PRIVATE AUDIO COMMUNICATION IN A CONFERENCE CALL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18060035 titled 'PRIVATE AUDIO COMMUNICATION IN A CONFERENCE CALL
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method, computer system, and computer program product for private audio communication in a conference call. The invention involves receiving a mute request from a participant, muting the participant, capturing their audio, and transmitting it to another participant over a private communication channel.
- Receiving a mute request from a participant
- Muting the participant in the conference call
- Capturing the muted participant's audio
- Transmitting the captured audio to another participant over a private communication channel

The benefits of this technology include enhanced privacy, improved communication efficiency, and the ability to have private discussions within a larger group setting.
Potential Commercial Applications
A potential commercial application of this technology could be in the development of secure conference call systems for businesses, educational institutions, and organizations that require private audio communication.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be existing conference call systems that offer mute functionality but do not provide a private communication channel for muted participants.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology ensure the security of the private communication channel?
The technology does not specify the encryption or security measures used to protect the private communication channel. It would be important to know how the system ensures the confidentiality of the transmitted audio.
Can the system handle multiple private communication channels simultaneously?
The abstract does not mention whether the system can support multiple private communication channels for different pairs of participants in a conference call. It would be essential to understand the scalability of the technology in handling multiple private conversations at once.
