Abstract

A communicative device with multi-ported, multi-channeled, bidirected functions is provided for coupling an information processing platform having voices input/output functions, such as a public information station, a cellular phone, a telephone with digital video interaction via the internet, a personal digital assistant device, and so on. It is thus that the platform is capable of selectively linking the internet or a public switch telephone network. Therefore, the device user selectively use the internet phone or a conventional dialing. One of the advantages of the communicative device with multi-ported, multi-channeled, bidirected functions is that it provides the user a multi-channeled and bidirected communicative function for selecting between the internet phone or the traditional dialing phone, and it provides the internet phone with a communicative function between a static IP to a dynamic IP or between a dynamic IP to another dynamic IP. Thereby, the communication device of the present invention is more advanced and competitive than a conventional one.

Description

567706 V. Description of the Invention (1) [Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a telephone communication technology, and more particularly to a multi-port, multi-channel, two-way communication telephone communication device, which can be applied to a connection with voice input / output. Functional information platforms, such as personal computers, public information stations, mobile phones (commonly known as mobile phones), internet video phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), etc .; and they have at least one Internet connection Port and a telephone network port, such as an RJ45 connection port and an RJ11 port, which can be used by the information platform to selectively connect to the Internet or the public switched telecommunication network (Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), which allows users to selectively use Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) or traditional dial-up telephony. [Background of the Invention] The traditional telephone communication system uses a public switched telecommunication network (Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)) to connect the telephone at the calling end to the telephone at the receiving end, and transfers the telephone signal through an analog communication device. However, with the development of digital technology, most of the current public switched telephone network systems have adopted digital communication equipment to transmit telephone signals. In addition, with the development of computer network technology, a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology has also been developed, which allows the calling and receiving ends to use the computer platform and the Internet (Internet) ) To transmit telephone signals; that is, as long as the user's computer platform has digital voice input and output functions and Internet connection functions, that is,

16646.ptd Page 6 567706 V. Description of the Invention (2) This Internet telephone communication function can be used through the Internet. Currently commonly used Internet connection methods include, for example, Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL), Cable Modem (Cable Modem), telephone dial-up, etc .; among them, ADSL connection method is adopted An identical telephone line is used to transmit high frequency internet telephone signals and low frequency dial telephone signals. However, since the Internet telephone signal and the dial-up telephone signal share the same telephone line, it must be equipped with a gateway to separate and switch the two signals, and separate the separated Internet telephone signal and dial-up. The telephone signal is transmitted to the computer platform and the telephone respectively. However, a disadvantage of the conventional technology is that it can only provide a unidirectional switching function, but cannot provide a bidirectional switching function. This is because the current switching function cannot achieve the VoIP communication functions of [Fixed Network Address to Dynamic Network Address] and [Dynamic Network Address to Dynamic Network Address]. [Summary of the Invention] In view of the shortcomings of the conventional technology described above, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a multi-port and multi-channel two-way communication telephone communication device, which can provide two-way switched Internet telephone communication functions and dial-up Telephone communication function. Another object of the present invention is to provide a multi-channel multi-channel bidirectional connected telephone communication device, which can provide [fixed network address to dynamic network address] and [dynamic network address to dynamic network address] Internet phone communication function. The multi-channel multi-channel two-way communication telephone communication device of the present invention is applicable
