Abstract

An adaptor serving for both a mobile phone unit and a private IP telephone unit is disclosed. A mobile phone unit is connected to the adaptor through a low power wireless system or a wired cable. A telephone unit controller manages resource data (data such as telephone directory, telephone history, and mail). A memory editor links a telephone directory of a mobile phone unit and a telephone directory of an IP-PBX in cooperation with a telephone directory controller of the IP-PBX. A VoIP extension line section provides the mobile phone unit with a function of an extension telephone unit in cooperation with the IP-PBX. A QoS controller is a circuit that performs control for minimizing loss of audio data due to communication congestion on a communication path (intranet/Internet). A charging circuit is a circuit that charges a battery of the mobile phone unit. The charging circuit contains a protecting circuit that protects the battery from being overcharged.

Claims (21)

1. An adaptor being connectable to a mobile phone unit through a low power wireless system or a wired cable and connected to an Internet Protocol—Private Branch eXchange (IP-PBX) through an Internet Protocol (IP) network, comprising:

a telephone unit controller which manages resource data of the mobile phone unit;

a Voice over IP (VoIP) extension section which converts a telephone number of the connected mobile phone unit, into a telephone number of a private IP telephone number corresponding to the input telephone number, and which calls a telephone number input into the connected mobile phone unit from the telephone number of the private IP telephone; and

a memory editor which links a telephone directory of the mobile phone unit and a telephone directory stored on the IP-PBX.

2. The adaptor as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising:

a Quality of Service (QoS) controller for performing control for minimizing loss of audio data due to communication congestion over the IP network.

3. The adaptor as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising:

a charging circuit for charging a battery of the mobile phone unit.

4. An adaptor being connectable to a mobile phone unit through a low power wireless system or a wired cable and connected to an Internet Protocol—Private Branch eXchange (IP-PBX) through an Internet Protocol (IP) network, comprising:

a telephone unit controller which determines whether the mobile phone unit is connected to the adaptor when a call to a telephone number of a private IP telephone is received;

a Voice over IP (VoIP) extension section which operates the mobile phone unit as a private IP telephone unit if the mobile phone unit is determined to be connected to the adaptor when the call to the telephone number of the private IP telephone is received; and

a memory editor which links a telephone directory of the mobile phone unit and a telephone directory stored on the IP-PBX.

5. The adaptor as set forth in claim 4 ,

wherein if the mobile phone unit is determined not to be connected to the adaptor when the call is received to the telephone number of the private IP telephone, the VoIP extension section determines if a forwarding is designated,

wherein if the forwarding telephone number is designated, the call is forwarded to the designated telephone number.

6. The adaptor as set forth in claim 5 ,

wherein if the mobile phone unit is determined not to be connected to the adaptor and a forwarding telephone number is not designated, the call is forwarded to a telephone number of the mobile phone unit and a telephone call is performed with the mobile phone unit.

7. The adaptor as set forth in claim 4 , further comprising:

a Quality of Service (QoS) controller for performing control for minimizing loss of audio data due to communication congestion over the IP network.

8. The adaptor as set forth in claim 4 , further comprising:

a charging circuit for charging a battery of the mobile phone unit.
