Abstract
A method for monitoring and providing access to back to back scheduled conference calls within a teleconferencing system. The method includes receiving a call and a password entry from a caller. The method includes determining the password entry is valid for a scheduled conference call. The method includes determining the scheduled conference call is scheduled back to back with a previous conference call and that the previous conference call is not over. The method then includes determining the password entry is a specific password, wherein the specific password is issued only to callers accessing back to back scheduled conference calls and placing the caller on hold.
Claims18
A computer implemented method for monitoring and providing access to back to back scheduled conference calls within a teleconferencing system, the method comprising:
- receiving, by one or more computer processors, a call from a caller;
- receiving, by one or more computer processors, a password entry from the caller;
- determining, by one or more computer processors, the password entry is valid for a scheduled conference call;
- determining, by one or more computer processors, the scheduled conference call is scheduled back to back with a previous conference call;
- determining, by one or more computer processors, the previous conference call is not over;
- determining, by one or more computer processors, the password entry is a specific password, wherein the specific password is issued only to callers accessing back to back scheduled conference calls;
- and
- based, at least in part, upon determining the password entry is the specific password, placing, by one or more computer processors, the caller on hold.
A computer program product for monitoring and providing access to back to back scheduled conference calls within a teleconferencing system, the computer program product comprising:
- one or more computer-readable tangible storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable tangible storage media, wherein the one or more computer-readable tangible storage media is hardware, the program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to receive a call from a caller;
- program instructions to receive a password entry from the caller;
- program instructions to determine the password entry is valid for a scheduled conference call;
- program instructions to determine the scheduled conference call is scheduled back to back with a previous conference call;
- program instructions to determine the previous conference call is not over;
- program instructions to determine the password entry is a specific password, wherein the specific password is issued only to callers accessing back to back scheduled conference calls;
- and
- based, at least in part, upon determining the password entry is the specific password, program instructions to place the caller on hold.
A computer system for monitoring and providing access to back to back scheduled conference calls within a teleconferencing system, the computer system comprising:
- one or more computer processors;
- one or more computer-readable tangible storage media, wherein the one or more computer-readable tangible storage media is hardware;
- program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable tangible storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more computer processors, the program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to receive a call from a caller;
- program instructions to receive a password entry from the caller;
- program instructions to determine the password entry is valid for a scheduled conference call;
- program instructions to determine the scheduled conference call is scheduled back to back with a previous conference call;
- program instructions to determine the previous conference call is not over;
- program instructions to determine the password entry is a specific password, wherein the specific password is issued only to callers accessing back to back scheduled conference calls;
- and
- based, at least in part, upon determining the password entry is the specific password, program instructions to place the caller on hold.
