Abstract
The present application relates to devices and components, including apparatus, systems, and methods for creating an Internet protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS) conference call with privacy controls.
Claims16
A method comprising:
- establishing, by a first user equipment (UE), a multimedia session with a second UE;
- processing a first session initiation protocol (SIP) message to transition the first UE to a hold state, the first SIP message received from the second UE;
- processing a second SIP message received from the second UE, the second SIP message is to add the first UE to a conference call, the conference call different from the multimedia session and associated with an Internet protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS) server associated with the second UE;
- processing a third SIP message received from the second UE, the third SIP message including information associated with the conference call;
- generating a fourth SIP message to be sent to the IMS server, wherein the fourth SIP message is to subscribe to a conference event associated with the conference call based on the information in the third SIP message;
- and
- processing a notification received from the IMS server based on the fourth SIP message, wherein the notification includes an indication of a list of participants associated with the conference call.
4 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- processing circuitry to:
- establish, by a first user equipment (UE), a multimedia session with a second UE;
- process a first session initiation protocol (SIP) message to transition the first UE to a hold state, the first SIP message received from the second UE;
- process a second SIP message received from the second UE, the second SIP message is to add the first UE to a conference call, the conference call different from the multimedia session and associated with an Internet protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS) server associated with the second UE;
- and
- process a third SIP message received from the second UE, the third SIP message including information associated with the conference call;
- generate a fourth SIP message to be sent to the IMS server, the fourth SIP message is to subscribe to a conference event associated with the conference call based on the information in the third SIP message;
- and
- process a notification associated with the subscription, the notification received from the IMS server, wherein the notification is to include an indication of a list of participants associated with the conference call;
- and
- interface circuitry coupled with the processing circuitry, the interface circuitry to communicatively couple the processing circuitry with a component.
8 more elements
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having instructions that, when executed, cause a processing circuitry to:
- establish a multimedia session between a first user equipment (UE) and a second UE;
- process a first session initiation protocol (SIP) message received from the second UE, the first SIP message to transition the first UE to a hold state;
- process a conference call received from the second UE, the conference call associated with an Internet protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS) server associated with the second UE;
- and
- process a second SIP message received from the second UE, the second SIP including information associated with the conference call;
- generate a third SIP message to be sent to the IMS server, the third SIP message is to subscribe to a conference event associated with the conference call based on the second SIP message;
- and
- process a notification received from the IMS server based on the third SIP message, wherein the notification is to include an indication of a list of participants associated with the conference call.
