1. A method for controlling access to a conference call managed by a server device, the method comprising:
- receiving a request from a communication device for access to the conference call;
obtaining one or more contextual attributes associated with the communication device, the contextual attributes indicating at least one or more peripheral devices communicatively coupled to the communication devices;
determining whether the contextual attributes of the communication device satisfy a predefined policy; and
if the contextual attributes of the communication device fail to satisfy the predefined policy, updating operations of the server device to restrict the communication device'"'"'s access to the conference call.

Abstract
A method for controlling access by of communication devices to a conference call, the method comprising associating proximity settings with a conference call, the proximity settings indicating a acceptable proximity of other communication devices relative to a selected communication device; sensing by the selected communication device proximity of the other devices within its proximity of the communication device to obtain proximity information; and determining, by a processor, from the obtained proximity information and the proximity settings an action to be performed with reference to the conference call.

9. A server device for controlling access of a communication device to a conference call, the server device comprising:
-
a processor configured to; receive a request from the communication device for access to the conference call; obtain one or more contextual attributes associated with the communication device, the contextual attributes indicating at least or more peripheral devices communicatively coupled to the communication devices; determine whether the contextual attributes of the communication device satisfy a predefined policy; and if the contextual attributes of the communication device fail to satisfy the predefined policy, determine an action restricting the communication device'"'"'s access to the conference call. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that are executable by one or more processors of a server device to cause the server device to perform a method for controlling access of a communication device to a conference call, the method comprising:
-
receiving a request from a communication device for access to the conference call; obtaining one or more contextual attributes associated with the communication device, the contextual attributes indicating at least one or more peripheral devices communicatively coupled to the communication devices; determining whether the contextual attributes of the communication device satisfy a predefined policy; and if the contextual attributes of the communication device fail to satisfy the predefined policy, determining an action restricting the communication device'"'"'s access to the conference call. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
