Abstract
Methods for barging an online user on a real-time communications network are presenting including: making a barge request by a barging user to barge online users; if online users are a part of an on-going call and the barging user has a barge privilege, joining the barging user with the on-going call; and if online users are not part of the on-going call and the barging user has the barge privilege, creating a new call with the barging user and the online user. In some embodiments, methods further include: if the barging caller is restricted and the barging user does not have the barge privilege, denying the barging user from the joining; and if the barging caller is not restricted and the barging user does not have the barge privilege, joining the barging user with the on-going call, and granting the floor control based on a standard floor control rule.
