  • Patent number: 5369693
    Abstract: A telemeeting system comprises a terminal connected to the telephone network by telephone lines attributed to participant telephone sets. A console connected to the telephone set of one of the participants acting as organizer assists the latter in reflecting remarkable operations carried out by the terminal. These operations are indicated in a display board of indicator lights on the console and can be the result of commands transmitted by the organizer telephone set, such as a calling of a participant, inaccessibility of a line or the programming of a terminal operating mode, and of signallings such as the seizing or releasing of a line by a participant. The system also permits transmission of indications from each of the participants to the organizer, even if the participant does not have the right to speak, consultation of call number lists and time intervals of telemeetings in the terminal from the organizer, and automatic setting-up of participant calls for a telemeeting from the terminal.
