Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention may relate generally to the field of computing, and more particularly to estimating an answering time by a user of a communication on a communication device. A user may receive a communication on a first communication device from a second communication device. A distance of the user from the first communication device may be determined. A time may be estimated for the user to reach the first communication device based on the distance determination. The time estimation may be communicated to the second communication device.
