Communication device for providing an automatically initiated outgoing communication as an incoming communication

1. A communication device comprising:

a processor and a communication interface, the processor enabled to:

automatically initiate an outgoing communication at a scheduled given time via the communication interface; and,

when the outgoing communication is initiated, provide an indication of an incoming communication being received rather than of the outgoing communication being initiated wherein the indication is provided as a caller ID (identification), wherein the indication of the incoming communication is further provided as one or more of: an incoming communication template with fields populated with outgoing communication data, an identifier of the outgoing communication, an identifier of a conference call associated with the outgoing communication, and an identifier of meeting data associated with the outgoing communication.

2. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further enabled to determine that the outgoing communication is scheduled by processing a calendar database to determine that the outgoing communication is associated with meeting data associated with the scheduled given time.

3. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further enabled to automatically initiate the outgoing communication at one or more of the scheduled given time and within a given time period before the scheduled given time.

4. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further enabled to automatically initiate the outgoing communication by:

initiating the outgoing communication; and, when a called communication device responds to a request for initiating the outgoing communication, automatically providing log-in data for joining a conference call to the called communication device.

5. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further enabled to, when connecting the outgoing communication is unsuccessful, automatically reattempt to automatically initiate the outgoing communication after a given time period.

6. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further enabled to provide the indication of the outgoing communication when one of a called communication device answers the outgoing communication, and when the outgoing communication is logged into an associated conference call.

7. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further enabled to, when the indication is provided before one of a called communication device answers the outgoing communication and the outgoing communication is logged into an associated conference call, mute the outgoing communication.

8. A method comprising:

automatically initiating, at a processor of a communication device, an outgoing communication at a scheduled given time via a communication interface of the communication device; and,

when the outgoing communication is initiated, providing an indication of an incoming communication being received rather than of the outgoing communication being initiated at the communication device wherein the indication is provided as a caller ID (identification), wherein the indication of the incoming communication is further provided as one or more of: an incoming communication template with fields populated with outgoing communication data, an identifier of the outgoing communication, an identifier of a conference call associated with the outgoing communication, and an identifier of meeting data associated with the outgoing communication.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising determining that the outgoing communication is scheduled by processing a calendar database to determine that the outgoing communication is associated with meeting data associated with the scheduled given time.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the outgoing communication is automatically initiated at one or more of the scheduled given time and within a given time period before the scheduled given time.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the automatically initiating the outgoing communication comprises:

initiating the outgoing communication; and, when a called communication device responds to a request for initiating the outgoing communication, automatically providing log-in data for joining a conference call to the called communication device.

12. The method of claim 8 , further comprising, when connecting the outgoing communication is unsuccessful, automatically reattempting automatically initiating the outgoing communication after a given time period.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the indication of the outgoing communication is provided when one of a called communication device answers the outgoing communication, and when the outgoing communication is logged into an associated conference call.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein when the indication is provided before one of a called communication device answers the outgoing communication and the outgoing communication is logged into an associated conference call, the outgoing communication is muted.

15. A non-transitory computer medium comprising computer code adapted to execute a method comprising:

automatically initiate an outgoing communication at a scheduled given time via the communication interface; and,

when the outgoing communication is initiated, provide an indication of an incoming communication being received rather than of the outgoing communication being initiated wherein the indication is provided as a caller ID (identification) , wherein the indication of the incoming communication is further provided as one or more of: an incoming communication template with fields populated with outgoing communication data, an identifier of the outgoing communication, an identifier of a conference call associated with the outgoing communication, and an identifier of meeting data associated with the outgoing communication.
