主权项

1. A method comprising:
receiving, at a telecommunications terminal, an invitation to participate in a telecommunications session, wherein participation in the telecommunications session requires availability of a set of resources of the telecommunications terminal; obtaining, by the telecommunications terminal, a measurement of use of a resource of the telecommunications terminal, wherein the resource is not a member of the set of resources, wherein the measurement of the use of the resource comprises at least one of a first indication of a usage of a hardware component, a second indication of a load of the hardware component, or a third indication of a utilization rate of the hardware component; determining, by the telecommunications terminal, an availability of a user associated with the telecommunication terminal based on the measurement of use of the resource; and generating, by the telecommunications terminal, a response to the invitation based on the availability of the user.
