Abstract:
1. A method to clone a communication session from a first device to a second device, comprising: receiving, at the first device, a request to identify the communication session; rendering, by the first device, an information message comprising an identification of the communication session, wherein the first device accesses components of the communication session to generate the information message according to a configurable control policy and the information message is configured to be transmitted from the first device; acquiring, by the second device, the information message to clone the communication session from the first device onto the second device; bridging the second device to the communication session without dropping the first device from the communication session, to produce a cloned communication session based on the configurable controlled policy; and sending a confirmation message, wherein no prior association between the first device and the second device is used during the cloning.
