Web-based Internet Phone Management System and Method {WEB-BASED IP-PHONE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREOF}

The present invention relates to a system and method for managing an internet phone, and more particularly, to a web server for managing an internet phone in an office environment, and to implement a remote control function of an internet phone by a user terminal that can be connected to the web server through the Internet. Also relates to a web-based Internet phone management system and method that can use the Internet phone.

Internet telephony technology, called Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), is a set of communication services that transform voice data into Internet protocol data packets on a computer network to enable voice calls, such as telephone calls on a general telephone network.

The trend of using Internet phones using VoIP technology in the office environment is expected to expand in the future, and the operation control of each terminal of the Internet phone has been implemented by a user directly pressing a terminal button.

However, in the prior art as described above, since the user has to press the counterpart terminal number when the user tries to make a phone call, and all the basic settings and speed dialing functions have to be pressed at the terminal itself, for example, the Internet phone terminal can be remotely located. It could not implement functions such as controlling or listening to VMS messages coming to its own terminal.

Therefore, the present invention has been created to solve the above-mentioned problems, and establishes a web server that manages the Internet phone in an office environment and can set the Internet phone by a user terminal that can access the web server through the Internet. In addition, there is provided a web-based Internet phone management system and method for supporting the Internet phone received messages from a remote location.

One embodiment of the present invention for achieving the above object is a plurality of user terminals that can be connected to the Internet; In response to an Internet phone user registration request of the user terminal connected through the Internet, after receiving user registration information from the user terminal, the user allocates an IP address to be input to the Internet phone to be controlled by the user IP. Sending the address to the user terminal and storing it together with the received user registration information and receiving the remote control information of the Internet phone from the user terminal in response to a request for providing an internet phone remote control service of a legitimate user registered as the Internet phone user. A web server which receives the input and transmits it to the Internet phone to which the corresponding IP address is assigned; And a plurality of Internet phones connected to the web server through a local communication network and having a control unit for controlling the system according to the remote control information received from the web server.

Another embodiment of the present invention for achieving the above object, in the Internet phone management method through a web server that can be connected to the Internet, connected via an Internet phone and a local communication network to manage the Internet phone, through the Internet In response to an Internet phone user registration request of the accessible user terminal, after receiving user registration information from the user terminal, an IP address to be input to the Internet phone to be controlled by the user is allocated to the user. A user registration step of transmitting to the terminal and storing the received user registration information together with the received user registration information; In response to a request for providing an Internet phone remote control service of a legitimate user registered as the Internet phone user, the Internet phone remote control service step of receiving Internet phone remote control information from the user terminal and transmitting the information to the Internet phone to which the corresponding IP address is assigned is performed. Characterized in that made.
