1 - 9 . (canceled)
10 . A computer-implemented method of initiating real-time communications, comprising:
generating a data channel for real-time communication;
automatically transferring a file using the data channel upon initiation of a call; and
enabling temporary use of the file during the call, wherein the temporary use terminates upon completion of the call.
11 . The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , further comprising:
terminating the data channel after transferring the file.
12 . The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , further comprising:
maintaining the data channel after transferring the file;
transferring an additional file using the data channel.
13 . The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , wherein the call is an audio call or a video call.
14 . The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , wherein the file expands a functionality of a browser during the call.
15 . The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , further comprising:
enabling a modification of the expanded functionality of the browser.
16 . The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , wherein the file comprises software for a real-time application.
17 . The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , wherein the file comprises software that defines an add-on feature for a browser.
18 . The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , wherein the file comprises a video codec or an audio codec.
19 . A system for initiating real-time communications, the system comprising:
a processor;
a memory operatively connected to the processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause:
generating a data channel for real-time communication;
automatically transferring a file using the data channel upon initiation of a call; and
enabling temporary use of the file during the call, wherein the temporary use terminates upon completion of the call.
20 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the memory stores further instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause:
terminating the data channel after transferring the file.
21 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the memory stores further instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause:
maintaining the data channel after transferring the file;
transferring an additional file using the data channel.
22 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the call is an audio call or a video call.
23 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the file expands a functionality of a browser during the call.
24 . The system of claim 23 , wherein the memory stores further instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause:
enabling a modification of the expanded functionality of the browser.
25 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the file comprises software for a real-time application.
26 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the file comprises software that defines an add-on feature for a browser.
27 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the file comprises a video codec or an audio codec.
28 . A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause:
generating a data channel for real-time communication;
automatically transferring a file using the data channel upon initiation of a call; and
enabling temporary use of the file during the call, wherein the temporary use terminates upon completion of the call.
29 . A non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 28 , wherein the call is an audio call or a video call.
