to the computer link.
- the network link internet each remote center ⁇ sound of a local loop may be shared between multiple subscribers, each subscriber having, for example, a code iden tification ⁇ , whereby it is recognized as having the right to use of switching to the Internet. This code can simply be his telephone number.
- the telephone link (or videophone) must be understood in the general sense as encompassing, on the one hand, a wired telephone link, and on the other hand, a radio link (eg GSM type) or the like.
- a radio link eg GSM type
- the invention also relates to a communication system between at least two users, via a computer network, in particular of the internet type, in which each user is provided with a telephone apparatus of a telephone network, in particular a switched network, which is connected, via a local loop, to a telephone center managed by a telecommunications operator with which the user has taken out a subscription.
- each of the telephone centers comprises a switching device for establishing a link to the other telephone center via the computer network
- the system also comprises means to establish communications, via the switched telephone network, between the two users, and control (or command) means allowing the users either to continue the communication on the switched network, or to activate, or cause to be activated, the communication devices switching to switch communication, via the computer link, on the computer communication network, in particular of the internet type.
- control means allowing the users to actuate the switching devices of the telephone centers comprise at least one key, in particular of the keyboard, of the telephone apparatus, and means generating a signal associated with this key.
- connection of the telephone centers via the computer network is permanent.
- the switching device for establishing a connection from the telephone center to the computer network is, for example, shared between several subscribers, each of these being, in one embodiment, identified by a code.
- the invention relates to a telephone center which is characterized in that it comprises at least one IP address ("Internet Protocol") on a computer communication network, in particular of the internet type, and in that this telephone center comprises: exchange means for communicating its IP address to at least one other telephone center and / or receiving the IP address of another center telephone, this communication and / or reception being able to take place either directly, for example via the telephone network, in particular the switched network, or indirectly, for example via a specific server, and a switching device for establishing a link with another center telephone, via a computer network, in particular of the Internet type, to the IP address of this other telephone center.
- IP IP address
- this telephone center comprises: exchange means for communicating its IP address to at least one other telephone center and / or receiving the IP address of another center telephone, this communication and / or reception being able to take place either directly, for example via the telephone network, in particular the switched network, or indirectly, for example via a specific server, and a switching device for establishing a link with another center telephone, via a computer network
- Such a telephone center constitutes a basic element making it possible, by a particularly simple means, to create a network combining the advantages of telephone and computer networks and making it possible to pass telephone communications through the Internet or the like.
- the telephone center includes means so that its connection with the internet network is permanent.
- the telephone center is such that the switching device can be actuated remotely by users by means of at least one key, for example, the keyboard, of the telephone apparatus.
- the telephone center is such that the switching device is shared between several subscribers.
- Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear with the description of some of its embodiments, this being carried out with reference to the single figure which represents a system according to the invention.
- the system 10 shown in the figure comprises, on the one hand, a telephone network 12, such as a switched telephone network, and on the other hand, a computer network 14, for example of the internet type.
- a telephone network 12 such as a switched telephone network
- a computer network 14 for example of the internet type.
- the telephone network 10 comprises, in a conventional manner, a set of nodes, or local loops, 16 ⁇ , I62, 16 n , constituting access nodes of the subscribers to this network 10.
- Each loop 16j_ includes a telephone center 18j_ making it possible to direct telephone communications, either to a subscriber of the same local loop, or to a subscriber of another local loop.
- each center 18-j_ is associated with a switching device (or interface) 20i making it possible to connect the loop, to the internet network 14. This connection is effected, for example, by means of suppliers of access 22- ⁇ .
- the switching device 20- is permanently connected to the network 14.
- Each of these devices 20j_ comprises an IP address so that the corresponding telephone center (and therefore the local loop) can be connected in a simple way to the other interface devices (or switching) of the same kind on the network.
- This IP address of each interface device can be transmitted directly, by the telephone network 10, to the switching devices of the other telephone centers.
- the connection between the switching devices takes place via a specific server 24 of the network 14 which contains all the IP addresses of the switching devices of the telephone centers.
- the server 24 makes it possible to establish communications, via the network 14 between telephone centers.
- the switching device 20j_ makes it possible to transfer to the internet network 14 the communications established by the telephone network 10.
- the switching of a telephone communication to the internet network 14 is carried out, on the calling side, by means of a control signal originating from the station 26j_ of this calling subscriber.
- the subscriber set has a specific key (not shown).
- it is a combination of keys which makes it possible to transmit the switching control signal.
- the switching to the network 14 of the switching device of the corresponding telephone center is carried out under the control of a specific signal received via the internet network 14.
- this switching is carried out by 1 actuation of a key, or several keys, of the telephone handset 26d of the called party.
- each switching device 20j_ is associated with all of the subscribers of the corresponding local loop 16 ⁇ .
- the loop 16 ⁇ includes a plurality of switching devices, a limited number of users being assigned to each of these devices.
- the possibility of making telephone communications via the internet network 14 constitutes a non-compulsory option.
- the corresponding switching device 20-L can only be activated if the user has taken out a subscription.
- the device for mutation recognizes that the user has subscribed to the appropriate subscription, either because it contains the authorized subscriber numbers in memory, or because the control signal sent by the handset 26-j_ contains a specific code for authorization to access the Internet 14.
- a subscriber of the telephone network 10 who has taken out a subscription to switching to the Internet 14 wants to call a remote subscriber who has also taken out the same type of subscription, he dials the telephone number of the telephone apparatus on his station 26j_ 26j, which connects the telephone centers 18 ⁇ _ and 18 n via the network 10. If he does not press the specific key (s) mentioned above, the conversation takes place via the telephone network 10. On the other hand, if it presses the corresponding key (s), the switching device 20 T. is activated and establishes a link via the internet network 14, with the corresponding device 20 n of the loop 16 n . As indicated above, the switching device 20 n of the telephone center 18 n (loop 16 n ) is actuated either automatically by the signal sent via the internet network, or by pressing a corresponding key on the handset 26-L called him.
- the switching devices being permanently connected to the network 14, there is no waiting time to establish the communication.
- the telephone calls thus made can be particularly inexpensive for the user. Indeed, the latter does not have to acquire a specific device associated with his telephone handset. In addition, he does not need to have subscribed to a personal internet network.
- This subscription to the internet network is billed to it by the network operator 10. But it is clear that the cost for the user can be much lower than the individual subscription. because the network operator 10 has its own subscription which it shares between users.
- the investment is moderate. Indeed, the cost of the switching device (s) represents only a small fraction of the cost of the telephone center.
