Abstract:
1. A method for handling calls involving a communication device, the method comprising: establishing a first communication session between the communication device and an endpoint; configuring the communication device to perform the first communication session via a first call configuration of at least two available call configurations; enabling toggling of a configuration of the first communication session between the first call configuration and a second call configuration; in response to detecting a termination of the first communication session, identifying from among a set of call terminating conditions a specific call terminating condition by which the first communication session terminates; determining if the specific call terminating condition is a call terminating condition within a first subset of the call terminating conditions; in response to the specific call terminating condition being within the first subset of the call terminating conditions: creating a record of the first communication session, including information indicating a call configuration that was active at a time of the call termination; associating a timer with the record and activating the timer; and autonomously accepting a request to establish a second communication session as a reconnection of the first communication session using the call configuration indicated by the information within the record, in response to the request (a) being received before expiration of the timer and (b) establishing the second communication session between the communication device and the endpoint.
