`
`ABSTRACT
`
`A collaboration services suite is adapted to support a plu
`rality of integrated telecommunications services accessed by
`geographically dispersed team members using a virtual team
`environment (VTE) client that generates a graphical user
`interface (GUI) for each of the respective team members.
`Communications sessions are automatically set up by the
`collaboration services suite in response to request messages
`generated by the VTE client when a team member initiates
`a communications session request using the GUI. Team
`members require no knowledge of another team member’s
`communications device address in order to initiate a com
`munications session. The collaboration services suite
`includes a VTE server that communicates with the VTE
`clients, a presence engine that collects and maintains a status
`of communications devices speci?ed in a current pro?le of
`the team member; and, a call server for handling setup and
`control of a voice component of each communications
`session completed.

`
`METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATIC
`HANDLING OF INVITATIONS TO JOIN
`COMMUNICATIONSSESSIONSIN A VIRTUAL
`TEAM ENVIRONMENT
`
`CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED
`APPLICATIONS
`
`[0001] This is the first application filed for the present
`invention.
`
`MICROFICHE APPENDIX
`
`[0002] Not Applicable.
`
`TECHNICAL FIELD
`
`[0003] The invention relates in general to work environ-
`ments and, in particular, to a virtual team environment that
`facilitates collaboration among geographically-dispersed
`team members using a distributed application that provides
`the virtual team environment.
`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`setup and control by permitting calls to be initiated from a
`worldwide web interface or the like, problems are still
`inherent. It is still impossible to determine the availability of
`a called party before a call is placed. Even when a call
`attempt is unsuccessful, the caller is generally not provided
`with any feedback to indicate why the call attempt failed.
`For example, the called party may be on anothercall, or may
`be away from their desk oroffice. It is estimated that at least
`as many as 84% (6 out of 7) of business calls fail to connect
`directly to the called party.
`
`[0008] Electronic mail provides a convenient and inex-
`pensive mode of communicati
