Intelligent teleconference operations in an internet of things (IoT) computing environment

A system for intelligent teleconference operations in an Internet of Things (IoT) computing environment, comprising:

• one or more computers with executable instructions that when executed cause the system to:
• cognitively initiate or terminate a communication connection for a conference call session with one or more users according to one or more parameters associated with a user profile, a schedule of the one or more users, activities of daily living (“ADLs”), one or more contextual factors, or a combination thereof, wherein cognitively initiating the communication connection for the conference call session includes:
• initiating the communication connection for the conference call session upon determining a priority level of one or more events the one or more users are currently engaged in is less than a priority level of the conference call session, wherein the one or more events are identified by observing spatiotemporal characteristics of a current physical environment surrounding the one or more users;
• and
• delaying the initiating of the communication connection for the conference call session upon determining the priority level of one or more events is greater than the priority level of the conference call session;
• automatically set a user equipment of the one or more users to a silent mode upon initiating the communication connection to the conference call session, wherein the silent mode of the user equipment is automatically exited upon detecting the one or more users begin discussing information for which the conference call has been initiated, once the communication connection to the conference call has been established;
• detect an occurrence of one or more of a plurality of contextual factors associated with terminating the communication connection, wherein at least one of the plurality of contextual factors includes determining, from informational details of the conference call session, that a scheduled duration of the conference call session has elapsed;
• and
• responsive to determining the scheduled duration of the conference call session has elapsed, automatically terminate the communication connection upon identifying that a relevance of discussion of the one or more users subsequent to the scheduled duration, with respect to the information for which the conference call had been initiated, does not meet a predetermined relevance threshold.

A computer program product for intelligent teleconference operations in an Internet of Things (IoT) computing environment by a processor, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:

• an executable portion that cognitively initiates or terminates a communication connection for a conference call session with one or more users according to one or more parameters associated with a user profile, a schedule of the one or more users, activities of daily living (“ADLs”), one or more contextual factors, or a combination thereof, wherein cognitively initiating the communication connection for the conference call session includes:
• initiating the communication connection for the conference call session upon determining a priority level of one or more events the one or more users are currently engaged in is less than a priority level of the conference call session, wherein the one or more events are identified by observing spatiotemporal characteristics of a current physical environment surrounding the one or more users;
• and
• delaying the initiating of the communication connection for the conference call session upon determining the priority level of one or more events is greater than the priority level of the conference call session;
• an executable portion that automatically sets a user equipment of the one or more users to a silent mode upon initiating the communication connection to the conference call session, wherein the silent mode of the user equipment is automatically exited upon detecting the one or more users begin discussing information for which the conference call has been initiated, once the communication connection to the conference call has been established;
• an executable portion that detects an occurrence of one or more of a plurality of contextual factors associated with terminating the communication connection, wherein at least one of the plurality of contextual factors includes determining, from informational details of the conference call session, that a scheduled duration of the conference call session has elapsed;
• and
• an executable portion that, responsive to determining the scheduled duration of the conference call session has elapsed, automatically terminates the communication connection upon identifying that a relevance of discussion of the one or more users subsequent to the scheduled duration, with respect to the information for which the conference call had been initiated, does not meet a predetermined relevance threshold.
