SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MULTI-MEDIA CONFERENCING BETWEEN UNIVERSAL PLUG AND PLAY (UPNP) ENABLED TELEPHONY DEVICES AND WIRELESS AREA NETWORK (WAN) DEVICES

摘要

A system and method of multi-media conferencing between Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) telephony devices and Wide Area Network (WAN) devices is provided. The method includes initiating a multi-media conferencing session with WAN devices by at least one telephony control point (TCP) in an UPnP telephony based home network via a session request. The session request includes session information, media capabilities of a telephony client device (TC) associated with the at least one TCP, a list of WAN devices or a conference group identifier associated with one or more WAN devices, and a subject of the multi-media conferencing session. The method further includes establishing the multi-media conferencing session between the TC and the WAN devices by a telephony server (TS) in the UPnP telephony based home network based on the session request.
