Abstract
In an embodiment, a method for providing information for managing a collaborative communications session may be provided. The method may include generating a first message according to a call control protocol; generating a second message according to the call control protocol, the second message including information for managing the collaborative communications session; and sending the first message to a call managing server. The first message may be generated to include the second message.
Claims25
A method for providing information for managing a collaborative communications session, the method comprising:
- generating a first message according to a call control protocol;
- generating a second message according to the call control protocol, the second message comprising information for managing the collaborative communications session;
- and
- sending the first message to a call managing server;
- wherein the first message is generated to include the second message.
A method for managing a collaborative communications session, the method comprising:
- receiving a first message according to a call control protocol;
- determining whether the first message includes a second message according to the call control protocol comprising information for managing the collaborative communications session;
- and
- in case it is determined that the first message includes a second message according to the call control protocol comprising information for managing the collaborative communications session, managing the collaborative communications session in accordance with the information.
An end device for providing information for managing a collaborative communications session, the end device comprising:
- a first generation circuit configured to generate a first message according to a call control protocol;
- a second generation circuit configured to generate a second message according to the call control protocol, the second message comprising information for managing the collaborative communications session;
- and
- a sender circuit configured to send the first message to a call managing server;
- wherein the first generation circuit is configured to generate the first message to include the second message.
A call managing server for managing a collaborative communications session, the call managing server comprising:
- a receiver circuit configured to receive a first message according to a call control protocol;
- a determination circuit configured to determine whether the first message includes a second message according to the call control protocol comprising information for managing the collaborative communications session;
- and
- a manager circuit configured to, in case the determination circuit determines that the first message includes a second message according to the call control protocol comprising information for managing the collaborative communications session, manage the collaborative communications session in accordance with the information.
A method for managing a collaborative communications session, the method comprising:
- receiving a message comprising an invitation to a not yet existing communication session;
- and
- sending a message comprising information for initiating a collaborative communications session in the not yet existing communication session before sending an accepting message comprising information indicating that the invitation is accepted.
