Abstract

Selon l'invention, un système de communication comprend un téléphone mobile (10) relié à un serveur de réponse vocale interactif (RVI) (12) et à une base de données associée (14) par un réseau de communications téléphoniques (20). Le serveur RVI (12) est lui-même relié à une pluralité d'ordinateurs (16) sur un second réseau (18). La base de données (14) stocke la relation entre une pluralité de numéros de téléphones et une pluralité d'adresses IP des ordinateurs (16). Un appel téléphonique est acheminé au serveur RVI au moyen de réseaux de télécommunication. Le serveur RVI (12) utilise l'adresse PI relative afin d'envoyer un message vers un ordinateur (16) éloigné et une session de communication est établie entre une application d'écoute qui tourne sur l'ordinateur (16) éloigné et sur le serveur RVI (12), l'ordinateur éloigné (16) recevant des paramètres et envoyant des commandes au serveur RVI (12). Celui-ci envoie des messages à l'utilisateur et les reçoit de ce dernier via un réseau de communications téléphoniques (20).
