The present invention relates to an internet telephony system for providing voice communication through the Internet established for communication between computers, and more particularly, to an internet telephony system for providing an internet telephony module through a web server. The present invention relates to an internet telephone system having an automatic reception function capable of receiving an incoming call and a method of operating the same.

In recent years, with the development of computer technology and the use of the Internet due to the emergence of a powerful application called the web (WWW), many Internet phone services have advantages in that the call cost is low regardless of the distance between the sender and the receiver. It is being developed and provided, and the number of use of Internet telephony is increasing as call quality, which is the biggest problem due to the development of related technologies, is gradually improved.

The Internet telephone system digitizes analog voice signals and converts them into voice data packets, and then transmits them to the other party through the Internet established for data exchange between computers, and converts digital voice data transmitted from the other parties into analog voice signals. As shown in Fig. 1, a web server 12 which provides an Internet telephone connection service on the web via the Internet 11, and the Internet as shown in Fig. (11) is composed of a plurality of clients (13 ~ 15) to receive the Internet phone service.

As shown in FIG. 2, the call processing process in the Internet phone system providing the Internet phone service using the web server is described in the state in which the sender accesses the web server 12 and downloads the Internet phone module. When a caller's name is clicked in his phone number list as shown in Fig. 5, a connect signal is transmitted to the IP address of the receiver who is the other party to call (1). At this time, the receiver must also be connected to the web server 12 to download the Internet telephony module. When the Internet telephony module is downloaded in this way, the receiver who is requested to access is ringed at the receiver side by the user interface program loaded in his terminal as in the sender, and an accept signal is transmitted to the sender side (22). The ring also sounds at the sender side by the accept signal 22. Then, when the receiver clicks the answer button 61 of the user interface program as shown in FIG. 6, the ring stops ringing and a call accept signal 23 is transmitted to the sender side, and the ringer also rings. Is stopped and the call channel is opened. When a call is made (24), and at the end of a call, when one of the sender or the receiver clicks the disconnect button 61 in the interface environment of FIG. 6, disconnect signals 25 and 26 are transmitted to the other party. Voice communication is terminated.

However, in the conventional Internet telephone system, as in the case of FIG. 1A, both the sender and the receiver must be connected to the web server 12 so that the Internet telephone module is downloaded to their terminal. . In other words, both the calling and receiving parties are connected to a web server that provides an Internet telephony module, and a telephone call can be made only when the module is downloaded.

The present invention has been proposed in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object thereof is to provide an Internet telephone system having an automatic receiving function capable of receiving an incoming call even when not connected to an Internet telephone service, and an operation method thereof. will be.
