DATA COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM, COMPUTER, AND DATA COMMUNICATIONS METHOD FOR PARALLELLY OPERATING STANDARD-BASED AND PROPRIETARY RESOURCES

摘要

The invention relates to a data communications method, a data communications system (1), and to a computer (15a) for use in a data communications system (1), whereby the data communications system (1) has several clients (12a, 12b, 12c, 13a, 13b). The computer (15a) contains a telephone conference and/or video conference data processing device (20a), which supports a first data transmission protocol, and contains another data processing device (21) that supports both the first as well as the second protocol, whereby the second protocol is also supported by clients (12a, 12b, 12c, 13a, 13b). The data communications system permits a uniform resource management independent of the type and location of the connected resources and permits a uniform system control interface for monitoring both the H.323 standard as well as TDM/PCM-based proprietary resources.
