Voip analog telephone system with connection to home monitoring system

Abstract

A multi-port VoIP telecommunications system that allows the user to gain access to telephone connectivity through the Internet by connecting directly to the Internet or by connecting to the Internet through the existing Internet connection of a computer or cell phone device. The present system includes an Ethernet port, a Wi-Fi receiver to facilitate the transmission and receipt of Internet protocol signals wirelessly, a USB plug connectable to the ATA, connectivity to a home monitoring network and connectivity to Bluetooth devices.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A multiport Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) system for telecommunications, said system comprising:
 an analog telephone for transmitting and receiving sound;   an analog telephone adapter (ATA) comprising a rigid body, a central processor, a storage medium, a memory source, a network interface component (NIC), one or more USB ports, a plurality of Internet inputs, and a telephone port;   said analog telephone connected to said telephone port in for transmission and receipt electronic signals from the ATA;   said NIC being coupled to at least one Internet input;   and whereby said analog telephone handset communications are performed through the Internet.   
     
     
         2 . A VoIP system as in  claim 1 , wherein the ATA further comprises a first Internet input comprising an Ethernet port, allowing the NIC to facilitate the transmission and receipt of Internet Protocol signals. 
     
     
         3 . A VoIP system as in  claim 1 , wherein the ATA further comprises a second Internet input comprising one or more Wi-Fi receivers allowing the NIC to facilitate the transmission and receipt of Internet Protocol signals wirelessly. 
     
     
         4 . A VoIP system as in  claim 2 , wherein the ATA further comprises a second Internet input comprising one or more transceivers of the list comprising 3G, 4G, LTE, and Wi-Fi transceivers allowing the NIC to facilitate the transmission and receipt of Internet Protocol signals wirelessly. 
     
     
         5 . A VoIP system as in  claim 1 , wherein the ATA further comprises a port for communication with a home monitoring network. 
     
     
         6 . A VoIP system as in  claim 1 , wherein the ATA further comprises a port for a Bluetooth connection. 
     
     
         7 . A VoIP system as in  claim 5 , wherein the ATA further comprises a port for a Bluetooth connection. 
     
     
         8 . An analog telephone adapter (ATA) comprising a rigid body, a central processor, a storage medium, a memory source, a network interface card (NIC), one or more USB ports, a plurality of Internet inputs; said NIC being coupled to the Internet input; 
     
     
         9 . An ATA as in  claim 8 , wherein the ATA further comprises a port for communication with a home monitoring network. 
     
     
         10 . An ATA as in  claim 8 , wherein the ATA further comprises a port for a Bluetooth connection. 
     
     
         11 . An ATA as in  claim 9 , wherein the ATA further comprises a port for a Bluetooth connection. 
     
     
         12 . A method of initiating and sending a VoIP communication, said method comprising:
 providing a physical and electrical connection between an analog telephone handset and an analog telephone adapter (ATA);   providing a physical and electrical connection between said ATA and a power source;   providing a plurality of electrical connections between said ATA and the Internet;   causing said telecommunications device to transmit VoIP data through the ATA;   providing analog telephone communications between analog telephone handsets over the Internet.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the ATA connects directly to the Internet through at least one of a connection on a cellular network, a wired Ethernet connection or a wireless connection on a Wi-Fi network. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the ATA further comprises a port for communication with a home monitoring network. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the ATA further comprises a port for a Bluetooth connection. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the ATA further comprises a port for a Bluetooth connection. 
     
     
         17 . A method of initiating and sending a VoIP communication, said method comprising:
 providing a connection between a telecommunications device and an analog telephone adapter (ATA);   providing an indirect connection between said ATA and the Internet, wherein the ATA connects though a computer's existing Internet connection or though a device with access to a wireless cell phone network; and   causing said telecommunications device to transmit VoIP data through the ATA.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the ATA connects indirectly to the Internet though a computer's existing Internet connection or a device with access to a wireless cell phone network. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein the ATA further comprises a port for communication with a home monitoring network. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein the ATA further comprises a port for a Bluetooth connection. 
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein the ATA further comprises a port for a Bluetooth connection.
