379418000 | CALL SIGNAL GENERATING (E.G., RINGING OR TONE GENERATOR) | 8 |
20090161860 | SCALABLE AND FLEXIBLE PROCESSING OF DIGIT MAPS AND DIAL STRINGS - An exemplary system and method are directed t receiving a dial plan. The dial plan is parsed into a plurality of expressions. Then there is a determination of at least one expression element for each of the plurality of expressions. A rule is associated with the at least one expression element and the rule is added to an array of a finite state machine. A digit input is received. A match result is determined indicating whether the digit input matches a corresponding expression element of each expression available for consideration based on the applicable rule. Expressions are selectively removed from consideration based on the applicable rule. | 06-25-2009 |
20090252321 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CREATING A MEDIA SIGNAL - Embodiments relate to a method for rendering a media signal in a communication terminal, comprising the steps of, under control of a control unit in the communication terminal: receiving a transmission over a network, selecting media files stored in the communication terminal in a first order forming a media signal, and rendering the selected media files in the first order over an output arrangement of the communication terminal. | 10-08-2009 |
20100061546 | CALL NOTIFICATION SYSTEM, METHOD, COMPUTER PROGRAM AND ADVERTISING METHOD - A call notification system method, computer program and advertising method are disclosed. A call notification is generated at a recipient system ( | 03-11-2010 |
20100215170 | Presence Based Telephony Call Signaling - Methods and systems for presence based telephony call signaling are presented. An incoming call is received at a computer, where the computer includes a computer loudspeaker and computer display. A headset donned state or a headset doffed state is identified for a wireless headset, where the wireless headset includes a headset speaker and headset output user interface. A proximity between the wireless headset and the computer is determined. An incoming call notification is output to the headset speaker, the headset output user interface, the computer loudspeaker, or the computer display responsive to identifying the headset donned state or headset doffed state and determining the headset proximity. | 08-26-2010 |
20110075835 | SELF ADAPTING HAPTIC DEVICE - Methods and apparatuses are disclosed that allow an electronic device to autonomously adapt one or more user alerts of the electronic device. For example, some embodiments may include a method for operating a haptic device including driving a haptic device using a control signal, measuring a frequency related to the operation of the haptic device and comparing the measured frequency with a target frequency. A control signal is adjusted based on the comparison to drive the haptic device to the target frequency. | 03-31-2011 |
20110299677 | CALL SIGNAL GENERATING DEVICE - A call signal generating device, whose pair of output terminals is connected to a telephone set, includes a rectifier rectifying an inputted high frequency signal and maintaining an output polarity in one of two polarities ; and a polarity reverser generating a call signal by periodically reversing the output polarity of the rectifier and supplying it to the telephone set via the pair of output terminals. | 12-08-2011 |
20140140500 | DEVICE CALL NOTIFICATION EXTENSIONS - An aspect provides a method, including: detecting an incoming voice call at an information handling device; detecting one or more external notification extension conditions at the information handling device, tracking user-device interactions to build a pattern of user behavior with respect to external conditions; updating the one or more external notification extension conditions based on the pattern of user behavior; and in response to detecting one or more updated external notification extension conditions at the information handling device, extending a notification of the incoming voice call at the information handling device. Other aspects are described and claimed. | 05-22-2014 |
20140301544 | METHOD FOR PROVIDING PARTICULARIZED AUDIBLE ALERTS - A system and method of generating at least two distinctive auditory alerts upon receiving a transmission or telephone call at a device is described. Data indicative of a first plurality of sounds corresponding to a user of a device configured to receive the transmission or telephone call is accessed, such as from a memory. The first plurality of sounds is played at the device so as to identify a received transmission or telephone call being directed to the user. A telephone number, subscriber name or identifier associated with a transmitting or calling party of the transmission or telephone call is accessed. Data indicative of a second plurality of sounds designating the transmitting or calling party based on the subscriber name, telephone number or identifier is retrieved, such as from a data structure, and the second plurality of sounds is played at the device so as to identify the transmitting or calling party. | 10-09-2014 |
