US 2013/0094671 A1 · METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM FOR CROSS-PLATFORM CONFERENCE CONVERGENCE

Abstract

A method, an apparatus, and a system for cross-platform conference convergence are disclosed in embodiments of the present invention, where implementation of the method includes: receiving, after attending a first conference, an INVITE request sent by a first application server, where the INVITE request is a request for inviting a second terminal served by a second application server to attend a first conference; sending an invitation call to the second application server to request creating a second conference; and sending, after receiving conference creation success information sent by the second application server, an invitation to the second application server to invite the second terminal to attend the second conference. Usage of a private line between an enterprise and an operator can be eliminated in the entire implementation process.

Claims24

Dependent claims

A method for cross-platform conference convergence, comprising:

receiving, by a gateway device, after attending a first conference, an INVITE request sent by a first application server, wherein the INVITE request is a request for inviting a second terminal to attend the first conference and the second terminal is served by a second application server;
sending, by the gateway device, an invitation call to the second application server to request creating a second conference;
and
sending, by the gateway device, after the gateway device receives conference creation success information sent by the second application server, an invitation to the second application server to invite the second terminal to attend the second conference.

1 more element

A gateway, comprising:

a request receiving unit, configured to receive, after the gateway attends a first conference, an INVITE request sent by a first application server, wherein the INVITE request is a request for inviting a second terminal to attend the first conference and the second terminal is served by a second application server;
an invitation sending unit, configured to send an invitation call to the second application server to request creating a second conference, wherein the invitation call carries parameters for receiving media that are negotiated by the gateway device with the first conference;
a success message receiving unit, configured to receive conference creation success information sent by the second application server;
a parameter acquiring unit, configured to acquire, after the success message receiving unit receives the conference creation success information, transmission-related parameters used in the second conference, wherein the transmission-related parameters are determined by a second media resource server on the side of the second application server according to the parameters for receiving media;
and
an inviting unit, configured to send an invitation to the second application server to invite the second terminal to attend the second conference.

3 more elements

A system for cross-platform conference convergence, comprising two or more conference platforms on heterogeneous networks, and a gateway wherein the gateway comprises:

a request receiving unit, configured to receive, after the gateway attends a first conference, an INVITE request sent by a first application server, wherein the INVITE request is a request for inviting a second terminal to attend the first conference and the second terminal is served by a second application server;
an invitation sending unit, configured to send an invitation call to the second application server to request creating a second conference, wherein the invitation call carries parameters for receiving media that are negotiated by the gateway device with the first conference;
a success message receiving unit, configured to receive conference creation success information sent by the second application server;
a parameter acquiring unit, configured to acquire, after the success message receiving unit receives the conference creation success information, transmission-related parameters used in the second conference, wherein the transmission-related parameters are determined by a second media resource server on the side of the second application server according to the parameters for receiving media;
and
an inviting unit, configured to send an invitation to the second application server to invite the second terminal to attend the second conference.
