A communication management system operates with a packet switched local area network and includes a PSTN interface for communicating over a telephone line with a service provider central office. The system comprises means for establishing a logical channel over the packet switched local area network to support a real time communication session with a real time communication device in response to receiving session signaling from the real time communication device; means for controlling the PSTN interface to transition the telephone line to an off hook state in response to receiving session signaling; and translation means for providing digital audio over the logical channel, the digital audio representing a dial tone received on the telephone line from the central office and providing one of a plurality of dual tone multi frequency signals on the telephone line in response to receipt of data from the real time communication device corresponding to the one of a plurality of dual tone multi frequency signals.

Multimedia communication management system with line status notification for key switch emulation

The multi-media communication management system comprises a controller that interfaces with a plurality of communication space stations and with one or more communication medium service providers. The controller provides for multicasting or real time voice communications to selected recipients. To provide such multicasting, the controller receives a recipient list of subscribers to include in the multicast session. The controller identifies a communication space station serving a subscriber device associated with each recipient and invites such communication space station to the multicast session. If a recipient's subscriber device is not served by a communication space station, the multicast message is packaged as an audio file and sent to the recipient by e-mail.

Multi-media communication management system with multicast messaging capabilities

The present multi-media communication management system comprises a controller that interfaces with a plurality of space station communication devices and with one or more communication medium service providers. The controller translates multi-media communications received from a multi-media service provider into the protocols required for use by the space station communication devices as well as any convention telephone stations that may be coupled to the controller. The communication and control signaling between the controller and the space station communication devices may be wireless in nature with the space station communication devices being powered by an internal battery and/or connection to a local source of conventional line voltage. Modular docking interfaces may be used to couple the space station communication device to portable subscriber devices and to enable integrated and coordinated communication through multiple communication medium service providers.

Modular multi-media communication management system

The present multi-media subscriber station has control unit and a plurality of communication devices. Each communication device includes speed dial controls which, when activated but a user, provide for establishing a communication session to a communication end point associated with the speed dial control. Each speed dial control is associated with a programmable image display on which an image associated with the communication end point may be displayed.

Multi-media communication system having programmable speed dial control indicia

A desk top telephone includes a network interface circuit for audio session set up and audio session communication with a remote telephone device. A display device docking bay accommodates a simple display screen or a portable computing device such as a portable data device (PDA). Each of a plurality of adapters coupled one of the modular display screens or a PDA to the docking bay. Each of the module display screens and PDAs can have various display sizes, resolutions, and color/gray-scale combinations.

Teledata space and docking station with modular and integrated display

The multi-media communication management system comprises a controller that interfaces with a subscriber station that includes an interface for coupling to a subscriber device. The subscriber device receives subscriber emails over a wide area network communication link to an email server. The system comprises a email interface system for establishing communications with a remote email server coupled to a service provider network and receiving subscriber emails directed to the remote email server and a subscriber device email interface system for establishing communications with the subscriber station at which a subscriber device is coupled and receiving subscriber emails that were provided to the subscriber device over the wide area network. The system generates inbox content and provides the inbox content to the subscriber station for display on a display associated with the subscriber station. The inbox content comprises both subscriber emails provided to the subscriber device and subscriber emails directed to the remote email server.
