  • Patent number: 10764075
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, computer program products, and the like, for implementing providing a web conferencing service. In one example, the system and methods involve a real-time application programming interface (RTAPI) component in the telecommunications network. The RTAPI is configured, in one embodiment, to provide a platform through which one or more users of the telecommunications network interfaces with one or more conferencing components of the network. In one example, the RTAPI may be configured to coordinate a dial-out to a participant of a conference at a designated time such that the participant is entered into the conference automatically.

  • Patent number: 9386053
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, computer program products, and the like, for collaboration conferencing with multiple participants over a communications network, and more specifically for a conferencing routing service for managing and routing collaboration participants. In one embodiment, the conferencing routing server is configured to respond to a failure in a conference bridge to allow for repair to the network and/or account for split conferences that may occur due to the bridge failure. In one embodiment, the CCRS may account for moving a conference bridge into an offline state by removing the conference bridge from consideration for hosting a collaboration conference.
