Abstract
An example operation includes one or more of receiving a request from an occupant in a first transport to initiate a voice communication with an occupant in a second transport, determining the occupant in the second transport is available for the voice communication based on a length of time the occupant will remain in the first transport and a length of time the occupant will remain in the second transport, and responsive to the determining, enabling the voice communication between the occupant in the first transport and the occupant in the second transport.
Claims17
A method, comprising:
- determining an occupant in a second transport is available for a voice communication based on a length of time an occupant will remain in a first transport and a length of time the occupant will remain in the second transport;
- and
- responsive to the determining, enabling the voice communication between the occupant in the first transport and the occupant in the second transport;
- wherein a context of the voice communication is determined;
- and
- wherein the enabling of the voice communication is performed when the context is determined to require less communication time than the length of time the occupant will remain in the second transport.
A transport, comprising:
- a processor configured to
- determine an occupant in a second transport is available for a voice communication based on a length of time an occupant will remain in a transport and a length of time the occupant will remain in the second transport;
- and
- responsive to the determination, enable the voice communication between the occupant in the transport and the occupant in the second transport;
- wherein a context of the voice communication is determined;
- and
- wherein the enablement of the voice communication is performed when the context is determined to require less communication time than the length of time the occupant will remain in the second transport.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, that when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform:
- determining an occupant in a second transport is available for a voice communication based on a length of time an occupant will remain in a first transport and a length of time the occupant will remain in the second transport;
- and
- responsive to the determining, enabling the voice communication between the occupant in the first transport and the occupant in the second transport;
- wherein a context of the voice communication is determined;
- and
- wherein the enabling of the voice communication is performed when the context is determined to require less communication time than the length of time the occupant will remain in the second transport.
