Abstract

A computer-implemented method for improving conference session management is provided. The method comprises determining a participation level for a participant during a conference session, determining a presence expectation for the participant during the conference session, in response to determining the participation level and the presence expectation for the participant, evaluating an impact of the participant departing the conference session, and in response to determining that that the impact exceeds a threshold, sending a departure notification corresponding to a departure of the participant.

Claims (52)

1. A computer-implemented method for improving conferencing sessions, the method comprising:

determining a participation level for a participant during a conference session;

determining a presence expectation for the participant during the conference session;

in response to determining the participation level and the presence expectation for the participant, evaluating an impact of the participant departing the conference session; and

in response to determining that the impact exceeds a threshold, sending a departure notification corresponding to a departure of the participant.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a departure explanation from the participant; and

wherein sending the departure notification comprises sending the departure explanation.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a departure explanation for the participant; and

wherein sending the departure notification comprising sending the departure explanation.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a departure likelihood for the participant; and

in response to determining that the departure likelihood exceed a threshold, sending the departure notification.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein sending the departure notification comprises sending the departure notification prior to, during, or after the departure.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein sending the departure notification comprises sending a default departure notification.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the departure notification comprises text or audio.

8. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause:

determining a participation level for a participant during a conference session;

determining a presence expectation for the participant during the conference session;

in response to determining the participation level and the presence expectation for the participant, evaluating an impact of the participant departing the conference session; and

in response to determining that the impact exceeds a threshold, sending a departure notification corresponding to a departure of the participant.

9. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 storing further instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause:

receiving a departure explanation from the participant; and

wherein sending the departure notification comprises sending the departure explanation.

10. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 storing further instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause:

determining a departure explanation for the participant; and

wherein sending the departure notification comprising sending the departure explanation.

11. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , storing further instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause:

determining a departure likelihood for the participant; and

in response to determining that the departure likelihood exceeds a threshold, sending the departure notification.

12. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein sending the departure notification comprises sending the departure notification prior to, during, or after the departure.

13. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein sending the departure notification comprises sending a default departure notification.

14. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the departure notification comprises text or audio.

15. A system for improving conferencing sessions, the system comprising:

a processor;

a memory operatively connected to the processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause:

determining a participation level for a participant during a conference session;

determining a presence expectation for the participant during the conference session;

in response to determining the participation level and the presence expectation for the participant, evaluating an impact of the participant departing the conference session; and

in response to determining that the impact exceeds a threshold, sending a departure notification corresponding to a departure of the participant.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the memory stores further instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause:

receiving a departure explanation from the participant; and

wherein sending the departure notification comprises sending the departure explanation.

17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the memory stores further instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause:

determining a departure explanation for the participant; and

wherein sending the departure notification comprising sending the departure explanation.

18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the memory stores further instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause:

determining a departure likelihood for the participant; and

in response to determining that the departure likelihood exceeds a threshold, sending the departure notification.

19. The system of claim 15 , wherein sending the departure notification comprises sending the departure notification prior to, during, or after the departure.

20. The system of claim 15 , wherein sending the departure notification comprises sending a default departure notification.
