Abstract

Disclosed is a three-way call detection system that uses digital signal processing to identify a third party connection. The disclosed invention operates by establishing a baseline ambient, or background, noise level, and detecting when the signal noise level drops below the ambient noise level. When the current signal noise level drops below the ambient noise level, the system assumes that a three-way conference call has been attempted by the called party.
