1. A method comprising:
- initiating a dynamic group call, the dynamic group call including at least one original participant, wherein the dynamic group call is initiated to enable automatically adding at least one new participant to the dynamic group call;
detecting a call alert;
identifying a user system responsible for the call alert, wherein identifying the user system includes obtaining an indicator from the call alert, the indicator being associated with the user system; and
automatically adding the user system to the dynamic group call.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes initiating a dynamic group call, detecting a call alert, and identifying a user system responsible for the call alert. The dynamic group call includes at least one original participant, and is initiated such that an ability to automatically add at least one new participant to the dynamic group call is enabled. Identifying the user system includes obtaining an indicator from the call alert. The indicator is associated with the user system. Finally, the method includes automatically adding the user system to the dynamic group call.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer program code, the computer program code, when executed, configured to:
-
initiate a dynamic group call, the dynamic group call including at least one original participant, wherein the dynamic group call is initiated to enable automatically adding at least one new participant to the dynamic group call; detect a call alert; identify a user system responsible for the call alert, wherein the computer program code configured to identify the user system includes computer program code configured to obtain an indicator from the call alert, the indicator being associated with the user system; and automatically add the user system to the dynamic group call. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

20. An apparatus comprising:
-
dynamic group call logic, the dynamic group call logic being arranged to initiate a dynamic group call including at least one original participant, the dynamic group call logic further being arranged to allow at least one new participant to be automatically added to the dynamic group call after the dynamic group call is initiated; call alert logic, the call alert logic being arranged to detect a call alert from a user system, the call alert being arranged to indicate that the user system is requesting access to the dynamic group call, wherein the dynamic group call logic is still further arranged to automatically add the user system to the dynamic group call as the at least one new participant after the call alert from the user system is detected; and a processing arrangement, the processing arrangement being arranged to execute the logic. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23)
