1. A method, comprising:
- establishing a communication session between a plurality of participants for a first media type using a first application;
after initiation of and during the communication session, determining that a second media type different from the first media type is desired;
establishing a second communication channel for the second media type using a second application; and
associating the second communication channel with the communication session, wherein the second communication channel is associated with the communication session by creating a link to the second communication channel based on information associated with the communication session, the link being dynamically created and incorporating information unique to the communication session, the link being to one or more dynamically-created write-enabled web pages for editing or viewing by the participants.

Abstract
The proposed invention provides a user-friendly way for people to turn a traditional in-progress voice-only telephone call into a multi-media call. This may be accomplished using various technologies that can be provided over the Internet or some other multi-media computing/networking platform. The multi-media aspect of the invention may be used to facilitate the sharing of additional information between the call participants as well as dynamically update security aspects (e.g., encryption keys) associated with call.

11. A communication system, comprising:
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions stored thereon and a processor configured to execute the instructions, wherein the instructions stored on the computer-readable storage medium include; a first application operable to support a first media type and establish a communication session between a plurality of participants using the first media type between at least two endpoints; and a second application that is operable to establish a second communication channel, wherein the second communication channel supports a second media type that is different from the first media type, and wherein the second application is operable to associate the second communication channel with the communication session while the communication session is in progress, wherein the second communication channel is associated with the communication session by creating a link to the second communication channel based on information associated with the communication session, the link being dynamically created and incorporating information unique to the communication session, the link being to one or more dynamically-created write-enabled web pages for editing or viewing by the participants. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
