System and method for transferring or rejoining a conference call from any device

摘要

A method for establishing a connection to a sequence-accessible call includes gathering connection data for establishing the connection to the sequence-accessible call including a phone number dialed to access the sequence-accessible call. The method may also include storing the connection data in a database, determining a presence of a proximity link, and transmitting the connection data to an information handling system.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
determining, at a receiving information handling system, a presence of a proximity link to a sending information handling system; receiving connection data for establishing a connection to a sequence-accessible call from the sending information handling system connected to the sequence-accessible call, the connection data including a phone number dialed to access the sequence-accessible call; initiating a telecommunications application at the receiving information handling system in response to receiving the connection data; receiving, at the receiving information handling system, the sequence-accessible call transferred from a sending information handling system via a communications network; determining whether the sequence-accessible call has been dropped; if the sequence-accessible call has been dropped, reconnecting to the sequence-accessible call via the receiving information handling system using the connection data for establishing the connection to the sequence-accessible call; and if the sequence-accessible call has not been dropped, the receiving information handling system is connected to the sequence-accessible call via the transfer from the sending information handling system, wherein the proximity link is a near-field communication link via a near-field communication antenna.
