20130165086 | SELECTION OF A LINK IN A RECEIVED MESSAGE FOR SPEAKING REPLY, WHICH IS CONVERTED INTO TEXT FORM FOR DELIVERY - A link, called an X-Link™ and is placed in a message (SMS, MMS, email etc.) that is sent to a user and displayed on their device (e.g. mobile telephone). When the link is selected by the user, it connects the user's device to a conversion system, enabling the user to speak a reply which is then converted to a text based reply message; the reply message is then sent to the original message sender (and/or another appropriate recipient). This approach enables a text message to be responded to by voice: it is an example of an asymmetric communication. There are many circumstances where this approach is very useful—for example if the message is a SMS and the recipient does not know how to respond using SMS, or is in an environment where it is difficult (perhaps when walking or driving). | 2013-06-27 |
20130165087 | PARTY INFORMATION FOR DATA-CAPABLE COMMUNICATION DEVICE - Detailed information about a party can be provided during interparty communication.

Storage can be included to include address book function, query caching, and user preferences. An interface can be provided to facilitate display of rich caller identification information. The interface can further update displayed information without user input, or provide user selection control to request more information on a selected portion of displayed information. These features can be applied to determine the information about a party that is either receiving a communication or initiating a communication. | 2013-06-27 |
