Internet device and method using server's functions}

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for utilizing a server in an Internet terminal. The Internet interface includes a real time communication server (IP PBX) interface and a comprehensive directory service server interface, and a gatekeeper to the Internet network. In addition, the present invention relates to an Internet terminal device and a method using a server implemented to provide an additional communication service by adding an Internet real-time communication server (IP PBX) and a comprehensive directory service server function.

In general, the Internet terminal connects the terminal 20 and the switch network 30 to the telephone line 1 as shown in FIG. 1. The terminal 20 includes a keyboard 21 and an address book 22 for providing an input, a controller 23 for receiving and controlling an input, a display 24 for displaying a recognition result of the controller 23, and a transmission. It comprises a modem 25 that is an interface for.

The switch network 30 is connected to the Internet network 40, the Internet network 40 is connected to a remote access server (Remote Access Server) 41, IP (Internet Protocol) switch function 42 and And a router 44 functioning to connect to the international internet network 43 and a digital service unit (DSU) which is a digital service unit (digital signal transmission device). In addition, the switch 42 constituting the Internet network 40 is provided with a gatekeeper 45 functioning as a server.

However, this method is generally used in a telephone system because after the connection between terminals, a general function of a gate keeper, is established, the speech data is transmitted directly between terminals without being controlled by the gate keeper. There was a problem that can not use the additional service function.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus and method for providing a communication service and a complex directory service in real time in an Internet terminal.

To this end, the present invention adds a real-time communication server interface and a comprehensive directory service server interface to a terminal, and an Internet real time communication server (IP PBX) and a comprehensive directory service server are added to the Internet network.

The present invention also identifies subscribers for real-time Internet communication, and is authenticated by a gatekeeper for use, and easily recognizes desired information based on various information and its complex information in addition to inputting the counterpart information or selecting the corresponding data. Requesting a service that can be performed, checking whether the other party can communicate, making a communication connection, and if necessary, requesting an additional service function similar to a function provided by a general exchange.
