  • Method, computer-readable storage device and apparatus for establishing persistent messaging sessions
    Patent number: 10701116
    Abstract: Creating a persistent messaging session includes providing a web application that enables browser-to-browser multimedia communications, creating the persistent messaging session in response to a request from a user, and setting the persistent messaging session to an idle state when all users have exited the persistent messaging session, wherein the idle state is monitored by the web application. Joining a persistent messaging session includes querying a server hosting a web application that supports and tracks a plurality of persistent messaging sessions, using a set of search criteria, receiving a set of search results from the server, wherein the search results indicate that the persistent messaging session satisfies the set of search criteria, and joining the persistent messaging session, where the joining allows the first endpoint device to exchange browser-to-browser multimedia communications directly with a second endpoint device.
