A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING RESERVATIONLESS CONFERENCING

摘要

A video teleconferencing method for providing reservationless conferencing. The method involves creating a conference profile (270); identifying selected connection parameters; allocating a dial-number (272); notifying participants (274, 276); determining if sufficient resources for the participant are available (284); and connecting (288) the requesting participant into the reservationless conference. Additionally, the video teleconferencing method allows the conference time to be automatically extended. This is done using timers and reallocating available resources when the original end of conference time arrives. The method also enables the conference to automatically terminate (286) after all conference participants leave the conference.
