System and method for managing media in a distributed communication network
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- establishing, with a communication processing server that is located in a first region, a media communication session with a first endpoint of a second region, wherein the communication processing server is a server of a communication platform system, wherein;
a first media service that is located in the second region processes media of the media communication session and generates data during the processing of the media, wherein the first media service is a service of the communication platform system, wherein the first media service processes the media based on a media processing instruction, and wherein the media is processed by the first media service independently of a latency caused by the generating of the data,the second region implements at least one resource, for the first media service, that differs from resources implemented in the first region,the platform system stores the generated data in the first region as a first application programming interface (API) resource, andthe communication platform system is constructed to provide an external system with access to the first API resource in the first region.

Abstract
A system and method for processing communication media in a regionally distributed communication platform that includes at a first platform region, establishing a communication session comprising establishing a media communication to at least one endpoint from the first region and establishing signaling communication to a second platform region; selecting a media resource in response to a change in media processing requirements of the communication session; when the selected media resource is outside the first region, routing media communication through a media resource outside of the first region; when the media resource is available in the first region, routing media communication through the media resource of the first region; and when the media resource is outside of the second region, storing the media communication in the first region at least temporarily and tunneling a branch of the media communication to a central media service in the second region.
