`
`METHOD FOR ESTABLISHING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN TWO ELEMENTS
`CONNECTED TO AN INTERNET TYPE COMPUTER NETWORK
`
`Description
`[0001]
`The present invention relates to communications over Internet type
`information networks for data transmission and more specifically communications in
`telephonic mode for voice and data transmission.
`
`Through the Internet, PC type terminals can access data servers continuously
`[0002]
`connected to the Internet and to which a permanent IP address was assigned.
`
`PCs, since they are never called, do not need a permanent IP address. To
`[0003]
`call a server, the PC user first calls their Internet access service provider by the
`switched telephone network and their provider supplies a temporary IP address valid
`solely for communication which is going to be established with the server. The server
`can thus in return send the requested data.
`
`Such an operation avoids wasting addresses. However, it is not suited for
`[0004]
`communication to simple terminal elements such as PCs, telephone stations, fax
`machines or others without permanent IP address. The calling party in fact cannot
`warn the called party of their call so that the called party can connect on the Internet.
`
`The present invention aims to establish communication, through an Internet
`[0005]
`type computer network for data transmission, from a calling informat ion transmission
`element with an homologous called element without permanent address on this network.
`
`For that purpose, the invention relates to a method for establishing
`[0006]
`communication through an Internet type computer network with two Internet inf ormation
`transmission elements, calling and called, with call addresses for accessing signaling
`channels between the elements and able to access the computer network by respective
`computer addresses, the method characterized by the fact that:
`One of the two information transmission elements, calling and called, having called the
`other by a signaling channel by sending it the computer address thereof, it is in turn called
`by said other elements, but via the computer network at the transmitted computer addres s.

`
`

`

`2
`
`In that way, the computer network and the signaling channels are functionally
`[0007]
`integrated for forming a telephone type network, meaning all elements thereof can be
`reached directly. Establishing communication by computer network just requires the
`prior use of signaling channels without involving establishment of communication
`strictly speaking, while a possible tax will only represent a limited cost.
`
`It is thus possible to manage without any appointment server and any prior
`[0008]
`agreement as to a meeting time, because the communications are established in real time.
`
`In the case where the two elements belong to a single information
`[0009]
`transmission network, the call to one by the other and also the communication through
`the computer network can be done through the single network.
`
`[0010]
`
`Thus, the complexity of the elements and the subscription costs are limited.
`
`If the elements belong to at least two information transmission networks, the
`[0011]
`call to one by the other is done through one of the transmission networks and the
`communication through computer network can be done through the same
`transmission network or else through another of the transmission networks.
`
`In this latter case, signaling channels available in one of the netw orks, like
`[0012]
`the GSM network, can be used and communication established through the other
`network, if it offers a lower communication cost or higher throughput or transmission
`quality, for example the switched telephone network or the ISDN network.
`
`The invention will be better understood with the help of the following
`[0013]
`description of a preferred embodiment of the method of the invention with reference to
`the attached drawings in which:
`
`- Figure 1 schematically shows two telephone stations from the GSM
`cellular radiotelephone network connected to the Internet; and
`- Figure 2, formed by Figures 2A and 2B, is a flow diagram showing the steps
`of the method.
`
`Apple Inc.
`Ex. 1014 - Page 5
`
`

`

`3
`
`The information transmission elements to be connected are, in this example,
`[0014]
`two telephone stations 1 and 2 connected to a direct communication network 4. Here
`the word “direct” indicates that any station of the network can be reached immediately
`and autonomously, meaning without the help of another network and without
`appointment. In this example it involves the GSM cellular radiotelephone network to
`which the mobile stations 1 and 2 are connected by respective radio links 14 and 24.
`
`The station 1 is further connected to a computer network for data transmission,
`[0015]
`here the Internet 3. Since, in this example, the element 1 is a terminal and not a server, it
`is not permanently connected to the Internet 3 and therefore does not have a permanent
`IP address. The station 1 is in fact connected by a connector to a line 13 of the switched
`telephone network (STN) with which it can reach an Internet 3 access service provider
`31. The circuits for STN line and for data exchange with the Internet 3 are here integrated
`in station 1. As a variant, the circuits could be integrated in a box connecting station 1 to
`line 13. Moreover, as a variant the station 1 could be connected to the line 13 by a
`wireless link, for example through a radio base of the domestic network conforming to the
`DECT (Digital European Cordless Telecommunications) standard.
`And likewise, the element 1 could be connected by radio to the provider 31, preferably here
`by GSM network then replacing the line 13. If the provider 31 was only connected to the
`STN network and not to the GSM network, an interoperation center could then be reached
`by radio through the GSM network from station 1 for converting the GSM signals sent
`thereby into modem signals compatible with the STN network for reaching the provider 31.
`
`Station 2 is the one that will initially be called, and it does not have a
`[0016]
`permanent IP address on the Internet 3. Station 2 is likewise connected, by a line 23,
`to an access service provider 32 and the connection variants disclosed for station 1
`are likewise conceivable for station 2.
`
`The link 33 schematically shows the fact that two providers 31 and 32 can be
`[0017]
`called on through the Internet 3 in on order to connect the stations 1 and 2.
`
`The GSM network 4 comprises signaling channels allowing stations 1 and 2 to
`[0018]
`exchange information without establishing communication through a voice channel, which
`would be paying. In particular, they have the Short Messaging Service for that purpose
`with which to exchange short data packets or messages, called SMS, for a limited cost.
`
`Apple Inc.
`Ex. 1014 - Page 6
`
`

`

`
`[0019]
`
`In the conventional use, SMS messages are displayed on the called station.
`
`[0020] Here, these SMS messages are used for reaching the called station 2 from the
`calling station 1 in order to:
`- Provide the identity (call address) of the calling station 1; and
`- Order it to connect to the Internet 3, and
`- Call back the calling station 1 by one of the two networks 3, 4 by means of
`the identity received from calling statio n 1.
`
`If the callback is done by the Internet 3, the communication is then established. If
`[0021]
`in contrast, it is done by SMS, it then serves to send the temporary address IP2 assigned to
`the called station (2) when it is connected to the Internet 3 and the calling station (1) can
`then use it for establishing the desired communication through the Internet 3.
`
`Thus, for establishing communication between two stations 1, 2 through the
`[0022]
`Internet 3, one of the two stations, calling 1 and called 2, havi ng called the other by an
`SMS signaling channel of the direct network 4 by sending it the computer address IP1
`thereof, IP2 on the Internet network 3, it is in turn called by the other station 2, 1 via
`the Internet network 3 at the transmitted computer add ress IP1, IP2.
`
`The flowchart of Figure 2 shows various possible cases for establishing
`[0023]
`communication through the Internet 3.
`
`Calling station 1, steps 41 to 54
`In step 41, two call numbers N1 and N2 are obtained for respective stations 1 and
`[0024]
`2 in the GSM network 4. The calling station 1 possibly has a permanent Internet address
`IP1 and the called station 2 does not have any. Station 2, and, as necessary, station 1, can
`obtain a temporary address IP2 (IP1) from their provider 32 (31), which fu rther provides the
`physical connection for connecting the relevant station 1, 2 to the Internet 3.
`
`In step 42, it is determined whether the calling station 1 has a permanent
`[0025]
`address IP1 and, if not, the provider 31 is called therefrom over the line 13 in step 43
`in order to then, in step 44, connect or relink the station 1 to the Internet 3 (physical
`connection) and receive the required temporary address IP1 (logical connection).
`
`Apple Inc.
`Ex. 1014 - Page 7
`
`

`

`5
`
`Further, in step 52, an SMS signaling channel is opened from t he calling
`[0026]
`station 1 and, by sending in step 53 the called number N2 over the GSM network 4, a
`message is sent in step 54 over the channel to the called station 2, with a message:
`
`- Specifying that the station 2 must connect to the Internet 3; and
`- Providing an identifier for station 1 on at least one of the networks 3 and 4.
`This identifier can be the call number or address N1 (which exists in every
`case) or the address IP1 that is permanent (affirmative response to step 42)
`or that the calling station 1 will have obtained if the steps 42 to 44 were done
`before step 54. The addresses N1 and IP1 can be sent together in a single
`message or in two separate messages, for selecting in step 72 the reply
`network, in the called station 2.
`
`Called station 2, steps 61 to 78
`In steps 61 and 62, which follow step 54 and are homologous to steps 43,
`[0027]
`44, the called station 2 calls the provider 32 thereof in step 61 to connect to the
`Internet 3 and receive a temporary address IP2.
`
`Further, after step 54, it is determined in step 71 whether the called station 2
`[0028]
`has received just one identifier (N1, IP1) from the calling station 1. If not, having
`therefore received N1 and IP1, it is determined in step 72 whether to choose the GSM
`network 4 to reply to the calling station 1. This choice can depend on the way that is
`intended for managing the communication, for operating reasons (fees or other).
`Otherwise, since the called station 2 has the address IP1 of the calling station 1, a
`reply message is sent in step 73 on the Internet 3 from station 2 comprising the
`address IP1 in addition to an indication that it is sent in response to the call.
`Step 73 follows step 62 for connection to the Internet 3. Thus, the message can reach
`the calling station 1 and therefore establish the desired communication in step 74. An
`element (2) called in this way can for example send predetermined files to the calling
`element (1), for example an update of a database in the calling element: PUSH
`function. In practice, since communicat ion here is bidirectional, the reply message
`also comprises the address IP2 which will allow, at calling station 1, the sending of
`useful data messages or voice from there as well.
`
`Apple Inc.
`Ex. 1014 - Page 8
`
`

`

`6
`
`If step 71 is affirmative, since a single identifier N1 or IP1 was received, it is
`[0029]
`determined in step 75 if it is N1. If it is negative, IP1 having therefore been received, the
`method continues with steps 73 to 74 for establishing communication through the Internet
`3. In the affirmative at step 72 (choice of GSM network 4 ) or at step 75 (receiving N1), an
`SMS channel is opened from station 2 in step 76 and N1 is sent thereon in step 77 to
`reach the calling station 1 and the address IP2 obtained in step 62 is sent thereto.
`
`Calling station 1, steps 81 to 92
`After step 78, the calling station 1 receives the temporary address IP2 in step 81
`[0030]
`and, for reasons similar to those of step 72, it is determined in step 82 whether the GSM
`network 4 is going to be chosen for calling the called station 2. Otherwise, the address IP2
`is sent on the Internet network 3 in step 83 which establishes the desired communication in
`step 84. If one wishes, as in this example, to establish bidirectional communication, steps
`42 to 44 will have to be executed as before as needed. In particular, t he affirmative branch
`from step 82 here comprises an optional loop 85 with which for example to wait for the end
`of step 44 to have the address IP1 and then moving to steps 83 to 84 for establishing the
`desired communication through the Internet 3. Otherwi se, the step 85 is followed by a step
`86 of opening an SMS channel for reaching the called station 2 by sending the address N2
`thereof in order to send it the address IP1, either permanent or acquired in step 44.
`
`Called station 2, steps 91 to 92
`After the step 88, the called station 2 receives the address IP1 by an SMS
`[0031]
`channel in step 91 and it then sends it on the Internet 3, which establishes the desired
`communication through the Internet 3 in step 92.
`
`It will be understood that the diagra m in Figure 2 aims to show all possible
`[0032]
`cases and that in operation it can be simplified. In particular, the result of step 42
`(address permanent or not) is invariant for a given calling station and therefore only
`one of the two branches flowing from it is traversed.
`
`Thus, also for example, it can be assumed that the calling station 1 does not
`[0033]
`have a permanent address IP1 and that the steps 71 and 75 always provide an
`affirmative response and are therefore pointless: the method goes directly to step 76
`and the steps 72 to 74 are never performed.
`
`Apple Inc.
`Ex. 1014 - Page 9
`
`

`

`7
`
`Similarly, step 82 can systematically provide a negative response and make
`[0034]
`steps 86 to 92 pointless. Among the three steps 74, 84, 92 for establishing
`communication through the Internet 3 only the ste p 84 remains.
`
`In practice, each station 1, 2 comprises a microprocessor for automatically
`[0035]
`managing the above protocol and, once communication is established through the Internet
`3, for alerting the user in question. For that purpose, the final step s 74, 84, 92 are followed
`by a step of controlling a buzzer of stations 1 and 2 with optionally a message on the
`display of the station 1, 2 asking the user of the station to “answer” the station 1, 2 thereof
`for opening communication and establishing voic e or data transmission through the Internet
`3 connection thus established. Thus, establishing communication between stations 1, 2 by
`the computer network 3 is preferably performed automatically by the microprocessors
`thereof, and each station 1, 2 then actuates a notification to invite the user of the station 1,
`2 in question to open the communication. In that way, the time during which the above
`protocol for establishing communication takes place is masked and the user is therefore not
`disturbed during the above exchanges of signaling between positions 1 and 2.
`
`It is intended that any other network, wired or wireless, can be substituted for
`[0036]
`the GSM network 4 in so far as it offers a path for directly reaching one element from
`another in order to remotely command the element (or inform the user thereof) so that
`it connects to the computer network 3.
`
`In the example of the method according to the invention given in detail above,
`[0037]
`the two elements 1 and 2 implementing the communication method described belong in
`practice to a single information transmission network, meaning the switched telephone
`network (STN) associated with the GSM cellular network which uses the infrastructure of
`the STN network. The invention however also applies to cases where the elements 1 and
`2 belong to different communication or information transmission networks. One can
`therefore think of various telephone networks: i) wired, including cable networks and
`electric energy transport and distribution networks, or ii) radio, including satellite or
`cellular networks or for example the DECT network. In particular, the various telephone
`networks, for integrated services such as ISDN and cellular or satellite networks, have the
`advantage of comprising signaling channels with which to send remote command data.
`

`
`These channels send information packets or datagrams which are sent and received
`independently of the use of the associated telephone channel and can therefore be
`used even when it is in use for conventional communication.

`Description
`
`[0001] La pr6sente invention concerne les communi-
`cations sur des r6seaux informatiques de transmission
`de donn6es du genre de ('INTERNET, et plus particulie-
`rement les communications en mode telephonique,
`pour la transmission de la voix ou de donn6es.
`[0002] L'I NTERN ET permet A des terminaux du genre
`PC d'acc6der a des serveurs de donn6es raccord6s en
`permanence a ('INTERNET et auxquels a 6t6 aflectee
`une adresse IP permanente.
`[0003] Les PC qui, eux, ne sont jamais appeles, n'ont
`pas besoin d'adresse IP permanente. Pour appeler un
`serveur, l'utilisateur du PC appelle, par le reseau tele-
`phonique commute, d'abord son fournisseur de services
`d'acces a l'INTERNET et ce dernier fournit une adresse
`IP provisoire, valable uniquement pour la communica-
`tion avec le serveur qui va Otre etablie. Le serveur peut
`ainsi adresser en retour les donn6es demand6es.
`[0004] Une telle exploitation evite de gaspiller les
`adresses. Cependant, elle est inadapt6e pour des com-
`munications vers de simples equipements terminaux
`tels que PC, postes telephoniques, telecopieurs ou
`autres, depourvus d'adresse IP permanente. L'appelant
`ne peut en effet avertir l'appele de son appel pour que
`celui-ci le "rejoigne" sur ('INTERNET.
`[0005] La pr6sente invention vise a la mise en com-
`munication, a travers un reseau informatique de trans-
`mission de donn6es du genre de I'l NTERN ET, d'un equi-
`pement de transmission d'informations appelant avec
`un equipement homologue appele depourvu d'adresse
`permanente dans ce reseau.
`[0006] A cet effet, ('invention concerne un proc6d6 de
`mise en communication, a travers un reseau informati-
`que du genre de ('INTERNET, de deux equipements de
`transmission d'informations, appelant et appele, avec
`des adresses d'appel pour acc6der a des canaux de si-
`gnalisation entre equipements et pouvant acc6der au
`reseau informatique par des adresses informatiques
`respectives, proc6d6 caract6ris6 par le fait que :
`l'un des deux equipements de transmission d'informa-
`tions, appelant et appele, ayant appele l'autre par un
`canal de signalisation en lui transmettant son adresse
`informatique, it est a son tour appele par le dit autre equi-
`pement mais par le reseau informatique a ('adresse in-
`formatique transmise.
`[0007] Ainsi, on integre fonctionnellement le reseau
`informatique et les canaux de signalisation pour ainsi
`constituer un reseau de type telephonique, c'est-a-dire
`dans lequel tout equipement peut etre directement at-
`teint. La mise en communication par le reseau informa-
`tique ne n6cessite que ('utilisation prealable des canaux
`de signalisation sans impliquer l'etablissement d'une
`communication proprement dite, si bien qu'une taxation
`eventuelle ne repr6sentera qu'un coat limite.
`[0008] On peut ainsi s'affranchir de tout serveur de
`rendez-vous et de toute entente prealable quant a une
`heure de rendez-vous, puisque les communications
`
`5
`
`15
`
`sont etablies en temps reel.
`[0009] Dans le cas ou les deux equipements appar-
`tiennent a un reseau unique de transmission d'informa-
`tions, l'appel de l'un par l'autre ainsi que la communica-
`tion a travers le reseau informatique peuvent s'effectuer
`A travers le reseau unique.
`[0010] On limite ainsi la complexite des equipements
`et les couts d'abonnement.
`[0011] Si les equipements appartiennent a au moins
`10 deux r6seaux de transmission d'informations, l'appel de
`l'un par l'autre s'effectue a travers l'un des r6seaux de
`transmission et la communication a travers le reseau in-
`formatique peut s'effectuer a travers le m6me reseau de
`transmission ou bien a travers un autre des r6seaux de
`transmission.
`[0012] Dans ce dernier cas, on peut ainsi utiliser des
`c
