Abstract
A system and methods for controlling identity privacy in a communication session include processing, at a communication server, a request from a first participant of the communication session to add a second participant to the communication session. Based on the request, the communication server establishes a set of privacy rules related to the second participant that control sharing of identity information between the second participant and a third participant of the communication session.
Claims18
A method for controlling privacy in an on-going communication session, the method comprising:
- at a communication server:
- processing a request from a first participant of the on-going communication session to add a second participant to the on-going communication session, wherein the request further directs the communication server to establish a set of privacy rules related to the second participant;
- and
- establishing the set of privacy rules related to the second participant, which controls sharing of identity information between the second participant and a third participant of the on-going communication session, wherein the establishing the set of privacy rules related to the second participant is performed based on the request from the first participant and wherein the established set of privacy rules override any privacy rules and privacy settings that are requested by the second participant when joining the on-going communication session.
A method for sharing participant identity information in an on-going communication session, the method comprising:
- at a user equipment of a first participant of the on-going communication session:
- inviting a second participant to the on-going communication session;
- and
- directing a communication server to establish a set of privacy rules related to the second participant, which control sharing of identity information between the second participant and at least one other participant of the on-going communication session, and wherein the set of privacy rules override any privacy rules and privacy settings that are requested by the second participant when joining the on-going communication session.
A system for controlling privacy in an on-going communication session, the system comprising:
- a database that maintains identity information for a plurality of participants of the on-going communication session;
- an interface that receives a request, from a first active participant of the plurality of participants, to include an additional participant in the on-going communication session, wherein the request further directs the interface to establish a set of privacy rules related to the additional participant;
- and
- a processing device that, responsive to receiving the request, establishes the set of privacy rules related to the additional participant, which control sharing of identity information between the additional participant and a second active participant of the plurality of participants, and wherein the set of privacy rules override any privacy rules and privacy settings that are requested by the second participant when joining the on-going communication session.
