Embodiment Construction

[0029] The present invention provides a system and software application that supports real-time identification and multi-use dissemination of who is speaking and enriched or system-enhanced presence information resulting from network-enforced multi-party conferencing session activity. The system and method of the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0030] FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a communication network 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein multi-party conferencing and usage of who is speaking data are supported. Communication network 300 is an aggregation of communication sub-networks bridged together for seamless voice-based communication between parties coming together over these networks. For example, in this example, a wide area network (WAN) 301 is shown and represents any corporate, private or public packet data network (DPN). WAN 301 may represent the well-known Internet network. Network 301 ma...

Abstract

A system for enabling controlled application of derived who-is-speaking indications related to activity of participants to a live multiparty communications conference or recorded outputs. The system includes a first node hosting a conference bridging switch, software or a combination thereof, having multiple conference input channels; a second node having data access to at least an output signal port of the conference bridging switch, software, or a combination thereof, and a software application distributed wholly to the first or second node, or in parts to the first and second node. The application is used to apply the who is speaking indications to output communications, data files, or data streams, forwarded to one of, a select potion of, or combination of, the conference participants, non-participant third parties, and one or more storage facilities.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the fields of analog and digital communications, and more particularly, to systems and methods for using data about who is speaking in a communications conference. The present invention enhances real-time identification of participants for commercial use in live or recorded conferences. Background technique [0002] The field of telephony communications has undergone and continues to undergo many developments and improvements related to the improved quality and usefulness of communications applications, both software and hardware products. [0003] One such development is the advent of conference bridges developed to support multi-party communication conferences involving participants utilizing various devices connected to the network from various network locations and from potentially different network segments. In the art, conference bridges are known, which utilize multiple input / output channels, by mixing one or mo...
