Abstract

See full text

A system and method for speaker identification in a conference calling unit. The method identifies the speaker, locates the speaker identifier, transfers the speaker identifier to an outgoing path and sends the speaker identifier to endpoints participating in the conference call. If the endpoints have the capability of displaying caller identification, their displays will be updated dynamically with the speaker identifier in place of the caller identifier. The system includes a conference call unit. The unit has a processing unit operable to extract the caller identification of the line having the speaker and a network interface unit operable to send the caller identification to endpoints participating in the call as speaker identification.
