Streaming method for transmitting telephone system notifications to internet terminal devices in real time

摘要

In the course of an application involving real-time notification of a client by a telephone switching system, a connection between the client and a server is opened. Notification messages transmitted from the telephone switching system to the server are adjusted and sent to the client in the format of a programming language code executable by the client's browser. The programming language codes are subsequently executed by the browser, whereby the respective notification messages are displayed at the client. For transmission of the notification messages from the server to the browser, as streaming method such as HTTP streaming is use so that the connection remains open while notification messages are to be sent. The presented method can be based on standardized protocols, entails little protocol overhead and allows for facile treatment of security issues.

主权项

1. A method for an application involving real-time notification of a client by a telephone switching system, comprising:
a) opening a connection between the client and a server; b) transmitting notification messages from the telephone switching system to the server using a networking protocol; c) transforming the notification messages at the server into a programming language code and using said networking protocol for sending the programming language code to the client, wherein the programming language code is executable by the client's browser; d) using an HTTP streaming mechanism for transmission of the notification from the server to the browser through the open connection, whereby the connection between the client and the server remains open in the intervening period between the transmission of individual notification messages; and e) executing the programming language codes by the browser whereby the respective notification messages are displayed or outputted at the client.
