Abstract
A method, computer system, and a computer program product for interpreting conference call interruptions is provided. The present invention may include analyzing a conference call including at least two participants. The present invention may also include identifying at least one interrupted segment in the analyzed conference call. The present invention may further include reconstructing the identified at least one interrupted segment of the analyzed conference call and integrating it with the uninterrupted (heard) portion of the conference call.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- analyzing a conference call including at least two participants;
- identifying at least one interrupted segment in the analyzed conference call based on performing a comparison among a plurality of audio streams to identify at least one unheard audio content in at least one audio stream of the plurality of audio streams, wherein the at least one unheard audio content is included in another audio stream of the plurality of audio streams but is not included in the at least one audio stream of the plurality of audio streams due to an interruption from a louder audio input;
- and
- reconstructing the identified at least one interrupted segment of the analyzed conference call to include the at least one unheard audio content.
A computer system for interpreting conference call interruptions, comprising:
- one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage media, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable tangible storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, wherein the computer system is capable of performing a method comprising:
- analyzing a conference call including at least two participants;
- identifying at least one interrupted segment in the analyzed conference call based on performing a comparison among a plurality of audio streams to identify at least one unheard audio content in at least one audio stream of the plurality of audio streams, wherein the at least one unheard audio content is included in another audio stream of the plurality of audio streams but is not included in the at least one audio stream of the plurality of audio streams due to an interruption from a louder audio input;
- and
- reconstructing the identified at least one interrupted segment of the analyzed conference call to include the at least one unheard audio content.
A computer program product for interpreting conference call interruptions, comprising:
- one or more computer-readable storage media and program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- analyzing a conference call including at least two participants;
- identifying at least one interrupted segment in the analyzed conference call based on performing a comparison among a plurality of audio streams to identify at least one unheard audio content in at least one audio stream of the plurality of audio streams, wherein the at least one unheard audio content is included in another audio stream of the plurality of audio streams but is not included in the at least one audio stream of the plurality of audio streams due to an interruption from a louder audio input;
- and
- reconstructing the identified at least one interrupted segment of the analyzed conference call to include the at least one unheard audio content.
