Multi-protocol e.g. session initiation protocol, client e.g. trillian client, device for e.g. managing instant message, has encapsulation unit encapsulating content of message, and sending message to client based on protocol

摘要

The device (100) has an interface network (18) receiving messages from an ICQ(RTM: Not defined) client (6) and an MSN(RTM: Not defined) client (7) based on respective communication protocols e.g. session initiation protocol, in a telecommunication network (2) e.g. Internet. An encapsulation unit (20) relays one of the messages emitted by the client (7) to the other client (6). The unit (20) extracts a content of one of the messages and to encapsulate a content of the other message. The unit (20) sends the latter message to the client (6) based on the protocol. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method of managing an instant message in a telecommunication network (2) a computer program comprising instructions to perform a method of managing an instant message (3) a recording medium comprising instructions to perform a method of managing an instant message.
