Method of, and system for, webcasting with just-in-time resource provisioning, automated telephone signal acquisition and streaming, and fully-automated event archival

摘要: The present invention implements a multimedia business communications platform that enables conference casting over network. End users or so-called “audience members” participate in casts from anywhere on the Internet behind an enterprise firewall using standard Web browser running streaming media player. typically includes number of subsystems: reservation subsystem, voice server content storage monitoring data attendee access and archive subsystem. subsystem provides mechanism entity to make event reservation. database associated management system. Voice validates user converts incoming telephone signal (i.e., call) output stream. Attendee responds requests returns information (e.g., structure such as stream metafile) directs attendee's player how join cast. Content is used manage and, under control files. comprises set agents distributed throughout Using these components, system just-in-time resource provisioning, automated acquisition streaming, archiving upon completion.
