Haptic feedback during phone calls

A system for providing feedback to participants of multi-party phone conversations comprising:

• a registration database that includes a plurality of user accounts including addresses for user specific communications device registered with the conference system, a user specific conduct measuring devices, and a user specific haptic feedback devices;
• a content input recorder for receiving communications content from a communications session for a conversation between at least two users from content received through the user specific communications device for at least two of the users in the registration database;
• a conduct input recorder for recording a status for said at least two users from data measured by the user specific conduct measuring device, the status indicating the level of involvement of the at least two users in the conversation;
• an individual status calculator including at least one hardware device processor for performing a set of instruction stored on at least one memory device, the individual status calculator analyzing the status of said at least two users measured by the user specific conduct measuring device signals, and calculating whether an individual status for one of said at least two users calls for an input through said user specific communications device by said user having the individual status calling for said input;
• and
• a feedback signal transmitter that sends a signal for input through said user specific communications device to a user having the individual status calling for said input, the user specific haptic feedback device delivering the feedback signal to the user having the individual status calling for said input.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therein for providing haptic feedback to participants of multi-party phone conversations, the method comprising:

• opening a communications session with a conference system for a conversation between at least two users, wherein each of the at least two users has a user specific communications device registered with the conference system over which the conversation is being transmitted, a user specific conduct measuring device registered with the conference system, and a user specific haptic feedback device registered with the conference system;
• capturing status for said at least two users from data measured by the user specific conduct measuring device for the at least two users. the status indicating the level of involvement of the at least two users in the conversation;
• determining with the conference system if the content of the communications session and the status of said at least two users calls for input by the user to the conversation through said user specific communications device;
• and
• sending a feedback signal from the conference system to the user specific haptic feedback device of the user that the conference system has determined that the communications session has called for said input, the user specific haptic feedback device delivering the feedback signal to the user.
