Digital recording of IP based distributed switching platform
First Claim
1. A method for recording at least a portion of a plurality of IP data sessions each being between at least a first communication device and a second communication device through a network by a remotely located recording device, comprising for each IP data session:
- initiating the data session by said first communication device and establishing a connection with said second communication device;
implementing the data session as a conference call through a conference controller in response to initiating the data session such that said first and second communication devices are respectively first and second participants;
using the conference controller, entering the remotely located recording device to said conference call as an additional participant, wherein the remotely located recording device receives as the additional participant at least the portion of the data session from each of the first and second participants; and
recording the data session received as the additional participant of said conference call using said recording device.

Abstract
A system and method for recording and/or otherwise monitoring IP multimedia sessions. The present invention features a recording and/or monitoring device, referred to hereinafter as “a recording device” for the purposes of clarity only and without any intention of being limiting. The recording device is a participant in the IP multimedia session, although preferably the recording device only receives data for recording and/or otherwise monitoring the session. Therefore, the IP multimedia session is preferably a multi-user session, such as a “conference call” for example, even if data is being provided for recording from only one of the participants in the session.

20. A system for recording an IP communication session through a network, comprising:
-
(a) a first communication device for initiating the IP communication session; (b) a second communication device connected as a communication participant in the IP communication session; (c) a conference controller for implementing the IP communication session as a conference call; and (d) a recording device remote from the first communication device and the second communication device and connected as an additional communication participant in said conference call by the conference controller to receive as the additional participant at least the portion of the IP communication session from each of the first and second communication devices, thereby to enable said recording device to record the IP communication session received as the additional participant of said conference call. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
