Abstract

Handling a related call using a shared call state. The computing system establishes a first call between a first entity and a second entity, assigns a user call identifier to the first call. Next, the second entity instructs that a second call between the first entity and a third entity is to be established. The computing system then establishes the second call between the first entity and the third entity, assigns the same user identifier to the second call, such that the first call and the second call are included in a shared call operation. A first global state of the shared call operation is identified based on a status of at least one of the first call and the second call. When the status of at least one of the first call and the second call changes, the global state of the shared call operation changes from the first global state to a second global state.
