Method for automatically setting up and/or controlling a telecommunication conference
First Claim
1. A method for automatically controlling a telecommunication conference with at least three participants, wherein conference condition information comprises at least one user-defined conference condition for participation in the telecommunication conference with the at least three participants, and the at least one user-defined conference condition is indicative of a desired status of the telecommunication conference, the method comprising:
- storing, by a terminal, the conference condition information in the terminal;
determining, by the terminal, whether the at least one user-defined conference condition is met using the stored conference condition information;
generating, by the terminal without user intervention, at least one conference joining message to be used for joining the telecommunication conference with the at least three participants when the at least one user-defined conference condition is determined to be met; and
transmitting, by the terminal without user intervention, the at least one conference joining message to a telecommunication conference server to join the telecommunication conference with the at least three participants.

12. A terminal, comprising:
-
a telecommunication conference unit to communicate with other terminals and/or with a telecommunication conference server device in a telecommunication conference with at least three participants, wherein the telecommunication conference unit is to transmit a conference joining message to the telecommunication conference server device without user intervention; a memory to store conference condition information, which comprises at least one user-defined conference condition for participation by the terminal in the telecommunication conference wherein the at least one user-defined conference condition is indicative of a desired status of the telecommunication conference, wherein the conference condition information is to be generated by the terminal; a telecommunication conference checking unit to use the conference condition information to determine whether the at least one user-defined conference condition has been met; and a telecommunication conference message generator unit to; receive, from the telecommunication conference checking unit, a piece of information indicating that the at least one user-defined conference condition is met, and generate the conference joining message without user intervention, wherein the conference joining message is to indicate that the terminal is to join the telecommunication conference. - View Dependent Claims (13)

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium including program code to cause a terminal, in response to execution of the program code by the terminal, to:
join, without user intervention, a telecommunication conference with at least three participants, wherein conference condition information comprises at least one user-defined conference condition, which is defined by the terminal or one of the at least three participants and is stored in a memory of the terminal, for participation by one or more of the at least three participants in the telecommunication conference, wherein the at least one user-defined conference condition is indicative of a desired status of the telecommunication conference, and wherein to join the telecommunication conference, the terminal, in response to execution of the program code by the terminal, is to; determine, using the conference condition information, whether the at least one user-defined conference condition is met; and generate a joining message to be sent to a telecommunication conference server device for joining the telecommunication conference, wherein the generation of the joining message is to occur without user intervention when the at least one user-defined conference condition is determined to have been met; and transmit, without user intervention, the joining message to a telecommunication conference server to join the telecommunication conference with the at least three participants. - View Dependent Claims (15)
