Video conference service
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a device and from a first client device, a request to initiate a video conference call between the first client device and a second client device,the first client device being associated with a first enterprise, andthe second client device being associated with a second enterprise that is different than the first enterprise;
obtaining, by the device and based on the request, first client information associated with the first client device and second client information associated with the second client device;
establishing, by the device, a conference bridge, associated with the video conference call, when it is determined, based on the first client information, that the first client device is permitted to attend the video conference call,the first client device being permitted to attend the video conference call when a first privilege level specified by the first client information satisfies a threshold and when the first client information indicates that the first client device is capable of communicating based on an encryption scheme;
connecting, by the device and based on determining that the first client device is permitted to attend the video conference call, the first client device to the conference bridge;
determining, by the device and based on the second client information, that the second client device is permitted to attend the video conference call,the second client device being permitted to attend the video conference call when a second privilege level specified by the second client information satisfies the threshold and when the second client information indicates that the second client device is capable of communicating based on the encryption scheme; and
connecting, by the device and based on determining that the second client device is permitted to attend the video conference call, the second client device to the conference bridge.

Abstract
A system is configured to receive a request to set up a first video conference and another request to set up a second video conference, where the request is received from a client device and where the other request is received from another client device; obtain first information associated with an enterprise with which the client device is associated and second information associated with another, different enterprise with which the other client device is associated; determine whether the first information permits the client device to set up the first video conference and whether the second information permits the other client device to set up the second video conference; establish the first video conference when the first information permits the client device to set up the first video conference; and establish the second video conference when the second information permits the other client device to set up the second video conference.

8. A device comprising:
-
a memory to store instructions; and a processor to execute the instructions to; receive, from a first client device, a request to initiate a video conference call between the first client device and a second client device, the first client device being associated with a first enterprise, and the second client device being associated with a second enterprise that is different than the first enterprise; obtain, based on the request to initiate the video conference call, first client information associated with the first client device; obtain, based on the request to initiate the video conference call, second client information associated with the second client device; establish the video conference call when it is determined, based on the first client information, that the first client device is permitted to set up the video conference call, the first client device being permitted to set up the video conference call when a first privilege level specified by the first client information satisfies a threshold and when the first client information indicates that the first client device is capable of communicating based on an encryption scheme, the processor, when establishing the video conference call, being to; generate conference information, associated with the video conference call, based on a determination that the first client device is authorized to set up the video conference call; and establish, based on the generated conference information, the video conference call; determine, based on the second client information, that the second client device is permitted to attend the video conference call, the second client device being permitted to attend the video conference call when a second privilege level specified by the second client information satisfies the threshold and when the second client information indicates that the second client device is capable of communicating based on the encryption scheme; and cause, based on determining that the second client device is permitted to attend the video conference call, the second client device to be connected the video conference call. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
