Abstract:
A configurable, multi-function IP-based communication product has a touch screen display and common hardware set form factor that can be configured for use in any of a plurality of operational modes and can be ruggedized for use in harsh environments. The common hardware set form factor enables the IP-based communication product to be optimized for commercial use, that is, easily adapted for different applications and environments using a minimal number of housing configurations or features (e.g., tactile buttons or dials). The operational modes can include, but are not limited to, VoIP telephone, video streaming for video calls, intercom, alarm activation for a central public address/general alarm (PA/GA) system, a “serverless” page-party (SP2) system, voice product with FLASH, product with conference function, on-board communications device, and so on.

Claim (Index 1):
A configurable, multi-function voice over internet protocol (VoIP) unit comprising:\n a VoIP control module for controlling VoIP operations of the VoIP unit with respect to other VoIP units in an Internet Protocol (IP) network, the VoIP control module being configured to operate the VoIP unit in a plurality of modes by selectively participating in at least one of point-to-point communication between the VoIP unit and another one of the VoIP units in the IP network and multicast communication between the VoIP unit and a plurality of the VoIP units depending on which of the plurality of modes the VoIP unit is currently operating in, the plurality of modes comprising at least two of VoIP telephone mode, serverless page-party (SP2) station mode, access panel mode, serverless point-to-point intercom mode, party line call mode, and video call mode; a speaker coupled to the VoIP control module and configured for audio output; a microphone coupled to the VoIP control module and configured to receive audio input; a touch screen display coupled to the VoIP control module and configured to operate a graphical user interface to generate display screens corresponding to the currently selected one of the plurality of modes and to receive user inputs via the display screens; and an IP network interface module connected to the VoIP control module and the IP network and configured to exchange bi-directional Ethernet data between the IP network and the VoIP control module and to condition audio signals received the IP network for output via the speaker and to condition audio signals input via the microphone for transmission via the IP network.
