Conference call scheduling

摘要

Components of a communications network automatically determine an appropriate time for a conference call. The network sends conference call invitations to desired conference participants. The invitations include proposed conference times. Responses are tallied and analyzed to determine an optimum time for the conference call. The conference call is scheduled according to the determined optimum time. Conference participants are notified of the scheduled conference time. Reminders may be sent. The network calls all conference participants at or about the scheduled conference time and interconnects successfully placed calls.
