Handling of a communication session
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- executing a communication session handling program comprising a communication session handling part for handling a communication session and an interfacing part for linking with a communication session control interface associated with an application;
detecting, by the communication session handling program, that the application has ceased to provide the communication session control interface for the communication session; and
responsive to detecting that the application has ceased to provide the communication session control interface, linking the interfacing part of the communication session handling program, without dropping the communication session, to an additional communication session control interface to continue the communication session handled by the communication session handling part of the communication session handling program.

Abstract
Embodiments describe handling a communication session at a device, by executing a communication session handling program at the device, the communication session handling program comprising a communication session handling part for handling the communication session and an interfacing part for linking with a communication session control interface. An application executed at the device provides, to a user of the device, a communication session control interface for the communication session handled by the communication session handling part of the communication session handling program, the application linking with the interfacing part of the communication session handling program. On detecting that the application has ceased to provide the communication session control interface, the interfacing part of the communication session handling program links, without dropping the communication session, to a further communication session control interface provided at the device for continuation of the communication session handled by the communication session handling part.

12. One or more computer-readable storage devices comprising instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by one or more processors, perform operations comprising:
-
executing a communication session handling program comprising a communication session handling part for handling a communication session and an interfacing part for linking with a communication session control interface associated with a web browser; detecting that the web browser has ceased to provide the communication session control interface for the communication session responsive to the web browser being closed or navigation away from a web page on which the communication session control interface is provided; and linking the interfacing part of the communication session handling program, without dropping the communication session, to an additional communication session control interface to continue the communication session handled by the communication session handling part of the communication session handling program. - View Dependent Claims (13)
