Abstract
An apparatus, method, system, and program product are disclosed for intelligent communication disconnect. A monitor module is configured to detect a disconnection cue during an ongoing communication between a plurality of users. The disconnection cue includes a disconnection phrase that indicates the completion of the ongoing communication. A disconnection module is configured to disconnect from the ongoing communication in response to the disconnection cue.
Claims18
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory that stores code executable by the processor, the code comprising:
- code that associates a disconnection phrase with a user, the disconnection phrase comprising a phrase that indicates the user is done participating in an ongoing communication when spoken by the user;
- code that detects a disconnection cue during an ongoing communication between a plurality of users, the disconnection cue comprising a disconnection phrase;
- code that determines whether the disconnection phrase is associated with a user of the plurality of users;
- and
- code that disconnects the user associated with the disconnection phrase from the ongoing communication in response to determining the disconnection phrase is associated with the user.
A method comprising:
- associating a disconnection phrase with a user, the disconnection phrase comprising a phrase that indicates the user is done participating in an ongoing communication when spoken by the user;
- detecting, by use of a processor, a disconnection cue during an ongoing communication between a plurality of users, the disconnection cue comprising a disconnection phrase;
- determining whether the disconnection phrase is associated with a user of the plurality of users;
- and
- disconnecting the user associated with the disconnection phrase from the ongoing communication in response to determining the disconnection phrase is associated with the user.
A program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium that stores code executable by a processor, the executable code comprising code to perform:
- associating a disconnection phrase with a user, the disconnection phrase comprising a phrase that indicates the user is done participating in an ongoing communication when spoken by the user;
- detecting a disconnection cue during an ongoing communication between a plurality of users, the disconnection cue comprising a disconnection phrase;
- determining whether the disconnection phrase is associated with a user of the plurality of users;
- and
- disconnecting the user associated with the disconnection phrase from the ongoing communication in response to determining the disconnection phrase is associated with the user.
