Abstract
For an audio transmission, a computer system detects sounds in the audio transmission, where the audio transmission is for participants in a conversation and the conversation includes spoken word sounds of the participants. The method includes determining, by the computer system, that one of the sounds is transmitted from where one of the participants is located and that the one of the sounds indicates a distraction. Responsive to determining that that one of the sounds indicates a distraction, the computer system generates a predetermined action to mitigate the distraction.
Claims20
A method for an audio transmission, the method comprising:
- detecting, by a computer system, sounds in the audio transmission, where the audio transmission is for participants in a conversation and the conversation includes spoken word sounds of the participants;
- determining, by the computer system, that one of the sounds is transmitted from where one of the participants is located and that the one of the sounds indicates a distraction;
- and
- generating, by the computer system responsive to determining that one of the sounds indicates a distraction, a predetermined action to mitigate the distraction.
A system for audio transmission, the system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer readable storage medium connected to the processor, where the computer readable storage medium has recorded thereon a program for controlling the processor, and where the processor is operative with the program to execute the program for:
- detecting, by a computer system, sounds in the audio transmission, where the audio transmission is for participants in a conversation and the conversation includes spoken word sounds of the participants;
- determining, by the computer system, that one of the sounds is transmitted from where one of the participants is located and that the one of the sounds indicates a distraction;
- and
- generating, by the computer system responsive to determining that one of the sounds indicates a distraction, a predetermined action to mitigate the distraction.
A computer program product for an audio transmission, including a computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon for execution by a computer system, where the instructions, when executed by the computer system, cause the computer system to implement a method comprising:
- detecting, by a computer system, sounds in the audio transmission, where the audio transmission is for participants in a conversation and the conversation includes spoken word sounds of the participants;
- determining, by the computer system, that one of the sounds is transmitted from where one of the participants is located and that the one of the sounds indicates a distraction;
- and
- generating, by the computer system responsive to determining that one of the sounds indicates a distraction, a predetermined action to mitigate the distraction.
