Abstract
A communications apparatus is configured to bridge modalities and different communications formats. The apparatus may include a bridge to receive an input through a modality gateway and to deliver an output through an output channel, a communication engine configured to manipulate the input into the output, a router configured to route the configured output to a respective output channel, and a controller configured to control the bridge. The controller may determine a new modality depending on a context of the communications apparatus.
