Patent ID: 8279855

Claim:
A method for dialing between Internet extensions comprises implemented on a system that includes an upper SIP proxy server and a plurality of lower SIP proxy servers, each of the lower SIP proxy servers having a switchboard phone number, wherein each of the lower SIP proxy servers manages a plurality of Internet extensions, each of the plurality of Internet extensions has an extension phone number, the upper SIP proxy server connects with the plurality of lower SIP proxy servers by Internet, and each of the plurality of lower SIP proxy server connects with the plurality of Internet extensions under management by the Internet and waits for an Internet telephone message, said method comprising the following steps: a. once an Internet telephone message is received by one of the lower SIP proxy servers waiting for the Internet telephone message, the lower SIP proxy server receiving the Internet telephone message analyzes if it is a “call-in” or a “call-out” message; b. if the message is a call-in message, then the lower SIP proxy server receiving the Internet telephone message checks if there is a “-”; if there is a “-”, then the lower SIP proxy server receiving the Internet telephone message deletes the “-” and a switchboard phone number before the “-” to only leave an extension phone number after the “-”, and sends the message to the Internet extension; if there is no “-”, then the lower SIP proxy server receiving the Internet telephone message sends the message directly to the Internet extension and waits for a next message; and c. if the message is a call-out message, then the lower SIP proxy server receiving the Internet telephone message adds a switchboard phone number of the lower SIP proxy server and “-” before an extension phone number, sends the message to the upper SIP proxy server, and then waits for the next message; whereby when dialing between the Internet extensions, after dialing the switchboard phone number of an opposite SIP proxy server plus “-”, an opposite extension phone number is dialed directly so that it is not necessary to use a voice guidance for requesting dialing of an opposite extension phone number.
