Abstract

See full text

A method and system for exchanging instant messages among participants to a conference call, wherein when an instant message is to be sent among the participants, the instant message is addressed by a first participant to the conference call itself, which is identified by a conference call URI. An Application Server (AS) receives the message, and based on a memory-stored correspondence between the conference call URI and the conference call participants, translates the session URI into Public Ids, SIP URIs or any other identifier of each participant, or participant's terminal. The AS further relays the instant message to the other participants by addressing it to each participant's identifier. The memory of the AS is updated as new participants join or leave the conference call, as to always reflect the participants currently involved in the conference call.
