METHOD FOR ESTABLISHING A COMMUNICATION CONNECTION WHICH IS SUITABLE FOR TRANSMITTING MEDIA STREAMS BETWEEN A FIRST RTC CLIENT AND A SECOND RTC CLIENT

Abstract:

The invention concerns a computer-implemented method for establishing a communication connection suitable for transmitting media streams from a first RTC client (20) to a second RTC client (30), comprising the following steps: the first RTC client (20) generates a request (50) to establish the communication connection, wherein the request (50) contains media-specific data and/or parameters for the first RTC client (20), and preferably also for the communication connection, the request (50) is adapted to the media-specific data and/or parameters of the second RTC client (30), the adapted request (52) is sent to the second RTC client (30), the second RTC client (30) generates a response (60) to the adapted request (52), the second RTC client (30) is configured using the adapted request (52) and the response (60), and the response (60) is also sent to the first RTC client (20), and the first RTC client (20) is configured using the adapted request (52) and the response (60). The method is characterized in that the first RTC client (20) sends the request (50) to a web server (40) and the second RTC client (30) sends the response (60) to the web server (40), and the web server (40) adapts the request (50) and sends the adapted request (52) both to the second RTC client (30) and also back to the first RTC client (20), in addition to sending the response (60) both to the first RTC client (20) and also back to the second RTC client (30).
