Abstract
A collaborative communication system comprises a highly flexible architecture that facilitates connecting communication devices and networks to establish multimedia collaboration sessions in a manner that allows distribution of various services and features throughout the collaborative communication system to provide scalability and selectable combination of cost, resource usage, and performance.
Claims43
A method, comprising:
- notifying, by a media switch, a presence service of a connection between the media switch and an endpoint, wherein the media switch is aware of the endpoint and wherein the presence of the endpoint is unknown to other endpoints;
- when a conference is not running, creating, by the presence service, a pending presence entry;
- and
- directing, based on the pending presence entry, at least one of the other endpoints to a conference service.

A method, comprising:
- when a collaborative communication session is not running, creating, by a presence service, a pending presence entry, and directing, based on the pending presence entry, a client endpoint to a conference service;
- when the collaborative communication session is running, determining, by the presence service, an endpoint for the collaborative communication session that is desired to be started or joined by the client endpoint when the collaborative communication session is running;
- and
- allowing a system to be aware of the endpoint, wherein the presence of the endpoint is unknown to other endpoints in the system.
1 more element
A system, comprising:
- a client endpoint;
- a presence service;
- and
- a media switch configured to notify a presence service of a connection between the media switch and the client endpoint, wherein the media switch is aware of the client endpoint and wherein the presence of the client endpoint is unknown to other endpoints in the system,
- wherein, when a conference is not running, the presence service is configured to create a pending presence entry, and
- wherein the presence service is configured to direct, based on the pending presence entry, at least one of the other endpoints to a conference service.
3 more elements
A system, comprising:
- a presence service configured to determine an endpoint for a collaborative communication session that is desired to be started or joined by a client endpoint when the collaborative communication session is being run;
- allow a system to be aware of the endpoint, wherein the presence of the endpoint is unknown to other endpoints in the system;
- and
- wherein, when the collaborative communication session is not being run, the presence service is configured to create a pending presence entry and direct, based on the pending presence entry, the client endpoint to a conference service.
