Abstract:
1. A method of call conferencing using a voice browser comprising: establishing a voice browsing session between a calling party and the voice browser provided by a voice server that interfaces with a telephony network via a gateway; establishing a conference to conference at least one additional party into said voice browsing session using an application level component, said conference providing a voice communications link between said calling party and said at least one additional party established via the telephony network; providing an identifier associated with said at least one additional party from the voice browser to an additional application level component, wherein the additional application level component marks a voice data stream of the at least one additional party with the identifier for routing; dynamically coordinating voice data streams between said calling party and said at least one additional party with the additional application level component defining a voice data stream manager using identifiers to thereby generate a single voice data stream by aggregating a voice data stream having a first identifier of said additional party with a voice data stream having a second identifier of said calling party into a single voice data stream; and sending said single voice data stream with identifiers for processing to the voice browser, wherein the data stream manager aggregates the voice data streams by identifiers to generate the single voice data stream and selectively routes audio from the voice browser to said calling party based on the identifiers.
