SERVER INITIATED COMMUNICATION SESSION JOIN AFTER ENDPOINT STATUS CHECK FAILURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18677441 titled 'SERVER INITIATED COMMUNICATION SESSION JOIN AFTER ENDPOINT STATUS CHECK FAILURE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods, systems, and mediums that automatically switch to a different communication application to join a network-based communication session if the primary application is unavailable.
Key Features and Innovation
- Automatic initiation of a connection to a network-based communication session using a second communication application.
- Responsive to detecting user inability to join the session with the first communication application.
- The first and second communication applications can be on the same or different devices.
- Example scenario: switching to a mobile phone communication app if the desktop device is unavailable.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various industries such as telecommunication, remote work, customer service, and online collaboration platforms.
Problems Solved
- Addressing user connectivity issues during network-based communication sessions.
- Ensuring seamless communication experience by automatically switching to an alternative communication application.

Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, and machine-readable mediums which automatically initiate a connection to a network-based communication session using a second communication application responsive to the communication service detecting that the user is unable to join the network-based communication session using a first communication application. The first and second communication applications may be on a same or different computing device. For example, if a user's desktop device is unavailable or experiencing connection issues, then the communication server may automatically request that a communication application on a mobile phone of the user join the network-based communication session.
