Abstract:
A method and system state-of-the-art integration of a personal computing device with a private VOIP network and the PSTN (202) to control voice sessions on telephony devices (102, 106) of residential and business PC users across a geographic region shown. The unique integration of the personal computing device (226) with the private and public voice networks allows the PC user to establish a voice conference interactively on demand through controls on a personal computing device (226), avoiding the legacy method that required the end users to dial into a bridge number in advance or in real time via interactive tools provided on the personal computing device. On demand, the user can access reports interactively listing call detail and cost information for the user's calls.
