SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ESTABLISHING AND CONTROLLING CONFERENCE CALL BRIDGES

摘要

Systems and methods allow an administrator of a conference call bridge to control who is admitted to the conference call bridge. The systems and methods also allow the administrator to identify a new individual who will become the administrator of the conference call bridge when a triggering event occurs. The systems and methods also allow an administrator to identify a new endpoint device from which valid control commands can be received.
