The present disclosure relates to a method for controlling a real-time communication between at least two participants on a real-time conversation and collaboration platform by means of a digital assistant unit, wherein clients are connected to a conferencing application via a communications network establishing the communication, the method comprising the steps of identifying, from the at least two participants, a first participant as an active speaker in the conversation by using audio signals received from the first participant via a microphone, activating the digital assistant unit for the first participant, if a predetermined event is detected, wherein the audio signals received from the first participant are analyzed so as to identify voice commands therefrom, wherein an Automatic Speech Recognition engine performs a voice recognition procedure for identifying and transcribing the identified voice commands, and wherein the transcribed voice commands are analyzed and executed.

Method for controlling a real-time conversation and real-time communication and collaboration platform

A method for intelligent screen sharing, a screen sharing application and a system for multi-party and multi-media conferencing can be configured to allow an efficient temporary switching of screen sharing in a multi-party multi-media conference and/or automatically returning to previous presenter(s) without the need to restart the screen sharing again. In some embodiments, an automatic re-establishment of the screen sharing session can be provided as well (e.g. after a presenting user had temporarily lost network connection).

Method for intelligent screen sharing, screen sharing application and system for multi-party and multi-media conferencing

A method for controlling a real-time communication between at least two participants can include identifying, from the at least two participants a first participant as an active speaker in the conversation by using audio signals received from the first participant via a microphone, and activating the digital assistant unit for the first participant. A voice recognition procedure for identifying and transcribing identified voice commands can be used so the transcribed voice commands are analyzed and executed.

A computer-implemented method of managing tenants on a multi-tenant SIP server system has at least two multi-tenant enabled SIP server instances in an SIP server cloud or private datacenter environment. Each SIP server instance of the plurality of SIP server instances is configured as a virtual application. The method contains the steps of initially configuring a first tenant on a first SIP server instance, monitoring the capacity of the first SIP server instance, and monitoring the capacity of a second SIP server instance. The monitoring of the first and second SIP server instances is carried out by monitoring at least one predetermined capacity-relevant value. When the at least one predetermined capacity-relevant value exceeds a predetermined threshold value indicating that capacity resources are low on the first SIP server instance, then the first tenant is moved from the first SIP server instance to the second SIP server instance.

A method for conducting audio and/or video conference, in which one of the terminals that is coupled to a central conference unit takes on the role of a media server, and this occurs under the control of said central conference control unit.

A telecommunication system and a method for transferring media data from a first client over a QoS-sensitive network to a second client. The system and method can permit media data, which contain a first media type with a first traffic class and a second media type with a second traffic class to be bundled by the first client into second packets. In each second packet, the traffic class for each media type is marked in layer 4 and/or layer 5. The second packets can be transmitted toward the second client. Either before or during the transfer to the network, the second packets can be unbundled using the markings in layer 4 and/or layer 5 and then bundled into first packets, each of which has only one of the traffic classes. At least some of the first packets can then be transmitted over the network to the second client.

Method and telecommunications arrangement for transferring media data having differing media types via a network sensitive to quality of service

A telecommunication system and a method for generating a real time connection between a first endpoint and a second endpoint in an IP network using an ICE STUN connectivity check follow a procedure that includes the steps of generating a list of possible connection paths between the first endpoint and the second endpoint, establishing a respective priority for each possible connection path included in the list, and generating the real time connection between the first endpoint and the second endpoint. During this procedure first there is an attempt to generate the real time connection using the highest-priority connection path. If this is not possible, then the system attempts to establish the real connection using the connection path with the next highest priority, until the real time connection is actually established. Furthermore, for each possible connection path, its respective quality-of-service value is determined and is considered when establishing its priority on the list.

Telecommunication arrangement and procedures to establish a RTC connection between a first and second endpoint

A telecommunications assembly and a method for traversing an application layer gateway firewall during the establishment of an RTC communication connection between an RTC client and an RTC server using a proprietary RTC signalling protocol, wherein the firewall has no specific knowledge of the proprietary RTC signalling protocol. The RTC client and the RTC server can negotiate during the establishment of the RTC communication connection which of the ports of the firewall are required for the data packets to be exchanged via the RTC communication connection, wherein they use at least one standardised message element as a component of the proprietary RTC signalling protocol, with which information relating to the ports to be used can be found by the firewall.

Conference participants are selected via a network element in a network, the geographical area locations, for example, buildings of an enterprise, of the conference participants are determined and depending on the determined locations a geographical conference area, for example a conference room is determined for each conference participant. The conference area together with the conference information is communicated to the conference participants. The availability of the conference participants can be checked for the communication.

A computer system and a computer-implemented method for secure and dynamic downloading of add-on software from a server to a client, characterized in that a specific data channel can be used to transfer the software.

In one aspect, a method used to determine services in a network is provided. For a plurality of devices, information pertaining to a location of the respective device is stored in a location information item. A location information item providing a location of a user is generated. At least one of the plurality of devices to be used by the user based on the generated location information item and to the stored location information items is automatically selecting; a status report is transmitted to a device used by the user, with the user being offered the use a service via the status report, the offered service effected by the selected device.
