Abstract: Embodiments of a system and method for providing a user interface for managing calls received at a mobile device is described. The user interface provides an incoming call screen to the user, where the incoming call screen comprises a caller identification data field for displaying data associated with incoming calls and at least one key label field in which labels for mobile device keys (e.g. send and end keys) are displayed. The area of the caller identification data field is substantially greater than the area of the at least one key label field, enabling more information pertaining to incoming calls to be displayed to the user. In at least one embodiment, this is facilitated by providing user-selectable options for responding to incoming calls in an options menu, which can be accessed by a user but is not initially displayed to the user when an incoming call is first received.

Abstract: Mobile devices transmit biometric data with a call initiation request to enable caller recognition within a contacts database so that caller information can be displayed even if the incoming telephone number is not recognized. A mobile device used to place a call gathers biometric data, such as a fingerprint scan. To protect user identity information the biometric data may be distorted or otherwise modified. The caller biometric data may be communicated as part of a call initiation process. The called mobile device may include a contacts database which includes within the data records stored biometric data associated with contacts. The called mobile device compares received biometric data to biometric data stored within the contacts database to determine if there is a match. If a match or partial match is determined, the contact record associated with that matching biometric data can be accessed and the associated contact information displayed.

Abstract translation: 移动设备通过呼叫发起请求发送生物特征数据，以便在联系人数据库内启用呼叫者识别，使得即使未识别呼入的电话号码也可以显示呼叫者信息。 用于放置呼叫的移动设备收集生物特征数据，如指纹扫描。 为了保护用户身份信息，生物特征数据可能会失真或以其他方式修改。 呼叫者生物特征数据可以作为呼叫发起过程的一部分被传送。 所呼叫的移动设备可以包括联系人数据库，其在数据记录内包含与联系人相关联的存储的生物测定数据。 被叫移动设备将接收到的生物特征数据与存储在联系人数据库内的生物特征数据进行比较，以确定是否存在匹配。 如果确定匹配或部分匹配，则可以访问与该匹配生物特征数据相关联的联系人记录，并显示相关联的联系信息。

Abstract: A system and method for providing context information along with a voice call is disclosed. In some examples, a calling device receives context information from a user and transmits the context information when establishing a voice call with the user. The context information may include various types of media, such as pictures or videos taken by a calling device. In some examples, a destination mobile device receives a voice call that does have context information and sends a request to a calling mobile device for information related to the voice call.

Abstract: A system and method of saving and delivering a voice memo or text memo to identify incoming calls is provided. A user of the system of the invention is given the option of recording a memo on the calls he or she has received through a prompt on a telecommunication device. The user can choose to record a voice memo or text memo after each call. The memos are saved in connection with caller id information pertaining to the number from which the call was placed. When a user of the system receives a call from a number that has a memo saved in relation thereto, the user will be prompted to hear, and may listen to, the voice memo before answering the call. If the memo is in text form, the user can configure the system to provide various processing options. In one processing option, a text to speech audio presentation of the text of the memo is made available to permit the message to be heard over a telephone or networked audio capable PDA device. In other processing options, the user has the text of the message sent to the user's PC or emailed or sent by instant message to the user's PDA device.
