Benefits of technology

The patent describes methods and systems for automating conferencing in a communication session. This involves detecting an established communication session, notifying another device that it is available to join, and then receiving a request to join the session. The system then establishes a conference session with the first, second, and third devices. The technical effect of this invention is that it simplifies the process of joining multiple devices in a communication session, making it more user-friendly and efficient.

Problems solved by technology

The ability to easily join a conversation by just picking up a phone on the same line has been lost with the advent of mobile telephony.

Embodiment Construction

[0021]Embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods, apparatus, and systems for automatically conferencing additional devices. The embodiments discussed herein may include devices using mobile communications. One non-limiting form of mobile communications is Voice over IP (VoIP), which is utilized to establish and provide voice communications over a data network using the Internet Protocol (IP). Businesses and individuals implement VoIP by installing the necessary equipment and service (i.e., a “high speed” network or broadband connection) to access a VoIP service provider and activating this telecommunication service. Calls from a VoIP subscriber device to a destination device may be routed via a number of inter-connected networks, such as via the VoIP service provider network, mobile telephone service provider networks, and existing and traditional telecommunications system more commonly referred to as the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) or Plain Old Teleph...

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part of co-pending U.S. non-provisional patent application Ser. No. 14 / 058,918 filed Oct. 13, 2013, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]Embodiments consistent with the present invention generally relate to a method and system for automated conferencing in a communication session.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]A landline telephone (also known as land line, land-line, main line, home phone, landline, fixed-line, and wireline) refers to a phone line which uses a solid medium telephone line such as a metal wire or fiber optic cable for transmission as distinguished from a mobile cellular line which uses radio waves for transmission. Typically, in a home with a landline, when one phone was in use, another household member could easily join the conversation by simply picking up another phone on the same line....
