The patent US12028384B2 outlines a method and system for managing communication sessions between two parties using a WebRTC server. The process begins with the server receiving a connection request from a web server that hosts a web page capable of WebRTC communication for the first party's terminal device. The server identifies the second party based on an identifier included in the request. It then queries a database to retrieve rules associated with the second party, which include communication parameters and technical capabilities, such as supported audio and video codecs. Based on this information, the server selects an appropriate setup for the connection and establishes it, linking the second party's terminal device to the ongoing communication session initiated by the first party.

Additionally, the patent describes the server device's architecture, which includes a processor and memory configured to execute the necessary program code for managing the communication session. The server can also include the identifier of the second party in its database inquiries. The claims further encompass a non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores the program for executing the described method, as well as a system comprising the terminal devices of both parties, the web server, and the server device. Notably, the rules retrieved from the database may also define user preferences regarding the communication method, enhancing the customization of the connection process.
