A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11876668B1) discloses a computer-implemented method for communication channel failover between different communication providers. The method involves hosting a communication application between two users and initiating a first communication channel between them. In case of a connection failure, the system checks for alternative communication channels provided by different providers and redirects the users to a second communication channel that meets specific failover criteria. The process includes confirming successful connections and unique identifiers for each user and device involved.

Furthermore, the patent also describes a system for communication channel failover, comprising processors, memory, and programs stored in the memory. These programs are designed to execute instructions for hosting a communication application, establishing communication channels, detecting connection failures, and redirecting users to alternative channels based on predefined failover criteria. The system aims to ensure seamless communication between users by efficiently managing communication channels provided by disparate communication providers. The method and system outlined in the patent offer a structured approach to handling communication failures and ensuring continuous connectivity between users utilizing different communication channels.
