7403969, Jul 22, 2008

Filed:

May 26, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/853872

Inventors:

Wesley White - Kennesaw GA, US

Assignee:

AT&T Delaware Intellectual Property, Inc. - Wilmington DE

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709204

Abstract:

Prior to the intermediate host conference, an Intermediate Host Conferencing Module communicates a library of digital objects and the Intermediate Host Conferencing Module to an intermediate host communications device(s). During the conference, the intermediate host-resident Intermediate Host Conferencing Module receives a synchronization command and instructs the intermediate host communications device to communicate a synchronized object with presentation instructions to a downstream participant communications device and to present the synchronized object to the intermediate host communications device. Furthermore, the participant communications devices may communicate a synchronization acknowledgment back to the Intermediate Host Conferencing Module. The synchronization confirmation acknowledges a successful presentation of the synchronized object to the intermediate host communications device and/or to at least one of the downstream participant communications devices.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709204, 709248, 709227

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for conducting a peer to peer conference amongst remote participants. During the conference, a synchronization command is communicated from a host communications device to an upstream participant device and communicated to a downstream participant device. The synchronization command provides an instruction to present an object from a library of stored objects. An acknowledgment is then communicated to the host communications device. The synchronization acknowledgment confirms a successful presentation of the object.

International Classification:

H04M 3/42
G06F 15/16

US Classification:

37920201, 709204

Abstract:

Prior to a conference with a remote, mobile participant, a library of digital objects and a Mobile Conferencing Module is communicated to a memory device of a communications network. During the conference, the network-resident Mobile Conferencing Module receives a synchronization command from a host communications device, selects a synchronized object from the network-resident library, and communicates the synchronized object with presentation instructions to a mobile participant communications device. Furthermore, the mobile participant communications devices may communicate a synchronization confirmation back to the network-resident Mobile Conferencing Module. The synchronization confirmation acknowledges a successful presentation of the synchronized object to the mobile participant communications devices and may prevent the host (and/or network-resident Mobile Conferencing Module) from advancing to a subsequent synchronized object until the synchronization confirmation is received.

Assignee:

AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P. - Reno NV

International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

715751, 715753

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for conducting a conference amongst remote participants. During the conference an object from a library of digital objects is communicated to a participant communications device via a distributed computing network. During the conference the library of digital objects is downloaded to the participant communications device. During the conference a synchronization command is communicated from a host communications device to the participant communications device. The synchronization instructs the participant communications device to present another object from the library of digital objects. A synchronization acknowledgment is received from the participant communications device and confirms a successful presentation of the object on the participant communications device.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709204

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and products are discussed for conducting a conference. The conference is established amongst a host communications device, an intermediate host communications device, and a participant communications device. A command is communicated from the host communications device to the intermediate host communications device that instructs the intermediate host communications device to retrieve an object from memory during the conference. The object is communicated from the intermediate host communications device to the participant communications device.

US Classification:

709204, 709224, 709248

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for conducting a peer to peer conference amongst remote participants. Prior to the conference, a library of digital objects is communicated to an upstream participant communications device and is further communicated from the upstream participant communications device to a downstream participant communications device. During the conference, a synchronization command is communicated from a host communications device to the upstream participant communications device, and then, communicated from the upstream participant communications device to the downstream participant communications device. The synchronization command instructs the upstream participant communications device as well as the connected downstream participant communications device to present an object from the library of digital objects. A synchronization acknowledgment is then communicated from the downstream participant communications device to the upstream communications device, and the upstream participant communications device communicates the synchronization acknowledgement to the host communications device. The synchronization acknowledgment confirms a successful presentation of the object on the upstream participant communications device and on the downstream participant communications device.

Appl. No.:

Inventors:

Wesley White - Kennesaw GA, US

International Classification:

G06F015/16

US Classification:

709204000

Abstract:

Prior to the conference, a Concurrent Real Time and Distributed Computing/Objects Conferencing Module communicates a library of digital objects to at least one participant communications device via a distributed computing and/or distributed objects network. During the conference, the host communicates a synchronization command to the at least one participant communications device, and the synchronization command instructs the participant communications device to present a synchronized object. Then, a non-participant communicates with the host to join the conference, and in response, the host communicates a real-time object to the add-in participant communications device. Concurrently, the host analyzes a conference communications factor to determine a subsequent conference communications connection that leverages distributed computing and/or distributed objects of the conference network. Thereafter, the subsequent communications connection is established. Furthermore, the add-in participant communications device and participant communications device may communicate a synchronization acknowledgment back to the Concurrent Real Time and Distributed Computing/Objects Conferencing Module. The synchronization confirmation acknowledges a successful presentation of the synchronized object to the add-in participant and/or participant communications device.
