PEER-TO-PEER, INTERNET PROTOCOL TELEPHONE SYSTEM WITH PROXY INTERFACE FOR CONFIGURATION DATA

摘要

Various embodiments provide a Peer-to-Peer (P2P, Internet Protocol (IP) telephone system. The telephone system includes a plurality of terminals coupled together via an IP network. The terminals cooperate with one another to provide telephony features without a dedicated central controller such as a PBX and/or a KSU controller. The terminals may further receive requests for configuration data residing on other terminals, relay the requests to such other terminals to obtain the request configuration, and return the requested configuration data to the requesting device.

主权项

1. A telephone terminal for configuring a plurality of telephone terminals of a telephone system, the telephone terminal comprising:
circuitry configured to conduct a telephone call over an Internet Protocol (IP) network; and a server configured to:
display a network-accessible user interface on a client device by transferring aspects of the network-accessible user interface to a web browser of the client device;receive a request for configuration data used to configure one or more telephone terminals of the plurality of telephone terminals;relay the request to a second telephone terminal to obtain the requested configuration data from the second telephone terminal;present the requested configuration data to the client device;establish a first session with the client device and associate a first session cookie with the first session, and establish a second session with the second telephone terminal and associate a second session cookie with the second session; andverify that the request received from the client device includes the first session cookie and replace the first session cookie with the second session cookie.
