Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A computer-implemented system is provided that facilitates implementation of a voice over IP (VOIP) application. The system includes a host system and a user interface (UI) host process residing on the host system. The system also includes an agent host process residing on the host system which is being configured to process a VOIP call received by one or more VOIP applications executable on the host system. The agent host process running as a foreground or background process for the duration of the VOIP call to (i) communicate with a VOIP server associated with the VOIP application, (ii) capture content from at least one input device associated with the host system and (iii) render content on an output device associated with the host system when an instance of the UI host process operates in the foreground.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented system that facilitates implementation of one or more VOIP applications, comprising: a host system; a user interface (UI) residing on the host system and configured to receive user input, and based at least on the user input, initiate and control VOIP calls, the UI being rendered by the host system when the UI is executed as a foreground process; an agent host residing on the host system and configured to process a VOIP call recei…
