Yahoo patents phone ‘native’ VoIP system

Yahoo might be more interested in VoIP that it does. The company has filed a patent application unveiling a VoIP system that doesn’t require any plug, any adapter, nor softwares to do the job.
An integrated VoIP unified message processing system includes a voice platform that processes data in native VoIP format. There is no use of hardware telephone interface cards (TICs) or software transcoding to transform data to PCM or other formats. Cost reductions are achieved by the elimination of expensive dedicated hardware and scalability is achieved by obviating the need for software transcoding.
Of course, this doesn’t tell anyhow this patent would articulate with Yahoo! Messenger softphone nor its cordless and cellphone partners like Siemens or Hutchinson. But this could lead to some voice-enabled search system or more sophisticated mobile applications ― if coupled with GPS.
