Context sensitive communication augmentation
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;
determining context information related to a bidirectional communication modality for a communication session between a first user equipment and a second user equipment, wherein the bidirectional communication modality is a bidirectional voice communication modality, wherein the determining the context information comprises determining a likelihood of a successful bidirectional communication via the bidirectional communication modality between the first user equipment and the second user equipment for a context of the first user equipment, and wherein the communication session is an in-progress communication sessiondetermining communication modality information based on the in-progress communication session;
determining a first augmentation of the bidirectional communication modality for the communication session based on the communication modality information and at least a portion of the context information, wherein the first augmentation comprises an adaptation of the communication session to employ, while the communication session remains in the in-progress communication session, the bidirectional communication modality and a communication modality that is not the bidirectional communication modality;
wherein the bidirectional communication modality and the communication modality that is not the bidirectional communication modality are employed simultaneously andenabling access to first augmentation information related to the first augmentation of the bidirectional communication modality to enable the second user equipment to determine a rank of the first augmentation of the bidirectional communication modality relative to a second augmentation corresponding to a different communication modality other than the bidirectional communication modality and to enable the first user equipment to select the first augmentation of the bidirectional communication modality based on the rank of the augmentation of the bidirectional communication modality.

Abstract
Context sensitive communication augmentation is disclosed. A user equipment (UE) can receive a trigger related to determining a context of a UE. The trigger can be manual, automatic, or remote. In response to receiving the trigger, the context of the UE can be determined based on sensor data. The sensor data can be received from a sensor of the UE or another sensor. Based on the context of the UE, a metric related to a communication modality of the UE can be determined. The metric can be communicated to another device. Information related to the context of the UE, including location information, can be communicated to the other device. A communication modality can be selected based on the metric relate to the UE and communication modalities of the other device. The metric can be updated based on changes in the context of the UE, allowing for updating the communication modality.
