Patent number: 11997074Abstract: A request is received by a videoconference instantiation server to initiate a videoconference among a plurality of participants. Thereafter, the videoconference instantiation server requests provision of an on-demand computing network. The videoconference server is then instantiated in the on-demand computing network. A plurality of inbound proxies are generated which are configured to communicate with the videoconference server. The inbound proxies obfuscate administrative data passing therethrough. In addition, a plurality of portal proxies are generated that each are configured to communicate with a different one of the inbound proxies. The videoconference instantiation server then generates a unique access path to a different one of the portal proxies for each of the participants. The portal proxies, when accessed, allow the corresponding participant to access a videoconference being executed by the videoconference server.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2021Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: Cyber IP Holdings, LLCInventors: Christopher Edward Delaney, Carl Bailey Jacobs, Chava Louis Jurado, Michael Vincent Chest
