Abstract
Enabling unified communications capabilities in applications without the requirement to modify application programs to enable connecting to a unified communications capabilities infrastructure. Specifically, the invention provides systems and methods for enabling unified communications capabilities in web-based, or other, applications by monitoring the outbound data stream within a server, using pattern recognition algorithms to detect unified communication data items, and inserting control codes into the outbound data stream that will enable the unified communications functions around those communication data items. These control codes may initiate communications programs that have been appropriately addressed to contact the person or entity associated with the communications data item. These control codes may also enable initiating application programs not used for communications.
