System and method for remote party restrictions in a communications system

摘要

A system and method for remote party restrictions in a communications system are provided. A method for controller operations includes receiving a request from a first communications device to replicate a media flow that is being transmitted to the first communications device from a second communications device during a session, where the replicated media flow is to be provided to a third communications device, and where the second communications device is operated by a remote user. The method also includes allocating resources to a transmission of the replicated media flow to the third communications device, notifying the remote user of the request, and determining a response of the remote user to the request.

1. A method for controller operations, the method comprising:
receiving a request from a first communications device to replicate a media flow that is being transmitted to the first communication device from a second communications device during an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem session, wherein the request requests that a replica of the media flow be provided to a third communications device and wherein the second communications device is operated by a remote user; allocating resources to a transmission of the replica of the media flow to the third communications device; setting up an access leg to the third communications device for conveyance of the allocated resources; after the allocating resources and the setting up the access leg, notifying the remote user of the request; determining a response of the remote user to the request; when the response of the remote user comprises an affirmative response, establishing control of a collaborative session at an application server that supports a user of the first communications device; and when the response of the remote user comprises a negative response, deallocating the allocated resources.
