Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for expedited access to conference calls
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a server operable to receive an admission request from a communications device, the admission request including a unique identifier, and create a conference call in response to the admission request;
a data store including previously stored data unique to the communications device; and
wherein the server is further operable to connect the communications device to the conference call when the unique identifier and the previously stored data match which includes a bypass of an entry of at least one conference pass code, store the unique identifier in the data store for future reference to identify conference calls including at least one of an origination from the communications device and associated with the communications device, wherein the unique identifier comprises a unique destination telephone number used to receive the admission request and wherein additional information associated with at least one of the communications device and a user of the communications device is not examined and the conference call is originated without prearrangement with a service provider.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for admitting conferees into a conference call. Methods to achieve the foregoing can comprise: transmitting an admission request from a user of a communications device to a server for admission to a conference call, the admission request including a unique identifier; storing data unique to the communications device in a data store; relaying the unique identifier from the server to the data store; comparing the unique identifier with the data unique to the communications device; and, when the unique identifier and the previously stored data match, connecting the user directly to the conference call which includes bypassing entry of at least one conference pass code by the user.

7. A method, comprising:
-
receiving an admission request at a server from a communications device, the admission request including a unique identifier; creating a conference call in response to the admission request; storing data unique to the communications device in a data store; comparing the unique identifier with the data unique to the communications device; and when the unique identifier and the previously stored data match, connecting the communications device to the conference call which includes bypassing entry of at least one conference pass code, and storing the unique identifier in the data store for future reference to identify incoming conference calls including at least one of originating from the communications device and associated with the communications device wherein the unique identifier comprises a unique destination telephone number used to receive the admission request and wherein additional information associated with at least one of the communications device and a user of the communications device is not examined and the conference call is originated without prearrangement with a service provider. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform:
-
receiving an admission request at a server from a communications device, the admission request including a unique identifier; creating a conference call in response to the admission request; storing data unique to the communications device in a data store; comparing the unique identifier with the data unique to the communications device; and when the unique identifier and the previously stored data match, connecting the communications device to the conference call which includes bypassing entry of at least one conference pass code, and storing the unique identifier in the data store for future reference to identify incoming conference calls including at least one of originating from the communications device and associated with the communications device wherein the unique identifier comprises a unique destination telephone number used to receive the admission request and wherein additional information associated with at least one of the communications device and a user of the communications device is not examined and the conference call is originated without prearrangement with a service provider. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
