Abstract
Methods, products, apparatuses, and systems may facilitate a conference operation. The conference operation may include conference chaining, conference switching, conference modification, conference announcement, and so on. A collection of authentication data for a plurality of distinct conferences may be performed to chain the conferences. Switching among the distinct conference may be performed in response to a switch key code. The switch key code may include a general key code applicable to each of the conferences and/or a specific key code application to a specific conference.
Claims20
A computer program product comprising:
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium;
- and
- computer usable code stored on the non-transitory computer readable storage medium, where, if executed by a processor, the computer usable code causes a computer to:
- start to perform a collection of authentication data for a plurality of distinct conferences to chain the conferences in response to an initiation key code, wherein the authentication data is to include an access code;
- perform an identification of one or more of a buffer key code and a mapping key code interspersed with the authentication data, wherein the buffer key code is to include a general key sequence to demarcate the authentication data, and wherein the mapping key code is to include a key sequence unique for the authentication data;
- end the collection in response to a termination key code;
- and
- perform a switch among the distinct conferences in response to a switch key code, wherein the switch key code is to include one or more of a general key code applicable to each of the conferences and a specific key code applicable to a specific conference.

A method comprising:
- starting to perform a collection of authentication data for a plurality of distinct conferences to chain the conferences in response to an initiation key code, wherein the authentication data includes an access code;
- performing an identification of one or more of a buffer key code and a mapping key code interspersed with the authentication data, wherein the buffer key code includes a general key sequence demarcating the authentication data, and wherein the mapping key code includes a key sequence unique for the authentication data;
- ending the collection in response to a termination key code;
- and
- performing a switch among the distinct conferences in response to a switch key code, wherein the switch key code includes one or more of a general key code applicable to each of the conferences and a specific key code applicable to a specific conference, wherein a processor is to implement one or more of starting to perform the collection, performing the identification, ending the collection, and performing the switch.
