Patent number: 8577006Abstract: Enforcing user-defined real-time communication session terminations can begin with a termination enforcement handler identifying termination conditions applicable to a real-time communication session hosted by a unified telephony system. The termination conditions can define a limit for an operational variable for the unified telephony system or the real-time communication session. The identified termination conditions can be evaluated. If a termination condition is satisfied, it can be determined which participants are to be disconnected from the real-time communication session based upon handling rules for the termination conditions and/or termination preferences associated with the real-time communication session. The termination preferences can be defined by an initiating entity of the real-time communication session. The participants can be notified that their connection to the real-time communication session will be terminated in a predefined time limit.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2012Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Sean Callanan, Ruthie D. Lyle, Patrick J. O'Sullivan, Fred Raguillat, Carol S. Zimmet

Patent number: 8407302Abstract: A computer implemented method manages meeting invitations to sub-invitees. A meeting coordinating computer detects a meeting invitation being sent from a meeting moderator's computer to a primary invitee's computer. The meeting coordinating computer intercepts a response from the primary invitee's computer. This response contains a request for a sub-invitee to accompany the primary invitee to the meeting. If the sub-invitee is initially authorized by the meeting coordinating computer to attend the meeting, then a request is transmitted to the meeting moderator's computer for additional authorization to invite the sub-invitee to the meeting.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2010Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Colm Farrell, Liam Harpur, Patrick J.
