Abstract

The present invention relates to a conferencing architecture, and also to a logic control module and a conferencing module. The conferencing architecture, logic control module and conferencing module grant some of a group of terminal users communication rights to communicate together. The conferencing architecture includes both the logic control module and the conferencing module. The logic control module is in communication with the group of terminal users, and maintains a list of at least one predetermined criterion and associated communication rights. The logic control module monitors status of the terminal users and, upon a change of status of at least one of the terminal users, if the change of status corresponds to at least one of the predetermined criterion, generates a message for modifying the communication rights accordingly. The conferencing module receives the message and changes the communication rights amongst the terminal users in accordance with the message. The conferencing module generates an information message to the terminal users impacted by the change of status, for informing them of the changed communication rights.
