Abstract
In one embodiment, a method comprises storing information associated with a conference call that has previously been terminated. The method also comprises obtaining a request to re-establish the terminated conference call, and re-establishing the conference call in response to the request to re-establish the conference call. Re-establishing the conference call comprises using the stored information to set a first set of states associated with the re-established conference call.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- storing information associated with a conference call, wherein the conference call is terminated;
- obtaining a request to re-establish the conference call;
- and
- re-establishing the conference call upon obtaining the request to re-establish the conference call, wherein re-establishing the conference call comprises using the information to set a first set of states.
Logic embodied on a tangible media that when executed is operable to:
- store information associated with a conference call, wherein the conference call is not active;
- obtain a request to re-establish the conference call;
- and
- re-establish the conference call using the information to set a first set of states upon obtaining the request to re-establish the conference call.
An apparatus comprising:
- a conference call interface;
- reconferencing logic, the reconferencing logic being arranged to access information associated with a first terminated conference call, the reconferencing logic further being arranged to re-establish the first terminated conference call in response to a request, wherein the reconferencing logic is arranged to re-establish the first terminated conference call using the conference call interface and the information;
- and
- a first reconference key, the first reconference key being arranged to initiate re-establishing the first terminated conference call.
