摘要:
Physical presence of a mobile device in proximity to a physical meeting place can be recognized. Identifying information can be retrieved from the device, and it can be determined whether the identifying information correlates to identifying information for a profile in an invitee list for a current meeting at the meeting place. If the retrieved identifying information correlates to identifying information for the profile in the invitee list for the meeting at the meeting place, then the profile can be included as an attendee at the meeting (e.g., by including identifying information for the profile in an attendee list). The identifying information such as the attendee list may also be used to perform one or more additional acts, such as sending notifications, personalizing settings, etc.

A communication manager establishes a call between two or more participants on two or more communication devices. The call can be an audio or video call. A call request is sent from one of the communication devices to conference an additional communication device to the call. For example, a participant in the call decides to conference an additional person further discuss an idea. An information manager gets a roster of the participants. In addition to the call request, the roster of the participants is sent to the additional communication device. The additional communication device receives the call request and the roster. The roster its displayed to the user of the additional communication device. The user can then indicate to answer the call request. If answered, the additional communication device sends an indication that the call was answered and the additional communication device is conferenced into the call.

A call conferencing apparatus, method, and computer program detect one or more events that are related to a conference call. The apparatus, method, and computer program then send one or more instant messages to one or more participants associated with the conference call. The one or more events could include, for example, a participant joining the conference call, a participant exiting the conference call, a participant failing to log into the conference call correctly, a participant transferring to another communication device during the conference call, a beginning of the conference call, and an end of the conference call.

According to the present invention there are provided a system, method and program storage device for establishing a connection for an endpoint (210, 212, 214) to a scheduled audiovisual conference between a plurality of participants, the plurality of participants connecting to the audiovisual conference from a plurality of endpoints (210, 212, 214), connections for the plurality of endpoints (210, 212, 214) to the audiovisual conference being maintained by a multipoint control unit (204), comprising: receiving a request at a conference control server (208) from a participant to connect an endpoint (210, 212, 214) associated with the participant to the scheduled audiovisual conference; obtaining an IP address or a telephone number for the endpoint (210, 212, 214); writing the IP address or the telephone number for the endpoint to the multipoint control unit (204); and communicating audiovisual conference data from the multipoint control unit (204) to the endpoint (210, 212, 214) via the IP address or the telephone number, thereby enabling the endpoint (210, 212, 214) to be connected to the audiovisual conference.
摘要:
An internet adapter connected with a conventional telephone has a problem that it cannot switch the connection, when the internet telephone cannot be utilized, to the public line and therefore it cannot make a call as an ordinary telephone. In a talking device adapter connecting the public line and an IP network, a public line signal transceiver unit (1100) inputs speech information and the telephone number through a telephone (10), and a destination identifying unit (200) acquires an IP address corresponding to the telephone number to generate path selection information and transfer it to a line connection switching unit (100). In accordance with the path selection information, the line connection switching unit (100) selects either the path of a public line (13) or a path from an IP network communication processing unit (5000) through an IP network (14), and transmits the speech information to a telephone (20).
摘要:
The present invention provides a system and method for managing calls for a subscriber, including accessing a calling plan while the subscriber is in an existing active call with at least one other party. The call is placed or received by the subscriber at a first device. At least one service feature of the calling plan is invoked during the active call. This service feature includes an add callers feature for adding at least one additional party to the existing active call between the subscriber and the other party. The service feature additionally includes a transfer devices feature for transferring the existing active call to at least one additional device of the subscriber and hanging up on the first device by the subscriber to confirm the transfer of the call to the additional device.
摘要:
In a method of including a further telecommunications device (5) in an existing call between a number of telecommunications devices already connected to each other through a telecommunications network (1), a signal requesting the further telecommunications device to be included is transmitted via a short-range communications link from one (4) of the devices. The requesting signal is received in a further telecommunications device, and an acknowledgement signal is transmitted in response to the requesting signal to the first device. The acknowledgement signal comprises identification data allowing a call to the further device to be established. The further device is connected to the already connected devices via the network by use of the identification data. In this way, the participants are released from the complex process of establishing the connection. Further, any device within the range of the short-range communications link can be included in the call.
