ABSTRACT:
A method and system for identifying whether a communicating party is a person or an automated device is provided. The identification system determines whether a person or an automated device is currently providing audio of the communication. When the identification is to be determined, the identification system outputs an audio signal to the party. The identification system monitors the input audio signal from the party to determine whether a person or an automated device is providing the input audio. The identification system makes this determination based on whether there is simultaneous sound on the input audio signal and the output audio signal. The greater the amount of simultaneous sound, the greater the likelihood that the party is an automated device.
