Abstract

A unified communications system that promotes communications using an Internet protocol communications platform that receives telephone, fax, e-mail, and documentary information to aggregate that information for access at a single location by any of various devices controlled by a person to whom the communications are directed. The unified communications system employs an IMAP4 message store for e-mail, fax, voice mail, and document files and can access LDAP-compatible databases for user information (e.g., address books). Subscribers to a unified communications service powered by the unified communications system can access messages by telephone; through a standard Web browser; through a wireless device, leveraging WAP to read and reply to messages and SMS for notifications; and, additionally, via Internet phones and other Internet Access Devices (LADs). Users can also store and access files on network databases and folders via the Web browser interface.
