Abstract: A system and method for teleconferencing between conferees connected through a connectionless network and conferees connected through a connection-oriented network having a bridge. A call server (316) connects to a bridge hosting a teleconference among connection-oriented conferees and joins the teleconference. The connection-oriented signal received by the call server is converted into a connectionless signal and sent to authorized, authenticated conferees connected through the connectionless network. The call server (316) receives a connectionless signal from a conferee through the connectionless network, converts the signal to a connection-oriented signal and sends the connection-oriented signal to the bridge. Connectionless signals are stored in a database (320) to be analyzed or sent to other conferees, such as those who were unavailable to join the teleconference as it occurred. The call server provides multimedia interfaces to conferees by which the conferees can monitor and join an ongoing teleconference, access a stored teleconference, or configure a new teleconference. The call server can also bridge teleconferences hosted on two or more bridges, expanding the audience for a given teleconference beyond the capacity of a single bridge.

Abstract translation: 一种用于通过具有桥面向连接的网络连接通过一个无连接网络连接的与会者和与会者之间的电话会议的系统和方法。 呼叫服务器连接到主机面向连接的与会者之间的电话会议的桥梁和加入电话会议。 由呼叫服务器接收到的面向连接的信号被转换成一个无连接信号并且发送到通过所述连接网络连接的授权，认证与会者。 呼叫服务器通过无连接网络从与会者接收一个无连接信号时，信号转换为面向连接的信号和面向连接的信号发送到桥梁。 无连接信号被存储在数据库中进行分析或发送到其他与会者，：比如那些是无法获得参加电话会议，因为它发生。 呼叫服务器提供的多媒体接口，与会者通过与会者可以监控和正在进行的电话加入，访问存储的电视电话会议，或配置一个新的电话会议。 因此，呼叫服务器可以弥补远程会议托管在两个或两个以上的桥梁，扩大了观众超越单桥的容量给定的电话会议。
