Abstract
This disclosure describes a bridge and control proxy for unified communication systems. The bridge transmits and receives data from a unified communication system. In addition, the bridge transmits and receives data from a non-compatible device. The bridge translates the data between the unified communication system and the non-compatible device. The bridge stores selected data such as presence information for later use by the unified communication system and/or the non-compatible device. Further, the bridge uses Web services to discover, promote, and/or advertise non-compatible devices to the unified communication system.
