Automated conferencing system and method

摘要

A method of connecting a computing device to a conference. One method comprises finding one or more potential dial-in numbers and looking up the one or more potential dial-in numbers in at least one database. One method further comprises one of, accessing a conference reception zone with one of the potential dial-in numbers when the one of the potential dial-in numbers is found in the at least one database and attempting to access the conference reception zone with the one or more potential dial-in numbers when the one or more potential dial-in numbers are not found in the at least one database. One or more potential conference pin numbers are obtained and it is determined whether one or more additional conference pin numbers are associated with the one or more potential dial-in numbers. A selected conference pin number is assigned a confidence level and the conference pin number is entered in the conference reception zone prior to accessing the conference.

1. A method to facilitate conference calling from a mobile device, the method comprising:
locating, automatically with a first application on the mobile device, a potential dial-in number from a second application on the mobile device; obtaining, at the mobile device and before receiving input from a user, a conference sequence for the potential dial-in number, wherein the obtaining is based at least in part on comparing the potential dial-in number to a database of dial-in numbers, and wherein the obtaining comprises recognizing a code associated with the potential dial-in number; determining that the potential dial-in number is not a dial-in number in the database of dial-in numbers; identifying a confidence level for the conference sequence; receiving, at the mobile device and after obtaining the conference sequence, a user input to utilize the conference sequence; and utilizing, at the mobile device and automatically in response to the user input, the conference sequence to access a conference when the confidence level is above a threshold.
