Distributed system to intelligently establish sessions between anonymous users over various networks

A method of creating a communication session between first and second users in at least one server cluster, the method comprising the steps of:

• a client of the first user creating a communication session in a user server of the first user;
• the client of the first user encoding an address of the session into an invitation message;
• the client of the first user sending the invitation message to a user server of the second user, through at least one intermediate server;
• a routing service of the second user on the user server of the second user determining whether to ignore the message or forward the invitation message to a client of the second user, so that messages are not sent directly between users but instead via routing services thereof whereby the first user does not know which client the second user is using;
• the client of the second user accepting the invitation message and connecting to the communication session.

A method of establishing a communication session between first and second users, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing at least one server cluster, and providing a user server for the first user, and a user server for the second user;
• a client of the first user sending an invitation message regarding the communication session to the user server for the second user via a connection server;
• the user server for the second user determining whether to forward the invitation message to a PC of the second user or a mobile phone of the second user depending upon an online status of the PC of the second user, and the user server for the second user forwarding the invitation message to one of the PC and the mobile phone accordingly;
• the second user receiving the invitation message via the second the PC or mobile phone and accepting the invitation;
• and
• wherein messages are not sent directly between users but instead via routing services thereof so that the first user does not know which client the second user is using, the routing service of the second user determining whether to ignore the invitation message or forward it to a selected client of the second user.

A network comprising:

• a first cluster and a second cluster;
• each of the first and second clusters including a plurality of user servers in communication with a database, at least one connection server for connecting to external user clients, and at least one intra-cluster server for communicating with other clusters of the network;
• and
• wherein the clusters enable a first user connected to the first cluster to establish a communication session with a second user of the second cluster without the first user knowing an IP address or phone number of the second user.

A network enabling a communication session between first and second users in at least one server cluster, the network comprising:

• a client of the first user for creating a communication session in a user server of the first user;
• the client of the first user for encoding an address of the session into an invitation message;
• the client of the first user sending the invitation message to a user server of the second user, through at least one intermediate server;
• a routing service of the second user on the user server of the second user determining whether to ignore the message or forward the invitation message to a client of the second user, so that messages are not sent directly between users but instead via routing services thereof whereby the first user does not know which client the second user is using;
• and
• the client of the second user accepting the invitation message and connecting to the communication session.
