Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004049625A1] Methods and systems for automatically providing conference calls are disclosed. In one aspect of the invention, methods and systems detect a conference call event (705) that was previously configured by a subscriber user and identify participant users associated with the conference call event. Once identified, each participant user is contacted and a response is received from each of the users. Based on the received responses, a conference call is established between the participant users and the subscriber user (750). In one aspect of the invention, at least one of the detecting and identifying steps are performed without user intervention.
