IDENTIFYING PARTICIPANTS IN A CONFERENCE

摘要

A method of obtaining data about all the participants in a Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP) conference is provided. The method comprises sending a query message from a floor participant or floor chair to a floor control server, the query message requesting information about all of the participants in the conference, and sending at least one status message from the floor control server to the floor participant, the at least one status message including information about all of the participants in the conference. These operations are performed within BFCP.
