Abstract

Conference sessions are established after assigning a unique user identifier to each of multiple individual users, allocating a dedicated persistent virtual private session room to each of the multiple individual users, and assigning each of the multiple individual users' unique user identifier to the corresponding persistent virtual private session room. Conference sessions are established using the persistent virtual private session rooms in response to activation acts by the multiple individual users. Resources for establishing communications among users that are logged in to the conference sessions are dynamically allocated, using distributed conference bridge computers, based on the users logging in to the conference sessions.
