Abstract
A dynamic video communications system provides real time provisioning of a video communication session in a domain video network between a set of user devices. The real time provisioning is implemented by receiving an identifier of a video communication session from a user device, where the identifier includes a domain and a name, determining an authentication principle associated with the user device, where the authentication principle includes a domain of the user, checking whether the domain of the user matches a domain of the video communication session, and joining the user device with the video communication session.
Claims20
A method of managing a dynamic video communications system with real time provisioning of a video communication session in a domain video network between a set of user devices, the method comprising:
- receiving an identifier of a video communication session from a user device, where the identifier includes a domain and a name;
- determining an authentication principle associated with the user device, where the authentication principle includes a domain of the user;
- checking whether the domain of the user matches a domain of the video communication session;
- and
- joining the user device with the video communication session.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored therein a set of instructions to be executed by a computer system, which when executed cause the computer system to perform a set of operations for managing a dynamic video communications system with real time provisioning of a video communication session in a domain video network between a set of user devices, the set of operations comprising:
- receiving an identifier of a video communication session from a user device, where the identifier includes a domain and a name;
- determining an authentication principle associated with the user device, where the authentication principle includes a domain of the user;
- checking whether the domain of the user matches a domain of the video communication session;
- and
- joining the user device with the video communication session.
A video communication management server to manage real time provisioning of a video communication session in a domain video network between a set of user devices, the video communication management server comprising:
- a network interface to enable communication with the set of user devices over a network;
- and
- a processor coupled to the network interface, the processor configured to execute a video session manager to receive an identifier of a video communication session from a user device, where the identifier includes a domain and a name, and to join the user device with the video communication session, and an authentication manager to determine an authentication principle associated with the user device, where the authentication principle includes a domain of the user, and to check whether the domain of the user matches a domain of the video communication session.
The video communication management server, wherein the video session manager is further configured to receive a request from a second user device to create the video communication session, to receive a second authentication principle from a user requesting to create the video communication session, authenticate the second authentication principle by querying a domain in the second authentication principle, and create the video communication session using the domain in the second authentication principle.
