Conference call prioritization

1. A method of prioritizing conference call participants, the method comprising:

automatically initiating contact with each of the conference call participants, the conference call participants having previously accepted an invitation to participate in a conference call at a previously scheduled time, wherein at least one of the conference call participants is contacted using a different methodology from that of a second one of the conference call participants;

detecting, with a computer device, a sound of a first conference call participant that originates from the first conference call participant;

disabling, with the computer device, a distribution of a sound of a second conference call participant upon the detecting;

enabling the distribution of the sound of the second conference call participant after an expiration of a time period; and

appointing a priority to the first conference call participant that is different than a priority of the second conference call participant, wherein the priority determines a hierarchy of the detecting.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising distributing the sound of the first conference call participant.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sound comprises an initiation of a communication by the first call participant with the conference call participants, and wherein the time period includes a period of silence subsequent to the detecting that signifies an end of the communication.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the time period is one of: adjustable, preset or predetermined.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the conference call participants use one of: a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) system or a telephone circuit system.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the disabling comprises muting a line of the second conference call participant.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second conference call participant includes a plurality of conference call participants.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first conference call participant is one of: a moderator, an administrator, a host, or a supervisor.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sound includes a voice.

10. A system for prioritizing conference call participants, the system comprising:

a system for automatically initiating contact with each of the conference call participants, the conference call participants having previously accepted an invitation to participate in a conference call at a previously scheduled time, wherein at least one of the conference call participants is contacted using a different methodology from that of a second one of the conference call participants;

a system for detecting a sound of a first conference call participant that originates from the first conference call participant;

a system for disabling a distribution of a sound of a second conference call participant upon a detection;

a system for enabling the distribution of the sound of the second conference call participant after an expiration of a time period; and

a system for appointing a priority to the first conference call participant that is different than a priority of the second conference call participant, wherein the priority determines a hierarchy of the detecting.

11. The system of claim 10 , further comprising a system for distributing the sound of the first conference call participant.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the sound comprises an initiation of a communication by the first call participant with the conference call participants, and wherein the time period includes a period of silence subsequent to the detecting that signifies an end of the communication.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the time period is one of: adjustable, preset or predetermined.

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the conference call participants use one of: a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) system or a telephone circuit system.

15. The system of claim 10 , wherein the disabling system mutes a line of the second conference call participant.

16. The system of claim 10 , wherein the second conference call participant includes a plurality of conference call participants.

17. The system of claim 10 , wherein the first conference call participant is one of: a moderator, an administrator, a host, or a supervisor.

18. The system of claim 10 , wherein the sound includes a voice.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable storage device having a stored computer program code which when executed, enables a computer system to implement a method of prioritizing conference call participants, the method comprising:

automatically initiate contact with each of the conference call participants, the conference call participants having previously accepted an invitation to participate in a conference call at a previously scheduled time, wherein at least one of the conference call participants is contacted using a different methodology from that of a second one of the conference call participants;

detect a sound of a first conference call participant that originates from a first conference call participant;

disable a distribution of a sound of a second conference call participant upon detection;

enable the distribution of the sound of the second conference call participant after an expiration of a time period; and

appoint a priority to the first conference call participant that is different than a priority of the second conference call participant, wherein the priority determines a hierarchy of the detecting.

20. The computer program of claim 19 , the method further comprising distribute the sound of the first conference call participant.

21. A method of deploying a system for prioritizing conference call participants, the method comprising:

providing a computer system operable to:

automatically initiate contact with each of the conference call participants, the conference call participants having previously accepted an invitation to participate in a conference call at a previously scheduled time, wherein at least one of the conference call participants is contacted using a different methodology from that of a second one of the conference call participants;

detect a sound of a first conference call participant that originates from a first conference call participant;

disable a distribution of a sound of a second conference call participant upon the detection;

enable the distribution of the sound of the second conference call participant after an expiration of a time period; and

appoint a priority to the first conference call participant that is different than a priority of the second conference call participant, wherein the priority determines a hierarchy of the detecting.

22. A business method for prioritizing conference call participants, the business method comprising:

managing a network that includes at least one computer system operable to:

automatically initiate contact with each of the conference call participants, the conference call participants having previously accepted an invitation to participate in a conference call at a previously scheduled time, wherein at least one of the conference call participants is contacted using a different methodology from that of a second one of the conference call participants;

detect a sound of a first conference call participant that originates from a first conference call participant;

disable a distribution of a sound of a second conference call participant upon the detection;

enable the distribution of the sound of the second conference call participant after an expiration of a time period;

appoint a priority to the first conference call participant that is different than a priority of the second conference call participant, wherein the priority determines a hierarchy of the detecting; and

receiving payment based on the managing.
