Networking between voip-and pstn-calls

Abstract

Programmatically reversing numerical line identity presented at a communications services gateway into named IP Telephony users with “prior association”, delivers dynamic “reverse address resolution” switching connections from ground to cloud, permitting any conventional telephone to dial and connect to any associated IP Telephony endpoint in the world, without changes to the conventional telephone. Reversing line identity into associated named users bridges both the addressability and economic divide between mass conventional “paying” (mobile and fixed) and “free”. IP Telephony networks. A system for supporting communications between a user on an IP-addressed-communications-device and a telephony subscriber device, the telephony subscriber device having a corresponding telephone number, includes: one or more service nodes configured to: receive from the user the telephone number of the telephony subscriber device and create an association from the telephone number to the user, wherein the association allows the telephony subscriber device to connect to the user.

1 - 134 . (canceled) 
     
     
         135 . A method comprising:
 receiving, by at least one processor from an Internet connected device of a first user, a call request to a contact, wherein the call request comprises a contact identifier identifying the contact and a caller identifier identifying the first user;   detecting, by the at least one processor, a numeric address in the contact identifier, wherein the numeric address is associated with a numerically addressed network;   generating, by the at least one processor, an association between the caller identifier and the contact identifier;   routing, by the at least one processor in response to the call request, a call to a second user on the numerically addressed network based at least in part on the numeric address of the contact identifier; and
 wherein the call comprises a call back number to the at least one processor. 
   
     
     
         136 . The method as recited in  claim 135 , further comprising:
 receiving, by the at least one processor, a call back request from the numeric address of the contact identifier via the numerically addressed network;   determining, by the at least one processor, the call identifier based at least in part on the association between the caller identifier and the contact identifier; and   routing, by the at least one processor, a second call to the first user on an alphanumerically addressed network based at least in part on the caller identifier.
