With reference to FIG. 1 for the flow chart of a telephone communication method of the present invention, the method comprises the following steps:

S11 Send a communication request signal via a first dialer.

S12 Receive the communication request signal by a server for sending a communication connection signal to a first telecommunication device and a second telecommunication device with a predetermined account number corresponding to the server according to the communication request signal to establish a communication connection channel between the first telecommunication device and the second telecommunication device.

S13 Use the first telecommunication device and the second telecommunication device to conduct a voice communication or a video communication.

The main purpose of the present invention is to operate the dialer and the talker separately instead of being limited to the use of the same device. In other words, a user can use different devices for dialing a number and talking respectively. When the user dials a call from a dialer, the server sends a service request to a talker which is the talker used by the same user and a talker used by the receiving party, so that the two can talk with each other.

The telephone communication method is applicable for the execution under Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP), and the server used can be a SIP server, and the predetermined account number is a SIP account number created by the server. However, the invention is not limited by the aforementioned arrangements. The first dialer and the first telecommunication device are provided for the same user to dial a number and talk with others respectively, and the second telecommunication device is provided for another user to talk with others. Wherein, the first dialer, the first telecommunication device and the second telecommunication device can be any device with a telephone communication function including but not limited to a computer, a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant or a television.

The telephone communication method of the present invention further comprises the steps of: designating the first telecommunication device as a talking tool and sending the communication request signal by the first telecommunication device; and sending the communication connection signal to the first telecommunication device and the second telecommunication device corresponding to the predetermined account number of the first telecommunication device according to the communication request signal via the server to establish the communication connection channel between the first telecommunication device and the second telecommunication device. More specifically, the telephone communication method of the present invention further comprises the steps of: using the first dialer to provide the user to select another user as a talking object, and sending the communication request signal by the first dialer; receiving the communication request signal by a cloud interface, and using the predetermined account number of the designated first telecommunication device as a search element to search the predetermined account number registered by the another user corresponding to the predetermined account number of the first telecommunication device; sending the communication request signal to the server corresponding to the predetermined account number by the cloud interface; and sending the communication connection signal to the first telecommunication device and the second telecommunication device of the predetermined account number registered by another user according to the communication request signal by the server.

Since each person usually has more than one device used for communications now, therefore it is preferable to have a plurality of first dialers, a plurality of first telecommunication devices, a plurality of second telecommunication devices and a plurality of servers to constitute the overall communication architecture for a multiple of dialing, calling and servo services. Wherein, each of the first telecommunication devices and second telecommunication devices corresponding to a respective predetermined account number registered and saved in a cloud interface, and each predetermined account number corresponds to a respective server, and this telephone communication method comprises the steps of: designating at least one of the first telecommunication devices as a talking tool and sending the communication request signal by the first dialer; using the predetermined account number of the first telecommunication device designated as the talking tool via the cloud interface as a search element to search the second telecommunication device matched with the predetermined account number of one of the first telecommunication devices; and sending the communication request signal to one of the servers corresponding to the predetermined account number according to the matched predetermined account number via the cloud interface, and then sending the communication connection signal by the corresponding server to the first telecommunication device and second telecommunication device are matched.

Another purpose of the present invention is to provide better communication service and quality to people. Accounts number registered and used by a plurality of users such as the SIP account numbers can be saved in the cloud interface, and these SIP account numbers correspond to one of their respective SIP servers. A SIP server and a SIP account number created by the SIP server and used by the user can be used to set the users in the same group or obtain the same communication service. For example, the service group of a SIP server includes the employees of a company, and the employees of the company have set their account numbers for communication and saved the account numbers by the cloud interface. If one of the employees wants to use his/her own dialer to dial a number to another employee, the cloud interface will find the corresponding account number corresponding to the employee who makes the call and the other employee who will receive the call. In other words, the cloud interface will find out the account number created by the SIP server of the company and will issue an instruction to the corresponding SIP server. Finally, the SIP server connects the talkers of the two employees through the corresponding account number found by the cloud interface, so that the two employees can talk with each other through the two talkers.

In addition, the telephone communication method of the present invention can be used for a three-party conference and the method comprises the steps of: sending a communication connection signal to a first telecommunication device, a second telecommunication device and other telecommunication devices with predetermined account numbers corresponding to the server according to the communication request signal by the server, and establishing a communication connection channel between the first telecommunication device, the second telecommunication device and the other telecommunication devices, so that the first telecommunication device, the second telecommunication device and the other telecommunication devices can conduct a multi-party voice or video conference.

With reference to FIGS. 2 to 4 for the first, second and third schematic views of a telephone communication method in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention respectively, the telephone communication system comprises a plurality of first dialers 10, a plurality of first telecommunication devices 20, a plurality of second telecommunication devices 30, a plurality of servers 40 and a cloud interface 50. The first dialer 10 and the first telecommunication device 20 are owned by the same user A, and the second telecommunication device 30 is owned by a user B as shown in FIG. 2. When the user A wants to talk with the user B, the user A can use one of the first dialer 10 for dialing a number and designate at least one of the first telecommunication devices 20 for talking. The cloud interface 50 receives a communication request signal sent by the user A from the first dialer 10 by the user and starts searching for the corresponding account numbers of the user A and the user B. After the search ends, the communication request signal is sent to a server 40 with the found corresponding account number. Finally, the server 40 sends the communication connection signal to the first telecommunication device 20 and the second telecommunication device 30 with the corresponding account number according to the communication request signal to let the user A conduct a voice or video conference with the user B as shown in FIG. 3. Refer to FIG. 4 for a clearer illustration. All of the first telecommunication devices 20 and second telecommunication devices 30 have their respective account numbers respectively, and all account numbers can be saved into the cloud interface 50. In FIG. 4, an account number set in the first telecommunication device 20 owned by the user A is created by one of the servers 40, and another set account number corresponds to another server 40. Similarly, an account number set in the second telecommunication device 30 owned by the user B is created by one of the servers 40, and another set account number corresponds to another server 40, wherein one of the account numbers set by the second telecommunication device 30 of the user B corresponds to one of the first telecommunication devices 20 of the user A, and the cloud interface 50 search for this relation, and then the corresponding server 40 connect this matched account number of the first telecommunication device 20 and the second telecommunication device 30 to establish a communication connection channel and let the users A and B talk with each other.

In summation of the description above, the telephone communication method of the present invention allow users to dial a number and talk with others through different devices and break through the conventional telephone communication mode to create a novel communication method. In addition, the telephone communication method let a user talk with an opposite part based on the same group or a certain communication range to obtain better communication service and quality.
