Abstract
A multimedia collaboration system that facilitates more efficient, free-flowing collaboration sessions. In order to make addition of new participants, media components, and or network access device to a collaboration session more efficient, client devices associated with each participant can store endpoint address information that can be automatically obtained by the multimedia collaboration system. The endpoint address information can then be used to add the new participants, media components, and or network access device.
Claims20
A multimedia collaboration system, comprising:
- a plurality of client devices in a computer-implemented network, each client device associated with a participant, of a plurality of participants, and having a corresponding endpoint address;
- and
- a server configured to:
- attempt to connect to at least one client device, of a plurality of client devices, based on a priority of an endpoint address of the at least one client device;
- and
- obtain information associated with the endpoint address of the at least one client device simultaneous with the attempt to connect to the at least one client device and the corresponding endpoint address;
- wherein a live document presented during a multimedia collaboration session is dynamically formed from a listing of presented materials for at least one of the plurality of participants.
A method, comprising:
- attempting to connect to at least one client device, of a plurality of client devices, based on a priority of an endpoint address of the at least one client device;
- and
- obtaining information associated with the endpoint address of the at least one client device simultaneous with the attempt to connect to the at least one client device and the corresponding endpoint address;
- wherein a live document presented during a multimedia collaboration session is dynamically formed from a listing of presented materials for at least one of the plurality of participants.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when read by a processor, cause the processor to:
- attempt to connect to at least one client device, of a plurality of client devices, based on a priority of an endpoint address of the at least one client device;
- and
- obtain information associated with the endpoint address of the at least one client device simultaneous with the attempt to connect to the at least one client device and the corresponding endpoint address;
- wherein a live document presented during a multimedia collaboration session is dynamically formed from a listing of presented materials for at least one of the plurality of participants.
