System and method for dynamic redundant call recording
First Claim
1. A method of allocating recording resources in a system for real time redundant recording of call content, the system comprising a plurality of recording devices each comprising a plurality of recording resources, and at least two resource allocators, each recording device being associated with one resource allocator;
- the method comprising operating two resource allocators independently of each other to;
receive a request from a call receiving node in the system for commencement of a recording session;
in response to the request, query the availability of one or more associated recording devices to identify an available recording device;
after identification of an available recording device, establish a recording session between the call receiving node and the available recording device, and report to the call receiving node the address of an available resource at the available recording device to enable direct communication between the recording device and the call receiving node for streaming the content;
receive recording metadata for a call being recorded from a recording device; and
if the recording device is disconnected, upon reconnection with the recording device, query the recording device for unreported metadata for the call.

Abstract
A system or method for dynamic redundant call recording may include a plurality of recording devices, each recording device having a plurality of recording resources, and a resource allocator. The resource allocator may receive a request from a call receiving node for commencement of a recording session. It may then attempt to connect to a first one of the plurality of recording devices and if successful, establish a recording session between the call receiving node and the recording device, or if not successful, attempting to connect the recording session controller to a second one of the multiple recording devices. Two resource allocators may operate in parallel to establish dual recording using resources at two different recording devices. Call content may be recorded separately from call metadata and may be integrated with the metadata using a unique call ID.

7. A system for redundant call recording comprising a call receiving node, a recording system comprising at least two recording devices, and a recording controller;
-
wherein the recording system is configured to establish independent and separate recording of call content using two of said recording devices; the recording controller is configured to link call content with call metadata to enable retrieval of call content during recording; the recording controller is configured to receive recording metadata for a call being recorded from a recording device; and if the recording device is disconnected, upon reconnection with the recording device, query the recording device for unreported metadata for the call. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
