Abstract

A conference call is established in response to receiving a request 4 from a first communication terminal 3a. The request 4 preferably is an SMS or MMS and comprises one or more identifiers 5, 6, 7, e.g. telephone numbers, relating to a plurality of other communication terminals 3b-3d. A conference call server I allocates a conference call channel and an associated identifier, such as a telephone number. Messages 10a-10c alerting the conference participants are then sent to the other communication terminals 3a-3c, each message including the identifier associated with the conference call channel. Access to the conference call may be restricted to authorised users by compating identifiers, such as CLIs, of incoming callers to the identifiers provided in the request 4 and allowing access only if there is a correspondence or match. In the event that an incoming caller has withheld their CLI, or it is otherwise non­determinable, access is refused and a message may be sent reminding conference participants who have yet to join the conference call not to withhold this information. Alternatively, the server calls the participants at the appropriate time.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS [received by the International Bureau on 16 November 2004 (16.11.04); original claims 1-26 replaced by amended claims 1-24]Claims
1. A method of establishing a conference call, comprising: receiving a request at a conference call service provider from a first communication terminal; and in response to the request, allocating a conference call channel, associating an identifier with the conference call channel and sending a message from the conference call service provider to said other communication terminals, characterised by the request comprising plural identifiers each relating to one of a plurality of other communication terminals.
2. A method according to claim 1, comprising subsequently initiating from the conference call service provider a telephone call to each of said other communication terminals.
3. A method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the request identifies a time at which the conference call is to be started, and the initiating step occurs at substantially the conference call start time.
4. A method according to any preceding claim, wherein a message containing the identifier associated with the conference call channel is sent to the first communication terminal in response to the request.
5. A method according to any preceding claim, wherein the request is a short text message or a multimedia message.
6. A method according to any preceding claim, wherein each message sent by the conference call service provider to said other communication terminals is a short text message or a multimedia message.
7. A method according to claim 6, wherein a body of the short text or multimedia message includes the identifier associated with the conference call channel. 18
8. A method according to claim 6 or 7, wherein the short text or multimedia message further includes additional text, image and/or audio data forming part of the request.
9. A method according to any preceding claim, wherein the identifiers relating to the communication terminals are telephone numbers.
10. A method according to any preceding claim, wherein each message containing the conference call channel identifier as the message originator and preferably wherein the conference call channel identifier is a Calling Line Identification associated -with the conference call channel.
11. A method according to any preceding claim, further comprising: comparing an identifier associated with a communication terminal determined to be attempting to access the conference call channel with a list of identifiers relating to communication terminals allowed to access the conference call channel; and allowing access to the conference call only if the identifier associated with said communication terminal corresponds to an identifier on said list.
12. A method according to claim 11, further comprising, in response to a determination that an identifier associated with a communication terminal attempting to access the conference call channel is withheld or is otherwise non- determinable, a further message is sent to all communication terminals identified in the request that are not connected to the conference call channel.
13. Apparatus for providing a conference call facility comprising: a receiver for receiving a request from a first communication terminal,; an allocator for allocating a conference call channel and associating an identifier with the conference call channel in response to the request; and a message generator for preparing and sending a message to said other communication terminals, 19 characterised by said request containing plural identifiers, each identifier relating to one of a plurality of other communication terminals.
14. Apparatus according to claim 13, wherein each message contains an indication that the message originates from the conference call channel, and preferably wherein the indication is a Calhng Line Identification associated with the conference call channel.
15. Apparatus according to claim 13 or claim 14, further comprising an access restrictor configured to: compare an identifier associated with a communication terminal determined to be attempting to access the conference call channel with a list of identifiers relating to communication terminals allowed to access the channel; and allow access to the conference call only if the identifier associated with said communication terminal corresponds to an identifier on said list.
16. Apparatus according to claim 15, wherein the access restrictor is configured so that, in response to a determination that an identifier associated with a communication terminal attempting to access the conference call channel is withheld or is otherwise non-determinable, a further message is sent to all communication terminals identified in the request that are not connected to the conference call channel.
17. Apparatus according to any of claims 13 to 16, further comprising: an initiator arranged to initiate a telephone call to each of said other communication terminals.
18. Apparatus as claimed in claim 17, wherein the request identifies a time at which the conference call is to be started, and the initiator is arranged to initiate the telephone calls at substantially the conference call start time.
19. Apparatus according to any of claims 13 to 18, wherein the message generator is configured to send a message containing the identifier associated with 20
the conference call channel to the first communication terminal in response to the request.
20. Apparatus according to any of claims 13 to 19, wherein the receiver is a short text or multimedia message receiver.
21. Apparatus according to any of claims 13 to 20, wherein each message is a short text message or a multimedia message.
22. Apparatus according to claim 13 and claim 21, wherein the message generator is configured to include the conference call channel identifier in a body of each short text message or a multimedia message.
23. Apparatus according to any of claims 13 to 22 , wherein the message generator is configured to include additional text, image and/or audio data forming part of the request in a body of the short text message or a multimedia message.
24. Apparatus according to any one of claims 13 to 23, wherein the identifiers relating to the communication terminals are telephone numbers.
