First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- prioritizing, by a collaboration node, each modality of communication accessible by at least a first user and a second user based on one or more communication characteristics in a collaboration profile;
monitoring, by the collaboration node, communication characteristics of a communication session conducted in a first modality of communication between the first user and the second user;
determining, by the collaboration node, a second modality of communication accessible to the first user and the second user having a higher priority than the first modality of communication based on the collaboration profile and the communication characteristics for the communication session; and
notifying, by the collaboration node, at least one of the first user or the second user when the second modality of communication has the higher priority than the first modality of communication.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a collaboration node prioritizes each modality of communication accessible by at least a first user and a second user based on one or more communication characteristics in a collaboration profile, monitors communication characteristics of a communication session conducted in a first modality of communication between the first user and the second user, and determines a second modality of communication accessible to the first user and the second user having a higher priority than the first modality of communication based on the collaboration profile and the communication characteristics for the communication session. The collaboration node further notifies at least one of the first user or the second user when the second modality of communication has the higher priority than the first modality of communication.

12. A collaboration device, comprising:
-
one or more network interfaces to communicate with in a communication network; a processor coupled to the network interfaces and adapted to execute one or more processes; and a memory configured to store a process executable by the processor, the process when executed operable to; prioritize each modality of communication accessible by at least a first user and a second user based on one or more communication characteristics in a collaboration profile; monitor communication characteristics of a communication session conducted in a first modality of communication between the first user and the second user; determine a second modality of communication accessible to the first user and the second user having a higher priority than the first modality of communication, based on the collaboration profile and the communication characteristics for the communication session; and notify at least one of the first user or the second user when the second modality of communication has the higher priority than the first modality of communication. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media having software encoded thereon, the software, when executed by a processor, operable to:
-
prioritize each modality of communication accessible by at least a first user and a second user based on one or more communication characteristics in a collaboration profile; monitor communication characteristics of a communication session conducted in a first modality of communication between the first user and the second user; determine a second modality of communication accessible to the first user and the second user having a higher priority than the first modality of communication, based on the collaboration profile and the communication characteristics for the communication session; and notify at least one of the first user or the second user when the second modality of communication having the higher priority than the first modality of communication.
