Abstract

A system and method are provided for recovering a communication session between a client device and a participant device is performed by a server running a central service. The server detects that the client device has lost connection to the participant device and proceeds to maintain the connection to the participant device. In certain embodiments, the server determines why the client device lost connection and selects a second device in close proximity to the client device using information from a user profile associated with the client device. The server then proceeds to establish a connection between the client device and the participant device.
