Abstract: In one example, a communications system and platform communications platform: provides data communications services, over at least one of the plurality of communication networks, involving a plurality of different or disparate communications systems respectively associated with a plurality of respectively different formats to a plurality of communication user-operable devices each of which has a user interface for communicating information; conveys the data communications services via a browser and to establish an electronic meeting between multiple individuals, the electronic meeting providing access to a plurality of different types of content, or of different format types; and generates, in response to the electronic meeting being established, a status message that is associated with the electronic meeting, that provides an update message to at least a subset of the plurality of communications systems, and that provides information regarding possible availability of an individual for participating in the e

Abstract: Meeting and conferencing systems and methods are implemented in a variety of manners. Consistent with one embodiment of the present disclosure, an audio conference system includes communications circuitry and a caller interface, each associated with setting up or managing the audio conference. Menu options may be provided to validate or authenticate incoming telephony calls. In response to a selection of the menu options, an incoming telephony call may be prompted to select a callback number, and then the system monitors for a trigger event. A participant is contacted in response to detecting the trigger event, and the contacted participant is then placed into the audio conference.

Abstract: Meeting and conferencing systems and methods are implemented in a variety of manners. Consistent with an embodiment of the present disclosure, a meeting system is implemented via a computer server which is configured to provide a web-based meeting-group subscription option to potential meeting participants. A meeting scheduling data is received over a web-accessible virtual meeting interface. The meeting scheduling data includes group identification information and meeting time information. In response to the group identification information, participant identification information is retrieved for participants that become associated with a meeting group identified by the group identification information. Chat sessions may be used by the meeting participants.

Abstract: A system or device can be configured with a first interface to provide content to a remote web-browser. This first interface can be provided by a computer server designed to implement a website. A second interface is configured and arranged to communicate content of an IP-based conference with a remote IP-enabled device. This second interface may also communicate video content, text content, document sharing content and/or desktop sharing content. A computer processing circuit is configured to establish an IP-based call between the remote web-browser and the remote audio-enabled device.

Abstract: Meeting and conferencing systems and methods are implemented in a variety of manners. Consistent with one embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for operating an audio conference system that includes at least one logic circuit and a caller interface involves receiving incoming telephony calls at the caller interface. A logic circuit is used to authenticate incoming telephony calls. Menu options are provided to authenticated, incoming telephony calls. In response to a selection of the menu options, an incoming telephony call is prompted to select a callback number. The logic circuit monitors for a trigger event. A participant is called back using the selected call back number in response to detecting the trigger event. The called-back participant is then placed into a conference.

Abstract: A system or device can be configured with a first interface that is configured and arranged to provide content to a remote web-browser. This first interface can be provided by a computer server designed to implement a website. A second interface is configured and arranged to communicate content of an audio telephone calls with a remote audio-enabled device. This second interface can also communicate video content, text content, document sharing content and/or desktop sharing content. A processing circuit is configured and arranged to establish an audio telephone call between the remote web-browser and the remote audio-enabled device. The processing circuit can also facilitate communications with social networks by passing a general status message to a plurality of interface modules, each interface module designed to interface with a corresponding and respective social network.

Abstract: Meeting and conferencing systems and methods are implemented in a variety of manners.
