ABSTRACT:
The invention provides an on-demand real-time video conefrencing system in a circuit switched communications network. The on-demand real-time video conferencing system includes at least one video conference control system that receives an on-demand request for a video conference from a user and, in real-time, allocates video conferencing resources and connects the user with at least one other video conference participant through the circuit switched communications network. Each of the at least one video conference control system includes a video conference connection unit and a voice response unit. The video conference connection unit includes a plurality of video ports coupled to the circuit switched communications network. The video conference control system connects the user with the at least one other video conference participant based on the number of total video conference participants, the number of video ports available in the at least one video conference control system and the available connection paths in the circuit switched communications network.
