Patent

CA 2159249

Methods and apparatus are disclosed for automatically establishing a conference call to a preselected list of prospective participants (12,14,16 and 18) to the conference call. A subscriber to the conference calling service predefines one or more lists of participants, each list being associated with a different conference call. When the subscriber wishes to initiate a conference call, the subscriber accesses the network (10) and requests that the call be set up. The network originates (e.g., dials) calls to each of the participants on a specified list. The network then bridges these individual calls to establish the conference call. The cost of the conference call can be billed to the subscriber or shared among the participants to the call.

Lorsque l'abonné désire faire un appel conférence, il accède au réseau (10) et demande que l'appel soit établi. Le réseau appelle chacun des participants de la liste pertinente. Puis il les relie en un unique appel conférence. Le coût de l'appel conférence peut être facturé à l'abonné ou partagé entre les participants.
