Patent number: 9826097Abstract: Responsive to detecting a call from a first user into a call system, a user identifier associated with the first user by the call and user information associated with the user identifier can be added to respective user information stored in an e-meeting data structure associated with the call. Responsive to determining the call system recognizes the voice of the first user, the first user can be identified based on the voice of the first user. Responsive to determining that the user information associated with the user identifier contains information not related to the identified first user, the information not related to the identified first user can be removed from the e-meeting data structure. An e-meeting for the call can be generated, the e-meeting including as participants the first user and at least a second user.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2016Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Andrew R.

Patent number: 9509850Abstract: Responsive to detecting a call from a first user into a call system, a user identifier associated with the first user to can be added to respective user information stored in an e-meeting data structure associated with the call. A determination can be made as to whether the call system recognizes the user identifier associated with the first user and, responsive to determining the call system does not recognize the user identifier associated with the first user, a determination can be made as to whether the call system recognizes a voice of the first user. If the call system does not recognize the voice of the first user, a location of the first user can be identified by processing the user identifier. The location of the first user can be added to respective user information stored in the e-meeting data structure. An e-meeting can be generated for the call.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2015Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Andrew R. Low, Travis R.
