    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a method and system for routing communications. A plurality of communications-enabled devices are coupled to a communications network. Each communications-enabled device has a device identifier. A user-programmable database associates each of a plurality of user identifiers with a device identifier. A router circuit is coupled to the communications network through a portal communication device having a portal identifier. A user designates a destination user identifier when making a communication. The router circuit switches the call, directing the call to a destination device identifier responsive to the user-programmable database association between the destination user identifier and a device identifier. According to certain aspects, communications are directed to users and are routed to associated equipment, a user identifier serving as a virtual extension number. Users remotely program the database to direct their communications to communications-enabled devices at various destinations.

    Abstract: In a CTI system, when a wireless terminal is called in response to a transmission request from a personal computer, a key telephone main unit adds to a call signal identification information indicating that a call is based on the transmission request from the personal computer. When the call is received, the wireless terminal judges whether or not the identification information is added to the call signal. When it is judged that the identification information is added, the wireless terminal automatically answers the call. Otherwise, the wireless terminal does not automatically answer. Thus, in case of transmission from a CTI application, operability and convenience are improved.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for establishing a telecommunications link (C1, C2, C3) for a user to whom a first communications terminal (D1) is allocated. According to said method, an allocation information is made available to a control program (100, 22) running on a CTI server (20) for establishing the telecommunications link (C1, C2, C3), in which information a first allocation (72, 92) is defined for the first communications terminal (D1) as specified by the user, said first allocation defining an allocation of a second communications terminal (D3, D4) to the first communications terminal (D1). The telecommunications link (C1, C2, C3) is established by the control program (100, 22) in accordance with the first allocation, using the second communications terminal (D3, D4) instead of the first communications terminal (D1). The method is characterized in that in the allocation information a second allocation (70, 90) is defined, by which the first communications terminal (D1) is signaled to the control program (100, 22) as being the only terminal used by the user in the telecommunications link established (C1, C2, C3). The invention further provides a corresponding system.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for establishing a telecommunications link (C1, C2, C3), controlled by a control program (28), with a second communications terminal (D1), according to which a CTI service is made available to the first communications terminal (36) by a CTI server (20) in a CTI domain allocated to said CTI server (20), and the second communications terminal (D1) is located outside the CTI domain and by way of a proxy (Trk2) situated within the CTI domain is linked to the CTI server (20). The control program (28) is linked to the CTI server (20) by way of an intermediate functional unit (30, 32). The intermediate functional unit (30, 32) signals to the control program (28) that the second communications terminal (D1) instead of the proxy (Trk2) is linked into the established telecommunications link (C1, C2, C3) as the telecommunications terminal. The intermediate functional unit (30, 32) instructs the CTI server (20) to carry out the CTI service on the proxy (Trk2) in accordance with the control program (28). Furthermore, an intermediate functional unit (extra domain device, CSP) can be implemented as additional server or middleware. The invention further provides a corresponding system.

Each communication device has a device identifier. A user-programmable database associates each of a plurality of user identifiers with a device identifier. A call-routing switch arrangement is coupled to the communication network through a portal communication device having a portal identifier. A user designates a destination user identifier when making a communication. The call-routing switches the call, directing the call to a destination device identifier responsive to the user-programmable database association between the destination user identifier and a device identifier. According to certain aspects, communications are directed to users and are routed to associated equipment, a user identifier serving as a virtual extension number. Users remotely program the database to direct their calls to communication devices at various geographic, voice mail and e-mail destinations.
