SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CROSS PROTOCOL COMMUNICATION

摘要

A multimedia communication system and method are described where a communication controller receives a multimedia data stream from a communication device in a first protocol. The controller detects a type of the first protocol, such as text- based protocol or a binary protocol and then converts the first protocol into an intermediate protocol. The multimedia data stream in this intermediate protocol is then transmitted to a second communication controller connected to the destination communication device. The multimedia data stream is then converted at the second communication controller from the intermediate protocol into a second protocol which is then used to transmit the multimedia data stream to the destination communication device.
