Abstract
A third party automatically participates in a peer-to-peer communication session established between a first endpoint and a second endpoint. Once the peer-to-peer communication session is established, a third party receives a first user data provided by the first endpoint, and verifies the first user data. If the verification succeeds, the third party automatically participates in the peer-to-peer communication session.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method of participating in a peer-to-peer communication session between a first endpoint and a second endpoint, the method comprising:
- receiving a first user data from the first endpoint;
- verifying the first user data by a third party in response to the peer-to-peer communication session being established;
- and
- allowing the third party to automatically participate in the peer-to-peer communication session in response to the verifying.
A computer system, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a memory coupled to at least one of the processors;
- a network adaptor that connects the computer system to a computer network;
- a set of instructions stored in the memory and executed by at least one of the processors to enable the computer system to participate in a peer-to-peer communication session between a first endpoint and a second endpoint, wherein the set of instructions perform actions of:
- receiving a first user data from the first endpoint;
- verifying the first user data;
- automatically participating in the peer-to-peer communication session in response to the verifying;
- executing an application in response to a request sent from the first endpoint to generate an output;
- and
- sending the output to the first endpoint and the second endpoint through the peer-to-peer communication session.
A computer program product stored in a computer readable storage medium, comprising computer instructions that, when executed by a computer system, causes the computer system to participate in a peer-to-peer communication session between a first endpoint and a second endpoint by performing actions comprising:
- receiving a first user data from the first endpoint;
- verifying the first user data;
- automatically participating in the peer-to-peer communication session in response to the verifying;
- executing an application in response to a request sent from the first endpoint to generate an output;
- and
- sending the output to the first endpoint and the second endpoint through the peer-to-peer communication session.
