Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004049677
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Methods and systems (fig. 1, item 100) for establishing a computer-enhanced conference call are disclosed. Methods and systems consistent with the present invention establish a computer-enhanced conference call between a plurality of users (Fig. 1, item 110), including an initiating user. A service center (Fig. 1, item 106) detects a computer-enhanced conference call event that was previously configured by the initiating user. Conference users associated with the computer-enhanced conference call event are thereafter contacted. After at least one response from the conference users is received, a conference call between the initiating user and the conference users is established based on the at least one received response. The service center also establishes a collaboration between the initiating user and conference users that are authorized to participate in the collaboration.
