Abstract
A telecommunications method and system of floor control, for enabling at least one conference participant to access a shared object or resource for purposes of input. A floor control command signal establishes at least one floor control policy, and the floor control command signal includes a floor control language script for automatically determining the access. This access is determined based upon factors such as access requests and prior access history, without need for a floor chair.
