    摘要: A system capable of providing messages for a guidance in a number of special expression forms to a telephone (11) on the calling side from a telephone (1) on the called side. A user of the present system is, in advance, able to select message data in an expression form of his (her) taste from a message data server (6) having message data in a number of special expression forms through an Internet (7). The selected message data is caused to correspond to the telephone (1) of the user to store it in an answering service center (4). Where receiving from the telephone (11) on the calling side to the telephone (1) is disabled, the guidance on the basis of the selected message data is provided from the answering service center (4) to the telephone (11) on the calling side.

    摘要: Presented is a telephone calling party announcement system which stores telephone numbers and associated voice messages provided by a user. When an incoming telephone call occurs, and a telephone number of a calling party matches a stored telephone number, an associated stored voice message is played back. Calling party information is provided by Caller ID information transmitted between a first and a second ring signal. If a stored telephone number matches the telephone number portion of the Caller ID information, a stored voice message associated with the telephone number is played back between (or in place of) subsequent ring signals. The stored voice message is typically the name of the calling party, and in this case the name of the calling party is announced between ring signals. A first embodiment includes a voice message unit which receives, stores, and plays back voice messages provided by the user. A caller ID decoder decodes the Caller ID information and provides the decoded Caller ID information to a control unit. The control unit compares the telephone number portion of the decoded Caller ID information to telephone numbers stored in a control memory unit. If a match is found, the control unit asserts a playback control signal which causes the voice message unit to play back an associated stored voice message. In a second embodiment, a digital signal processor (DSP) performs the many of the functions of the voice message unit and the caller ID decoder of the first embodiment.

    摘要: Methods and systems for generating dynamic voicemail greetings are disclosed. According to an implementation, a voice call made from a caller to a recipient is directed to a voicemail server when the recipient is unreachable. The voicemail server may determine a relationship between the caller and the recipient. The voicemail server may further determine at least one of location data, event data, or time data associated with the recipient. The voicemail server may obtain the real-time location and event data from the recipient's phone and combine it with the saved location and event data to determine the content for the voicemail greeting message. The voicemail server may further select one or more templates based on the relationship between the caller and the recipient and the location and event content and generate a dynamic greeting message to be transmitted to the caller.

    摘要: Techniques are disclosed for transmitting an announcement to one or more devices. In one example, a first device receives a first message that includes an announcement, the announcement associated with a voice that spoke the announcement. The first device may determine the announcement from the first message, and then identify one or more devices for receiving the announcement. The one or more devices may have a particular device type of a plurality of different device types comprising at least a mobile device. The first device may determine a network path through which a second message is transmitted based at least in part on the location of a second device. In accordance with a determination that the second device is located within a local area network associated with a home environment, the first device transmits the second message over the local area network. In accordance with a determination that the second device is located away from a local area network associated with a home environment, the first device transmits the second message over the wide area network.

    摘要: Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for selecting and sending one of a plurality of responses to a call on a communications device. A user may select a default response or a custom response. When the user receives a call to a communications device, a set of responses is displayed on the communications device to facilitate selection by the user. A response includes a message and a call processing command. A message is in the form of an audio clip, text message, webpage, picture, video, etc. A call processing command is performed along with the message. This plurality of responses can be organized by the user in groups associated with classes of callers, such as friends, family, co-workers, etc. In this manner, the responses available to the user when a call is received changes depending on the caller.
