Methods and systems for providing location-sensitive conference calling

摘要

Systems and methods for providing location based conference calling services on communications networks. Location information relating to a device is passed to a location sensitive conference calling system. The location sensitive conference calling system uses the location information to identify a conference calling system, or a conference bridge associated with a conference calling system, to which to connect the device. The device is connected with the conference calling system, or a conference bridge associated with the conference calling system.

主权项

1. A location-sensitive conference-data-session system, comprising:
a processor; and a computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
establishing a peer-to-peer data session between the location-sensitive conference-data-session system and a mobile communications device;receiving, by way of the peer-to-peer data session, directly from the mobile communications device, a geographic-location communication comprising geographic-location information indicating a geographic location of the mobile communications device;identifying, using the geographic-location information of the geographic-location communication received, a conference-data-session system component to which to connect the geographic-location communication;receiving, by way of the peer-to-peer data session, directly from the mobile communications device, user information comprising data identifying the mobile communications device; andinitiating, using the geographic-location information received and the user-information received, establishing a second data session, to use voice over internet protocol, between the mobile communications device and the conference-data-session system component identified.
