  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING MULTIPARTY PARTICIPATION AND MANAGEMENT FOR A TEXT MESSAGE SESSION
    Publication number: 20130165068
    Abstract: A method and apparatus provides for multiparty participation and management in text messaging sessions. The method includes a server establishing a text messaging session, which establishes a media path for exchanging text messages between a caller device and a single device having a device identifier known to the caller device, wherein the session is established in response to a call from the caller device. The server further joins multiple responding devices to the text messaging session, receives text messages from the multiple responding devices, and sends, over the media path to the caller device, a set of text messages based on the text messages received from the multiple responding devices.
