20080270718 | USER INTERFACE INDICATOR FOR MOBILE DEVICE BACKUP STATUS - Systems and methods are provided for performing data backup of a communication device. Data backup can occur automatically or manually. A data backup status indicator is displayed on the communication device indicating the current status of the data backup. The user can select the data backup status indicator to obtain additional information about the status of the data backup service. | 10-30-2008 |
20090180598 | VISUAL VOICE MESSAGING STATE SYNCHRONIZATION - Managing shared voice messages across the multiple voice messaging systems of the various recipients of a message. A server may act as a gateway and may interact with the multiple voice messaging systems and multiple user devices of the recipients. The server may retrieve voice messages from the sender voice messaging system and may transmit the voice message to the disparate voice messaging systems of the recipients with or without user assistance. The voice messages may be transcoded as necessary. The server then may determine the status of the voice message in the voice messaging systems of the recipients and may update the message status in the sender's and the recipients' voice message systems accordingly. | 07-16-2009 |
20100329434 | MESSAGING SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Managing voice messages across multiple voicemail systems. A server acts as a gateway and interacts with multiple voicemail systems and with multiple user devices. The server can retrieve voice messages from one voicemail system and transmit the retrieved voice messages to another separate voicemail system without user assistance. The voice messages are transcoded as necessary. The server also enables a recipient to generate a reply voice message that can be delivered to the original sender's device or delivered to the sender in another manner, such as a Vnote, SMS or an email. | 12-30-2010 |
20110106942 | Data collection associated with components and services of a wireless communication network - Systems, apparatus, and methods for transmitting a data collection profile from a server in connection with a telecommunications network that includes multiple devices. The data collection profile controls which devices should collect data, the condition under which certain data is desired, and when the data is to be returned. The data collection profile is provided to devices which collect data in accordance with the data collection profile. Finally, the collected data is received by a service platform for further processing. | 05-05-2011 |
20120117346 | USER INTERFACE INDICATOR FOR MOBILE DEVICE BACKUP STATUS - Systems and methods are provided for performing data backup of a communication device. Data backup can occur automatically or manually. A data backup status indicator is displayed on the communication device indicating the current status of the data backup. The user can select the data backup status indicator to obtain additional information about the status of the data backup service. | 05-10-2012 |

20120276878 | SELECTIVE ACTIVATION OF ALERTS FOR RECEIPT AND AVAILABILITY OF DATA IN A COMMUNICATION DEVICE - A recipient activates or deactivates user alerts associated with the receipt and/or availability of communications using rules in an alert profile stored on a device, a server, or a location accessible to the server. In one embodiment, the device can implement the rules when a communication is received and/or available. If an alert is activated, the device renders the alert. If the alert is deactivated, the device does not render the alert unless and until the alert is activated. In another embodiment, the server can implement the rules. If the alert is activated when the communication is transmitted to the device, the server also transmits alert-rendering instructions, whereupon the device can render the alert as specified in the instructions. If the alert is deactivated when the communication is transmitted to the device, the server does not transmit the instructions unless and until the alert is activated. | 11-01-2012 |
20130012170 | VOICE MESSAGING SERVICE FOR NETWORK-BASED INSTANT CONNECT SYSTEMS - Voice messaging services are used to provide messages for recipients associated with terminated network-based instant connect communication sessions. A first device engages in a communication session with a second device. The communication session between the two devices terminates and the first device records locally a voice message addressed to the second device. The message may be stored on the first device and transmitted to the second device after another communication session is established between the two devices. Alternately, the voice message may be transmitted to a message server and forwarded to the second device at a later time. | 01-10-2013 |
