METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CREATING A VIRTUAL SIP USER AGENT BY USE OF A WEBRTC ENABLED WEB BROWSER
A method for creating a virtual SIP user agent by use of a webRTC enabled web browser comprises a user logging in to a web application server via a webRTC enabled web browser. The web application server uses the logged on user identity to lookup an associated SIP user identity along with a registrar server address and the web application server initiates a SIP registration procedure using its IP address as the registered contact.

8 . A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving, using a web application server, a user login sent via an WebRTC-enabled web browser of a first device;
identifying a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) user identity associated with the user login;
in response to identifying the SIP user identity, initiating a SIP registration procedure using a web application server address as a registered contact; and
initiating a communication session between the WebRTC-enabled web browser of the first device and a second device.
9 . The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , wherein initiating a communication session comprises initiating a SIP communication session.
10 . The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , further comprising:
identifying a SIP registrar server address; and
wherein initiating the SIP registration procedure is in response to identifying the SIP registrar server address.
11 . The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , further comprising:
receiving the SIP user identity or a SIP registrar server address from a user; and
storing the SIP user identity or the SIP registrar server address in a database associated with the web application server.
12 . The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , wherein identifying the SIP user identity or a SIP registrar server address comprises identifying using a user identity management system.
13 . The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , further comprising:
registering the web application server address as the registered contact.
14 . The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , further comprising:
selecting, using the web application server, one or more devices to which to route an incoming call based on a pre-selected destination;
extracting a media description associated with the incoming call; and
offering the incoming call through the WebRTC-enabled web browser.
15 . A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause:
receiving, using a web application server, a user login sent via an WebRTC-enabled web browser of a first device;
identifying a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) user identity and a SIP registrar server address associated with the user login;
in response to identifying the SIP user identity and the SIP registrar server address, initiating a SIP registration procedure using a web application server address as a registered contact; and
initiating a communication session between the WebRTC-enabled web browser of the first device and a second device.
16 . The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein initiating a communication session comprises initiating a SIP communication session.
17 . The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 15 , storing further instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause:
identifying a SIP registrar server address; and
wherein initiating the SIP registration procedure is in response to identifying the SIP registrar server address.
18 . The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 15 , storing further instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause:
receiving the SIP user identity or a SIP registrar server address from a user; and
storing the SIP user identity or the SIP registrar server address in a database associated with the web application server.
19 . The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein identifying the SIP user identity or a SIP registrar server address comprises identifying using a user identity management system.
20 . The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 15 , storing further instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause:
registering the web application server address as the registered contact.
21 . The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 15 , storing further instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause:
selecting, using the web application server, one or more devices to which to route an incoming call based on a pre-selected destination;
extracting a media description associated with the incoming call; and
offering the incoming call through the WebRTC-enabled web browser.
22 . A web application server, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause:
receiving a user login sent via an WebRTC-enabled web browser of a first device;
identifying a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) user identity associated with the user login;
in response to identifying the SIP user identity, initiating a SIP registration procedure using a web application server address as a registered contact; and
initiating a communication session between the WebRTC-enabled web browser of the first device and a second device.
23 . The web application server of claim 22 , wherein initiating a communication session comprises initiating a SIP communication session.
24 . The web application server of claim 22 , wherein the memory stores further instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause:
identifying a SIP registrar server address; and
wherein initiating the SIP registration procedure is in response to identifying the SIP registrar server address.
25 . The web application server of claim 22 , wherein the memory stores further instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause:
receiving the SIP user identity or a SIP registrar server address from a user; and
storing the SIP user identity or the SIP registrar server address in a database associated with the web application server.
26 . The web application server of claim 22 , wherein the memory stores further instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause:
registering the web application server address as the registered contact.
27 . The web application server of claim 22 , wherein the memory stores further instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause:
selecting, using the web application server, one or more devices to which to route an incoming call based on a pre-selected destination;
extracting a media description associated with the incoming call; and
offering the incoming call through the WebRTC-enabled web browser.
