Abstract

This invention provides an automated method for connecting a videoconference through a telecommunication system comprising telecommunication devices, endpoints, and routing segments. A computer videoconferencing (VC) scheduling system reserves communications facilities and time slots by: -providing a database in a telecommunication Operations Center that includes: -a network model of the real-world telecommunications system, - endpoint operating indicia, -telecommunications device operating indicia, -telecommunications network operating indicia: -establishing an adjacency matrix based on route segments between each endpoint and telecommunication device -assigning efficiency values to each route segment in the matrix- calculating the most efficient routing for the videoconference automatically using a graph algorithm- nominating a primary device for interconnecting the telecommunication devices and endpoints - verifying operability of the telecommunication system’s network model through resource counting -recording verified routes in the Operation Center database Least Cost Routing (LCR) and Resource Counting techniques automatically create conferencing schedules that are economically routed and supported within the network’s capabilities. These tasks are usually too complex and error-prone efficient human management.
