Command line caller

[gemma85]

Hello everyone,

I am a PhD student in Stockholm, studying VoIP technology. I am in the middle of writing my dissertation, about command line calling.
As I'm doing my researches, I've already found some very interesting research material, such as this page
It would be great to find someone to discuss this program, or maybe a whole group, because it would really help me with moving on.
Any advice is welcome!
Thx

Check for an example the below code to initiate a Skype/Gtalk call to a contact via a command/script which is the same used in Voip Technology:

#!/usr/bin/python
 
import dbus
import sys
 
# Get the target phone number (or SIP address) from the command line
TARGET = sys.argv[1];
 
# Configure the telepathy path to the SofiaSIP account that we wish to use.
# Use "mc-tool list" (from the libmissioncontrol-utils package) to see your accounts.
SIP_ACCOUNT = 'sofiasip/sip/_31234567_40sipgate_2eco_2euk0'
 
# This gets us a connnection to the session bus
bus = dbus.SessionBus()
 
# This sets up a path to the SIP account within telepathy.
PATH = '/org/freedesktop/Telepathy/Account/'
PATH += SIP_ACCOUNT
 
# This sets up a proxy object as a "handle" to the AccountManager of our target account
account = bus.get_object('org.freedesktop.Telepathy.AccountManager', PATH)
 
# This launches the actual SIP call with a method call to EnsureChannel on that object
account.EnsureChannel( \
        dbus.Dictionary({
                dbus.String(u'org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.TargetHandleType'): dbus.UInt32(1),
                dbus.String(u'org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.ChannelType'): dbus.String(u'org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.Type.StreamedMedia'),
                dbus.String(u'org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.TargetID'): dbus.String(TARGET),
        }, signature='sv'),
        dbus.UInt64(0),
        dbus.String(''),
        dbus_interface='com.nokia.Account.Interface.ChannelRequests')
 
sys.exit(0)
