Abstract
Cross IM group chat allows a host user to initiate a group conference between other users each registered on different chat systems (or not registered at all), as long as the host user is registered on each of the chat systems. Each user can participate in a semi-public chat that is viewable by the other participants of the chat, and private chats in which each participant can chat one on one with other participants in the group are also provided.
