Informing a teleconference participant that a person-of-interest has become active within the teleconference

摘要

A method, a computer program product, and a data processing system inform a teleconference participant that a person-of-interest has become active within the teleconference. A user is identified. A person-of-interest, an alert condition, and a notification method are received from the user. The identification, the alert condition, and the notification method are then stored in a person-of-interest data structure. When a user connects to a teleconference, the person-of-interest data structure is retrieved. The teleconference is then monitored for the occurrence of the alert condition. Upon the occurrence of the alert condition, the notification is delivered to the user according to the notification method.
