Patent number: 8406390Abstract: Methods and products are described for facilitating a method of controlling participation in a teleconference call. One embodiment of the method includes connection to a teleconference call so that a user of a communications device is capable of participating in the call. Any real-time inbound audio and real-time outbound audio is recorded and stored. At some point during the call, a pause command is received that indicates a desire to suspend real-time participation in the teleconference call and that starts a pause process. One embodiment of the pause process includes continuing to record the real-time inbound audio but preventing it from being presented via the communications device until a resume request is received, preventing the real-time outbound audio from being sent to other call participants until a resume request is received, and enabling a resume option that allows the user to re-engage in real-time participation in the teleconference call.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2010Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Assignee: Sprint Communications Company L.P.Inventors: Clark Douglas Halferty, Caleb Sisson Hyde, Andrew Mark Wurtenberger
