A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11973809B2) discloses a system that includes processors and memory storing instructions for creating communication sessions. The system involves storing configuration data linked to a customer identifier, receiving requests via APIs to initiate communication sessions, selecting communication orchestrators based on channel identifiers, and creating the communication sessions accordingly. The system allows for the selection of different orchestrators for voice, video, or text channels, enabling efficient communication management.

Furthermore, the patent details operations for creating multiple communication sessions, ending sessions, adding participants, and muting participants. It also includes features such as publishing communication session events to an event service and receiving notifications for these events. Based on these notifications, the system can send additional requests to orchestrators and provide status information to the original request sender. Overall, the patented system offers a comprehensive solution for managing various aspects of communication sessions efficiently, enhancing user experience and operational effectiveness in communication environments.
