interface Telephony&nbsp;: EventTarget { TelephonyCall dial(DOMString number); // Returns a object in "dialing" state attribute boolean muted; // Should these live on the call/group? attribute boolean speakerEnabled; attribute any active; // Active call, for now. Could be a group in the future. readonly attribute TelephonyCall[] calls; void startTone(DOMString tone); void stopTone(); attribute Function onincoming; attribute Function oncallschanged; } interface TelephonyCall&nbsp;: EventTarget { readonly attribute DOMString number; readonly attribute DOMString state; // "dialing", "ringing", "busy", "connecting", "connected", "disconnecting", "disconnected", "incoming" attribute Function onstatechange; attribute Function onringing; attribute Function onbusy; attribute Function onconnecting; attribute Function onconnected; attribute Function ondisconnecting; attribute Function ondisconnected; void answer(); // Should this make the call the active one? void hangUp(); } interface CallEvent&nbsp;: Event { readonly attribute TelephonyCall call; }

We propose the waiting readonly attribute DOMString state because the extra waiting state helps the application understand that there has already been another ;// "dialing", "ringing", "busy", "connecting", "connected call. If we only have the ", "disconnecting", "disconnected", "incoming state, then the application will need to retrieve extra information to know whether there is another call or not. <br>"

If we only have the incoming state, then the application will need to retrieve extra information to know whether there is another call or not. <br /> </p><p><br /> </p><p>State transition in detail: </p><ul><li>Scenario #1: There is no other call on-line (current design)<br/>When a remote party dials, a new call is generated with its call index (no. 1), and the call state now is CALL_STATE_INCOMING.<br/>When user answers/hangs up the call, the call state is eventually pushed to CALL_STATE_CONNECTED/CALL_STATE_DISCONNECTED according to user's decision. *</li><li>Scenario #2: There is already a call on-line<br/>When the third party dials, a new call is generated with its call index. Since there is already a call on-line, the new call's index is no. 2. And the state of Call no. 2 is CALL_STATE_WAITING. When user answers the new call (call no. 2), its state is going to be transferred to CALL_STATE_CONNECTED. In the meanwhile, the state of the originally connected call (call no. 1) should be forced to CALL_STATE_HELD. |Answer()| an INCOMING call and |Answer()| a WAITING call are different. *</li><li>Scenario #3: User wants to hold a call when there's no waiting call<br/>User can |HoldCall()| to change the call state from CALL_STATE_CONNECTED to CALL_STATE_HELD. User can |ResumeCall()| to make a call from CALL_STATE_HELD back to <br/>CALL_STATE_CONNECTED.</li></ul><p><br/> </p><p><img src="/images/3/3f/Proposal_TelephonyCallStates.png" _fck_mw_filename="Proposal TelephonyCallStates.png" alt="" /> </p>[[Image<h3> Proposed Web Telephony API to hold a call </h3><p>interface nsIDOMTelephony&#160;:Proposal_TelephonyCallStatesnsIDOMEventTarget<br />{<br /> nsIDOMTelephonyCall dial(in DOMString number);</p><p>attribute boolean muted;<br /> attribute boolean speakerEnabled;</p><p>// The call that is "active", i.e. receives microphone input and tones<br /> // generated via startTone.<br /> readonly attribute jsval active;</p><p>// Array of all calls that are currently connected.png]]<br /> readonly attribute jsval calls;</p><p>void startTone(in DOMString tone);<br /> void stopTone();</p><p>attribute nsIDOMEventListener onincoming;<br /> attribute nsIDOMEventListener onwaiting; //new<br /> attribute nsIDOMEventListener oncallschanged;<br />};</p><p>interface nsIDOMTelephonyCall&#160;: nsIDOMEventTarget<br />{<br /> readonly attribute DOMString number;<br /> readonly attribute DOMString state;<br /> // "dialing", "ringing", "busy", "connecting", "connected", "disconnecting", "disconnected", "incoming",<br /> // Add new states: "waiting", "holding", "held", "resuming"</p><p>void answer(); //make an incoming call or a waiting call into <br /> //"connected"<br /> void hangUp(); <br /> void holdCal(); //change a connected call into "held"<br /> void resumeCall(); //change a "held" call into connected</p><p>attribute nsIDOMEventListener onstatechange;</p><p>attribute nsIDOMEventListener ondialing;<br /> attribute nsIDOMEventListener onringing;<br /> attribute nsIDOMEventListener onbusy;<br /> attribute nsIDOMEventListener onconnecting;<br /> attribute nsIDOMEventListener onconnected;<br /> attribute nsIDOMEventListener ondisconnecting;<br /> attribute nsIDOMEventListener ondisconnected;<br /> <br /> // attribute nsIDOMEventListener onincoming;<br /> attribute nsIDOMEventListener onholding; //new<br /> attribute nsIDOMEventListener onheld; //new<br /> attribute nsIDOMEventListener onresuming; //new<br />}; <br /></p>
