Method and apparatus for merging call components during call reconstruction
First Claim
1. A first media gateway, comprising:
- a first communication information comprising;
a first node identifier identifying a second media gateway, the first and second media gateways handling a common communication, the common communication involving an inter gateway connection between the first and second media gateways, the common communication involving a primary communication server, and the first node identifier being further associated with the common communication;
a communication identifier identifying the first node identifier and the common communication, wherein the common communication is between a communication device in communication with the first media gateway and a second communication device in communication with the second media gateway;
connection state information;
termination property information;
wherein the first communication information is sent to a second communication server to reestablish the common communication with the second communication device if the second media gateway fails, wherein reestablishing the common communication further comprises;
retrieving the connection state and the termination property information;
constructing a temporary communication map;
saving termination property information with each termination in the map; and
a reconstruction agent populating the temporary communication map to reconstruct the records for the primary communication server.

Abstract
The present invention is directed to a secondary communication server 216 for assuming control of a communication formerly controlled by a primary communication server 212 in the event of a failure, comprising:
(a) an input operable to (i) receive, from a first communication node 204a, first communication information, wherein the first communication information is associated with the communication and comprises a first node identifier 236a and/or a communication identifier 240a, the first node identifier 236a is associated with a second communication node 204b, the communication identifier is associated with the communication, and the second communication node 204b comprises second communication information associated with the communication and (ii) thereafter receive, from the second communication node 204b, the second communication information; and
(b) a reconstruction agent 228 operable to identify the second communication information based on the first node identifier 236a and/or communication identifier 240a.

9. In a communication network including a first media gateway and second media gateway handling a common communication that involves an inter gateway connection between the first and second media gateways, wherein the common communication is controlled by a first communication server, a method, comprising:
-
the first media gateway maintaining first communication information, first communication information comprising; a first node identifier identifying the second media gateway and the common communication, the common communication involving an inter gateway connection between the first and second media gateways; a communication identifier identifying the first node identifier and the common communication, wherein the common communication is between a communication device in communication with the first media gateway and a second communication device in communication with the second media gateway; the first media gateway determining that the first communication server is unable to continue controlling the common communication; and the first media gateway transmitting the first communication information to a second communication server to reestablish the common communication between the first communication device and the second communication device, wherein reestablishing the common communication further comprises; retrieving the connection state and the termination property information; constructing a temporary communication map; saving termination property information with each termination in the map; and a reconstruction agent populating the temporary communication map to reconstruct the records for the first communication server. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
