Abstract
A system and method for queuing participants of a multi-party communication session are disclosed. In one embodiment, the system includes a concentration signal module, a concentration information module, an ordering module and a queuing module. The concentration signal module receives one or more concentration signals associated with a multi-party communication session. The concentration information module receives concentration information of a participant of the multi-party communication session. The ordering module determines an order for a plurality of participants of the multi-party communication session based at least in part on the one or more concentration signals and the concentration information of each participant of the multi-party communication session. The queuing module queues the plurality of participants of the multi-party communication session in the determined order, wherein a participant at the front of the queue asks a question.
