Abstract
Method to clone a communication session from a first device to a second device, including: receiving a request to identify the communication session; rendering an information message comprising an identification of the communication session, wherein the information message is configured to be transmitted from the first device; acquiring the information message from the second device to clone the communication session onto the second device; bridging the second device to the communication session without dropping the first device from the communication session, to produce a cloned communication session; and sending a confirmation message, wherein no prior association between the first device and the second device is used during the cloning.
Claims15
A method to clone a communication session from a first device to a second device, comprising:
- receiving a request to identify the communication session;
- rendering an information message comprising an identification of the communication session, wherein the information message is configured to be transmitted from the first device;
- acquiring the information message from the second device to clone the communication session onto the second device;
- bridging the second device to the communication session without dropping the first device from the communication session, to produce a cloned communication session;
- and
- sending a confirmation message,
- wherein no prior association between the first device and the second device is used during the cloning.
A method to clone a communication session between a first device and a second device, from the second device onto a nonparticipating third device, comprising:
- receiving via a first communication channel an information message comprising an identification of the nonparticipating third device;
- sending via a second communication channel a request to clone the communication session onto the nonparticipating third device;
- and
- receiving a confirmation that the communication session has been pushed to the nonparticipating third device,
- wherein no prior association between the second device and the third device is used during the cloning.
