  • Patent number: 9503566
    Abstract: A method for protecting moderator access using a communication device. The method includes: displaying an interface for editing a conference call profile, the conference call profile including conference call scheduling information including one or more addressees for communicating with a conference call server, wherein the conference call scheduling information further includes a moderator access code and a participant access code; generating an indicator for the conference call profile for excluding sending of the moderator access code to invited participants; and storing the conference call profile including the indicator in a memory of the communication device. A communication device can be configured to perform the method.

  • Patent number: 9258338
    Abstract: A method, mobile device, and conferencing system are provided for automatically establishing a conference event having a plurality of invitees. In one implementation, a method is provided for determining whether an invitee of a conference event is a moderator of the conference event. The method also automatically establishes the conference event using a moderator code responsive to determining that the invitee is the moderator of the conference event.

  • Patent number: 9154631
    Abstract: A method for identifying a conference call from a communication device, wherein the communication device includes a memory for storing a calendar event record. The method includes: parsing at least some of the calendar event record, wherein the parsing includes an automatic discovery feature; determining, based on the parsing, whether the calendar event record includes conference call scheduling information in relation to a scheduled conference call session; generating, based on the parsing, one or more identifiers for at least some of the conference call scheduling information; and storing in the memory the one or more identifiers. A host communication device and a non-host participant communication device can also be configured for performing the method.

  • Patent number: 8699686
    Abstract: A method for join selection of a conference call from a communication device, wherein the communication device includes a memory for storing an event record. The method includes: identifying from the event record one or more addresses for contacting a conference call server for establishing a scheduled conference call session; automatically selecting, based on specified criteria, one of the addresses as a default address associated with a default join option for establishing the scheduled conference call session; generating an identifier for associating the selected default address with the default join option; and storing the identifier in the memory.

  • Patent number: 8688030
    Abstract: A service management platform for processing packet switched communications is provided. The service management platform has a component for handling voice calls. The component for handling voice calls comprises a first input/output for sending and receiving data packets associated with a first leg of a call, a second input/output for sending and receiving data packets associated with a second leg of the call, a monitoring component for monitoring copies of the data packets for commands contained within a payload of the data packets, and a relay component for directly relaying the data packets between the first input/output and the second input/output and for generating and forwarding copies of the data packets to the monitoring component.

  • Publication number: 20130109359
    Abstract: Aspects relate to pushing of content for use on mobile devices, and subsequent retrieval of such pushed content for concurrent presentation with voice and/or video data transmitted to the mobile device. The pushed content can be indexed and otherwise synchronized with the voice and/or video (or otherwise controlled by a presenter) through a group messaging channel. A calendar entry can include a link to the pushed content, such that activation of the calendar entry can also cause a content presentation application to load and begin presenting a portion of the pushed content. A link to local storage of such pushed content can be provided in such calendar entry. The content presentation application can monitor device events or interrupts in order to detect an event indication generated from the calendar application.

  • Publication number: 20120321060
    Abstract: Presented are systems and methods of creating conference calls from messages. A message is acquired that includes conference call details. A conference call schedule system is activated and generates a conference call invitation. Conference call dialing details are automatically acquired for the conference call invitation from a user profile. The conference call invitation is automatically populated, based on the activation, with the conference call details and the conference call dialing details. Additionally, the conference call invitation is sent to one or more invitees, where at least one of the invitees are also message addressees.
