ENHANCED CONTROL OF COMMUNICATIONS FOR BACK-TO-BACK CONFERENCE CALLS SHARING A COMMON BRIDGE CONFIGURATION

原文（中国語）

The disclosed techniques are directed to a meeting-based or invitation-based conference lobby feature during a back-to-back conference call, while the same bridge arrangement or bridge configuration is provided across multiple meetings. If a previous meeting is still ongoing, meeting server checks identities of attendees: if an attendee is associated with the ongoing meeting, the server connects the attendee to the ongoing meeting; if the attendee is not associated with the ongoing meeting, the attendee is placed in a “holding area” without being connected to the active call, and will be connected to the call once the ongoing meeting ends; or manually let in.
