Intelligent communication disconnect
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.
1. 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.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a disconnection phrase is associated with the user in response to the disconnection phrase being assigned to the user.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a disconnection phrase is associated with the user in response to determining the disconnection phrase was used prior to disconnecting a communication with the user.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the disconnection cue further comprises input received from one or more sensors.
5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the one or more sensors comprise one or more of an accelerometer, a proximity sensor, and an orientation sensor.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the disconnection cue further comprises a period of time without receiving input after detecting the disconnection phrase.
7. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising code that determines whether a mute setting is enabled, wherein the ongoing communication is disconnected in response to the mute setting being disabled.
8. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising code that determines whether a user was placed on hold during the ongoing communication, wherein a connection to the user is restored in response to disconnecting from the ongoing communication.
9. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising code that sends a notification that the ongoing communication has not been disconnected.
10. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the ongoing communication comprises a telephone communication.
11. 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.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein a disconnection phrase is associated with the user in response to the disconnection phrase being assigned to the user.
13. The method of claim 11 , wherein a disconnection phrase is associated with the user in response to determining the disconnection phrase was used prior to disconnecting a communication with the user.
14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the disconnection cue further comprises input received from one or more sensors.
15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the disconnection cue further comprises a period of time without receiving input after detecting the disconnection phrase.
16. The method of claim 11 , further comprising determining whether a mute setting is enabled, wherein the ongoing communication is disconnected in response to the mute setting being disabled.
17. The method of claim 11 , further comprising sending a notification that the ongoing communication has not been disconnected.
18. 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.
