Abstract

An embodiment is a technique for inhibiting unintended outgoing communication. A cost calculator calculates a cost value of an outgoing communication as a function of a plurality of parameters related to at least one of a voice parameter, an ambient parameter, a proximity parameter, a speech pattern parameter, a call parameter, and a noise parameter. A call suppressor suppresses the outgoing communication when the cost value exceeds a predetermined threshold.
