Abstract
The present invention provides a method in which when receiving an invitation request to a new PoC session, a PoC client participating in multiple sessions for which a maximum limit is set determines whether it is now participating in the maximum number of sessions, the PoC client notifies a user that the maximum number of sessions are used if the maximum limit is reached, and releases one of an existing session or the last requested session according to user selection.

A Push-to-talk over Cellular (PoC) server for PoC session substitution in a PoC system, the PoC server comprising:
- at least one hardware processor that checks a multiple session management setting in a PoC service environment, set by a PoC client, upon receipt of a PoC session invitation request to the PoC client and that routes the PoC session invitation request to the PoC client if a number of existing PoC sessions of the PoC client is at a maximum limit and the multiple session management setting is set to manual,
- wherein the PoC client releases at least one of the existing PoC sessions or the invited PoC session in response to the PoC session invitation request according to a user's request, if the number of existing PoC sessions is at the maximum limit and the multiple session management setting in the PoC environment is set to manual,
- wherein the maximum limit is greater than or equal to two, and
- wherein the client is engaged in the maximum limit of existing PoC sessions when the PoC session invitation request is received.
A method of managing multiple sessions which a Push-to-talk over Cellular (PoC) client is participating in, when a PoC invitation request to a new PoC session is received for the PoC client, in a PoC server, the method comprising:
- checking a multiple session management setting in a PoC service environment set by a PoC client;
- and
- routing the PoC session invitation request to the PoC client if a number of existing PoC sessions of the PoC client is at a maximum limit and the multiple session management setting in the PoC service environment is set to manual,
- wherein the PoC client releases at least one of the existing PoC sessions or the invited PoC session in response to the PoC session invitation request according to a user's request, if the multiple session management setting in the PoC environment is set to manual,
- wherein the maximum limit is greater than or equal to two, and
- wherein the client is engaged in the maximum limit of existing PoC sessions when the PoC session invitation request is received.
