Providing an announcement for a multiparty communication session
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for providing an announcement for a multiparty communication session, comprising:
- establishing a communication session between at least two endpoints, the communicating session created by a conference creator endpoint of the at least two endpoints;
receiving a request to add an added endpoint to the communication session;
determining that a media path for the added endpoint is valid according to a valid media path indicator; and
initiating a procedure to have the conference creator endpoint to retrieve an audio rendering of the participant identifier and provide an audio announcement announcing the participant identifier of the added endpoint to the endpoints of the communication session in response to determining that the media path of the added endpoint is valid, the announcement provided from the audio rendering of the participant identifier associated with the added endpoint.

Abstract
Providing an announcement for a multiparty communication session involves establishing a communication session between at least two endpoints. A request to add an added endpoint to the communication session is received. A procedure to provide an announcement to the endpoints of the communication session is initiated. The announcement is played in response to determining a status of a media path of the added endpoint, and is provided from a rendering of a participant identifier associated with the added endpoint.

7. A system for providing an announcement for a multiparty communication session, comprising:
-
an interface operable to communicate with at least two endpoints; and one or more first processors operable to; establish a communication session between the at least two endpoints, the communicating session created by a conference creator endpoint of the at least two endpoints; receive a request to add an added endpoint to the communication session; determine that a media path for the added endpoint is valid according to a valid media path indicator; and initiate a procedure to have the conference creator endpoint retrieve an audio rendering of the participant identifier and provide an audio announcement announcing the participant identifier of the added endpoint to the endpoints of the communication session in response to determining that the media path of the added endpoint is valid, the announcement provided from the audio rendering of the participant identifier associated with the added endpoint. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

23. A system for providing an announcement for a multiparty communication session, comprising:
- means for establishing, by one or more first processors, a communication session between at least two endpoints, the communicating session created by a conference creator endpoint of the at least two endpoints;
means for receiving, by the one or more first processors, a request to add an added endpoint to the communication session;
means for determining, by the one or more first processors, that a media path for the added endpoint is valid according to a valid media path indicator; and
means for initiating, by the one or more first processors, a procedure to have the conference creator endpoint retrieve an audio rendering of the participant identifier and provide an audio announcement announcing the participant identifier of the added endpoint to the endpoints of the communication session in response to determining that the media path of the added endpoint is valid, the announcement provided from the audio rendering of the participant identifier associated with the added endpoint.
- means for establishing, by one or more first processors, a communication session between at least two endpoints, the communicating session created by a conference creator endpoint of the at least two endpoints;
