I-softphone iyinxenye yesofthiwe efana nesenzo socingo futhi ikuvumela ukuba wenze, ukwamukela nokuphatha izingcingo zezwi phezu kwe-inthanethi. I-Softphones ngokuvamile isebenza kuma-computer, amaphilisi, i-PC, nama-smartphone, futhi kuyadingeka ukubeka izingcingo ze- VoIP (Voice over IP) namakholi wevidiyo.
Izingxenye zeSoftphone
I-softphone inezingxenye ezilandelayo:
- I-interface, eyenza njengesikhulumi sokuxhumana phakathi komsebenzisi nekhompyutha noma idivayisi. Inikeza umsebenzisi idijithi yokudayela ukudayela izinombolo, futhi kwezinye izimo, ikhibhodi noma ikhibhodi ukungena amagama abathintana nabo kanye nosesho olusha. I-interface ibandakanya nezinkinobho zokulawula ukuphatha izingcingo nobukhona. Isebenza ngokufaka okulalelwayo nokukhipha kwedivayisi ukuze udlale imisindo futhi uthathe umsindo ngesikhathi sezingcingo.
- Injini yokucubungula izingcingo, ngamamojula ku-API yokuxhumana evumela izingcingo ukuba zifakwe futhi zitholwe kwinqubo ethile.
- Iqoqo lama-codec evumela idatha yezwi ukuba ifakwe phakathi kwe-analog (njengoba siyizwa futhi njengoba sikhuluma ngokwemvelo) kanye namafomethi edijithali. Ama-codec aphinde aqede idatha ukuze bakwazi ukudluliselwa kalula kwi-intanethi.
- Uhlu loxhumana naye, oluhlu lwezinombolo namagama enza kube lula kumsebenzisi ukulandelela izinombolo kanye nabaphathi abathintana nabo.
Izinhlobo zeSoftphone
I-Softphones iye yavela eminyakeni edlule ekuthuthukiseni imboni yeVoIP. Ezinsukwini zokuqala ze-VoIP, i-softphone yayiyizixazululo zefoni yendabuko ngaphezu kwesikrini. Namuhla, zihlanganiswa njenge-interface esibalulekile yezinhlelo zokusebenza zokuxhumana.
Ama-Softphones ahluke ngokusekelwe ekusebenzeni kwawo, ngenhloso yokusebenzisa kwawo, ekuzikhiseni nasekubuneni kweprotocol engaphansi, nasezimpikweni ezinikezwayo. Isibonelo, i-softphone eyenzelwe izinhloso zebhizinisi kungenzeka ukuthi ibe ne-interface eyinkimbinkimbi futhi iningi lezici ezinamamenyu athile nezinketho.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, izinhlelo zokusebenza ze-smartphone nezingxoxo zinezibuko ezilula kakhulu neziyisisekelo ze-softphone ezidinga ukuthinta okukodwa noma ezimbili komunwe ukuze uqale ucingo.
Izibonelo zeSoftphones
Isibonelo esihle se-softphone yebhizinisi yi-Counterpath sika X-Lite engesihle kodwa egcwele izici. Inguqulo engcono kakhulu yi- Bria ekhokhelwayo.
Ngaphandle kwalokho, i-Skype ine-softphone efakwe ku-interface yayo. Njengoba kunikezwe ukuthi abasebenzisi be-Skype babonwa ngamagama abo womsebenzisi hhayi izinombolo, i-pad yokudayela ayivame ukusetshenziswa. Kodwa ngezingcingo ze-SkypeOut, lapho abasebenzisi kuzodingeka bafake khona izinamba zezintambo zomhlaba namadivayisi eselula abaxhumana nawo, isikhombimsebenzisi esibalulekile kakhulu sisetshenziswa. Ngokufanayo nazo zonke ezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza ze-VoIP.
I-softphones eyinkimbinkimbi eminingi ayifani nefoni enkulu, ngoba isebenzisa ezinye izindlela zokukhetha oxhumana nabo nokudayela. Ngokwesibonelo, amanye ama-softphone avumela abasebenzisi ukuthi bathi amagama oxhumana nabo futhi ngokusebenzisa ukuqashelwa kwezwi babeke izingcingo.
Nasi uhlu lwezinhlelo zokusebenza ezithandwa kakhulu ze-softphone nezinsiza.
