12. A method for providing a
videophone communication
system comprising:
12a. connecting a plurality of
videophones to one or more
communications media having
sufficient bandwidth for and
configured for transmitting both
video and audio communications
in real time;
12b. connecting said
communications media to a
common communications
network having sufficient
bandwidth for and configured for
transmitting both video and audio
communications in real time;
12c. uniquely identifying each of
the videophones connected to the
communication network and the
address of said videophone on
said communication network;

[0035] “The present invention pertains to a videophone.”
[0039] “The present invention pertains to a method for a
Video call.”
[0244] “A videophone 15 is available to connect to either a
10/100 Ethernet network 40 or an ATM network 40 at 155
Mbits/sec (with both Fiber and Copper options).”
[0264] “For an Ethernet attached videophone 15 the user
connection needs to support 802.1 p. DiffServ and/or
IntServ or better.”
[0276] “An existing 10/100 BaseT Ethernet connection to
the desktop is the only connection necessary for
communication to the LAN, WAN, PC 68 desktop, and
various servers, proxies, and gateways 70. Time critical
RTP streams for audio and video are marked with priority
using 802.1 p. Supplying the mechanism within the
Ethernet domain of the LAN for QoS”
[0049] “There is the step of sending the video stream onto
a network and the audio stream...”
[0244] “A videophone 15 is available to connect to either a
10/100 Ethernet network 40 or an ATM network 40 at 155
Mbits/sec (with both Fiber and Copper options)”
[0239] “The videophone 15 server 66 (preferably SIP) also
contains a database for user data, including a local cache of
the users contact information. This database can be
synchronized with the users main contact database”
[0112] “The method comprises the Aug. 9, 2007 steps of
calling a phone number for a videophone 15 of the
person.”
[0248] “Preferably, in instances where the originating
videophone 15 of a conference is connected to an Ethernet,
and a terminating videophone 15 of the conference is
connected to an ATM network, as shown in FIG. 15, the
following addressing of the packets that cross the network
between the originating and terminating videophones
occurs. The originating videophone 15 sends a packet onto
the Ethernet to which it is an communication with the

 originating videophone's IP address. The packet reaches an
originating gateway 80 which links the Ethernet with the
ATM network. At the originating gateway 80, the IP
address of the originating videophone 15 is saved from the
packet, and the originating gateway 80 adds to the packet
the ATM address of the originating gateway 80 and sends
the packet on to the terminating videophone 15.”

[0252] “As is well known, the gateway has controlling

means and a data processing means for moving a packet on
to its ultimate destination. A network interface 42 and a
main controller 50 of the controlling mechanism of the
gateway, operating with well known techniques in regard
to SIP routing information, stores address information
received from a packet and places its own address
information relative to a network”

more operations centers the users contact information. This database can be
configured to communicate with synchronized with the users main contact database.

information including, without [0252] “The network interface 42 also stores the address
limitation, the unique identity of information it receives from a packet from a node on the
each videophone and its address network in a local memory.”
on the communication network;
[0252] “A network interface 42 and a main controller 50 of
the controlling mechanism of the gateway, operating with
well known techniques in regard to SIP routing
information, stores address information received from a
packet and places its own address information relative to a
network 40 in which it is going to send the packet, with the
packet.”

[0259] “A set of servers, preferably each being SIP servers,

provide call control and feature implementation to the
network 40 appliances. These are software servers running
on standard computing platforms, capable of redundancy.
These servers also run a local copy of the users contact
information database and users preference database.
Applications available on these servers provide access to
corporate or other LDAP accessible directories.”

standard, the terminal devices are Supported by one or

profile, presence, and various proxy services. These
servers are inexpensive Linux or BSD machines connected
to the LAN.”
[0229] “Most of the system 10 functionality is server
based, and is software running of the videophone 15 Proxy
Server, which is preferably an SIP Proxy Server."[...]"
With this configuration, videophone 15 terminals can make
or receive calls to any other videophone 15 terminal on the
network 40 and to any phones, which are preferably SIP
phones, registered on the network.”
