Abstract

In a communications system having a plurality of endpoints each including a logical entity and its physical counterpart, a method of group affiliation.
The method including the steps of: receiving a first message from a requestor via application layer routing that includes an affiliation request (602);
generating a response to the affiliation request as a function of the type of affiliation request received (604); and communicating the response to the affiliation request to the requestor via application layer routing (606).

Claims (10)

1. In a communications system having a plurality of endpoints each comprising a logical entity and its physical counterpart, a method for group affiliation, comprising the steps of:
receiving a first message from a requestor via application layer routing that includes an affiliation request;
generating a response to said affiliation request as a function of the type of affiliation request received; and communicating the response to said affiliation request to said requestor via application layer routing.
2. The method of Claim 1, wherein:
said affiliation request is a request to affiliate at least one endpoint with at least one group.
3. The method of Claim 2, wherein said group has at least one other affiliated endpoint and wherein the response to said affiliation request is generated as a function of whether said endpoint's physical counterpart has communication capabilities that are compatible with the communication capabilities of said at least one other affiliated endpoint.
4. The method of Claim 1, wherein said affiliation request is for an affiliation list and said response includes an affiliation list comprising one of the following set:
all contact addresses for a given logical entity affiliated with a given group, each said contact address indicating the location of a physical counterpart;
all groups to which at least one logical entity is affiliated;
all groups to which at least one contact address is affiliated, each said contact address indicating the location of a physical counterpart; and all groups to which an endpoint is capable of being affiliated.
5. In a communications system having a plurality of endpoints each comprising a physical counterpart, a method for determining at least one set of communications capabilities that are common to the physical counterpart of endpoints affiliated with a group, said method comprising the steps of:
retrieving a list of endpoints affiliated with a group;
retrieving the communications capabilities of the physical counterpart of each said affiliated endpoint; and determining whether at least one set of group communication capabilities can be generated that includes communications capabilities that are common to the physical counterparts of at least a subset of the affiliated endpoints, and if so generating said at least one set of group communications capabilities.
6. The method of Claim 5 further comprising the step of generating an error message if at least one set of group communication capabilities cannot be generated.
7. The method of Claim 5, wherein said step of determining whether at least one set of group communication capabilities can be generated is performed as a function of whether at least a subset of said affiliated endpoints comprise a physical counterpart having a communication capability that is required for a group directed session with said group.
8. The method of Claim 5, wherein said step of determining whether at least one set of group communication capabilities can be generated is performed as a function of whether at least a subset of said affiliated endpoints comprise a physical counterpart having a communication capability that is optional for a group directed session with said group.
9. The method of Claim 5, wherein said at least one set of group communication capabilities is generated is as a function of a transcoding algorithm.
10. The method of Claim 5, wherein said at least one set of group communication capabilities is generated is as a function of software being downloaded into said at least a subset of affiliated endpoints:
