Abstract:
1. A method for using telepresence resources among independent domains, comprising: defining telepresence resources available on at least one of said domains and storing said available telepresence resources in a telepresence interface computer of said at least one of said domains; registering at the telepresence interface computer of said at least one of said domains, privileges to which one or more other of said domains or users associated with said one or more other of said domains are entitled with respect to said at least one of said domains, said privileges being determinative of which of said available telepresence resources on said at least one of said domains that said one or more other of said domains or users of said one or more other of said domains may use; providing a telepresence manager computer for managing user requests from any of said domains, said telepresence manager computer being separate from said domains and communicatively connected to each of said domains; receiving a request for telepresence resources and a list of attendees from a user of one of said domains at said telepresence manager computer, said request for telepresence resources including a request for at least one of said telepresence resources available on said at least one of said domains; transmitting with said telepresence manager computer said request for said at least one of said telepresence resources available on said at least one of said domains to said telepresence interface computer; parsing the list of attendees with said telepresence manager computer and contacting said more other of said domains through a plurality of telepresence interface computers of said more other of said domains and wherein each of the plurality of telepresence interface computers containing selected filtering to permit resources within its corresponding domain to be accessed, consumed, and reserved; determining with said telepresence interface computer whether said user has access rights to said at least one of said telepresence resources available on said at least one of said domains using said registered privileges; and scheduling, in a computer process, said at least one of said telepresence resources available on said at least one of said domains if said telepresence interface computer determines that said user has access rights to said at least one of said telepresence resources available on said at least one of said domains.
